Community DentistryFluoride is absorbed into the bloodstream and is primarily eliminated from the body through the kidneys. The kidneys filter the blood and excrete fluoride in the urine. While small amounts of fluoride can also be excreted through saliva and sweat, the kidneys are the main route of elimination.

RadiologyIn an X-ray tube, the filament (cathode) is heated to produce electrons through a process called thermionic emission. This heating is accomplished by a step-down low voltage transformer, which reduces the high voltage from the power supply to a lower voltage suitable for heating the filament. The step-down transformer ensures that the filament receives the correct amount of current to achieve the necessary temperature for electron production.
