18. An examination table comprising:
-
an upper support structure; a sliding mechanism disposed along an outer surface side running along a longitudinal length of the upper support structure and having a body slide member secured to the upper support structure and a panel slide member connected to the body slide member, the body slide member and the panel slide member slide parallel to one another; a sliding access panel connected to the panel slide member and extendable along a longitudinal length of the upper support structure away from an end thereof such that the sliding access panel extends beyond a perimeter of the upper support structure; and an adjustable examination passageway provided when the sliding access panel is repositioned at various measurements and positioned between an end of the sliding access panel, the sliding mechanism, and a side of the upper support positioned perpendicular to the sliding mechanism and extending transverse to the outer surface side.
