XII. 1. Read Text D. 2. Entitle it. 3. Say why probing with radio-pill is used:

TextD

It is common knowledge how difficult it is to examine the gastrointestinal tract. Long rubber tubes are used and the process of probing is known to cause the patient much discomfort. It gives only limited possibilities for the examina­tion of the stomach and none at all for the intestine. Usual physiological meth­ods are often ineffective for studying many important processes in the human intestine.

But a small electronic instrument called a radio-pill (радиокапсула) helps the physician in this matter. It is a small tube less than two cm long and only some millimetres in diameter. A very small transistor - transmitter is inside the tube.

The patient swallows this radio-pill which passes along the gastrointestinal tract sending information on pressure, temperature, gastric secretion, the lever of acidity, etc., thus helping the physician to reveal all the pathologic changes.
