🗑
what percentage of blood is in the veins?   10%  
🗑
what percentage of blood is in the capillaries?   85%  
🗑
blood drainage method that involves building back pressure by injecting, then draining, then injecting, then draining, etc; most efficient method of blood drainage   alternate drainage  
🗑
blood drainage method in which you close the vein, begin injecting, continue injection & open the vein; continuous injection   intermittent drainage  
🗑
two types of restricted drainage   alternate & intermittent  
🗑
blood drainage method in which injection & drainage are continuous   concurrent/continuous drainage  
🗑
most effective blood drainage method   alternate drainage  
🗑
least effective blood drainage method   concurrent/continuous drainage  
🗑
most common blood drainage method   concurrent/continuous  
🗑
bluish discoloration of the tissues due to lack of oxygen in the blood   cyanotic  
🗑
fluid between cells   interstitial fluid  
🗑
antemortem injuries resulting from friction of the skin against a firm object resulting in the removal of the epidermis   abrasion  
🗑
method of injection-drainage in which embalming solution is injected and then injection is stopped while drainage is open   alternate drainage (restricted drainage)  
🗑
generalized massive edema in subcutaneous tissue   anasarca  
🗑
disease of the arteries resulting in thickening, hardening, and loss of elasticity of the arterial walls   arteriosclerosis  
🗑
accumulation of serous fluids in the peritoneal cavity   ascites  
🗑
insufficient intake of oxygen resulting from any of numerous causes   asphyxia  
🗑
apparatus used for sterilization by steam pressure, usually at 250*F/121*C for a specific time   autoclave  
🗑
formation of new channels in a tissue   canalization  
🗑
drainage procedure that limits the exposure of the embalmer to the drainage. tubing is attached to a drain tube allowing drainage to flow directly from a vein into a sanitary disposal system   closed system drainage  
🗑
disinfection practices carried out during the embalming process   concurrent disinfection  
🗑
crackling sensation produced when gases trapped in tissues are palpated, as in subcutaneous emphysema   crepitation  
🗑
sloughing off of the epidermis, wherein there is a separation of the epidermis from the underlying dermis   skin slip/desquamation  
🗑
a condition that results when the body part that dies had little blood and remains aseptic; occurs when arteries but not the veins are obstructed   dry gangrene  
🗑
removal of the eye for tissue transplantation, research, or education   eye enucleation  
🗑
extravasation of blood as a result of eye enucleation   eye enucleation discoloration  
🗑
necrosis, death of tissues of part of the body, usually due to deficient or absent blood supply   gangrene  
🗑
necrotic tissue that is wet as a result of inadequate venous drainage; may be accompanied by the invasion of saprophytic bacteria   moist gangrene  
🗑
injection of embalming chemicals directly into the tissues through the use of a syringe and needle or a trocar   hypodermic embalming  
🗑
the swelling and softening of tissues and organs as a result of absorbing moisture from adjacent sources   imbibition  
🗑
fluid inside cells of the body (constituting about one-half of the body weight)   intercellular fluid/interstitial fluid  
🗑
method of drainage in which the drainage is stopped at intervals while the injection continues   intermittent drainage (restricted drainage)  
🗑
condition that results when the body part that dies had little blood and remains aseptic and occurs when the arteries but not the veins are obstructed   ischemic necrosis (dry gangrene)  
🗑
wound characterized by irregular tearing of tissue   laceration  
🗑
specific pathologic structural and functional changes or both brought about by disease or injury   lesion  
🗑
to examine by touch   palpate  
🗑
antemortem discoloration that occurs during the course of certain diseases; gangrene and jaundice   pathological discoloration  
🗑
disinfection carried out prior to the embalming process   primary disinfection  
🗑
the recovery of organs or tissues from a cadaver for transplantation or study   procurement  
🗑
postmortem evacuation of any substance from an external orifice of the body as a result of pressure   purge  
🗑
a darkened, air-dried area on the skin resulting from removal of the epidermis while shaving   razor burn/razor abrasion  
🗑
repeated aspiration of a cavity   re-aspiration  
🗑
intermittent or alternate injection and drainage   restricted drainage  
🗑
distention of the tissues beneath the skin by gas or air; an antemortem condition brought about by a surgical procedure or trauma   subcutaneous emphysema  
🗑
the direct contact of body tissues with embalming chemicals   surface embalming  
🗑
an absorbent material compress saturated with an embalming chemical and placed in direct contact with the tissue   surface pack  
🗑
postmortem accumulation of gas in tissues or cavities brought about by an anaerobic gas-forming bacillus, Clostridium perfringens   tissue gas  
🗑
a physical injury or wound caused by external force or violence   trauma  
🗑
