| A solution containing an excessive amount of surfactants might | waterlog tissues |
| Fluid with an index of 36 would be highly effective on | a case of advanced decomposition |
| The dilution created by the embalmer mixing arterial solution in the embalming machine | primary dilution |
| These compounds are incompatible with some of the components used in arterial fluids, so they are restricted to disinfecting the cavities. | quaternary ammonium compounds |
| Paraformaldehyde is a | solid |
| The time lapse between death and embalming is called | postmortem interval |
| This dialdehyde tends to stain tissues yellow | glyoxal |
| 3 specific purposes of hardening compounds are | 1.)disinfection 2.) dehydration 3.) preservation |
| The term that refers to the amount of formaldehyde gas, in grams, dissolved in 100ml. of water | index |
| Fluids with an index of 26 would? | produce moderate, slow forming flexible firmness with little dehydration |
| This type of jaundice fluid contains no preservatives and they contain cosmetic dyes to have a bleaching effect on the bilirubin. | non-formaldehyde fluid |
| The pH of embalming fluid is determined by | the fluid manufacturer |
| Embalming fluids achieve preservation and disinfection by | bonding the amino group of one amino acid together with the carboxyl group of another |
| cudbear and cochineal are natural or synthetic coloring agents? | natural coloring agents |
| Eosin and ponceau are natural or synthetic coloring agents? | synthetic coloring agents |
| Fluid with an index of 36 would have which effect on a jaundiced case (assume the person has been dead only a short time and has no other significant problems besides the jaundice) | green discoloration |
| Roccal and Zephiran chloride are examples of | germicides |
| The initial color change of decomposing tissue is? | green |
| Ingredient in embalming fluids that retards the natural postmortem tendency of blood to become more viscous or prevents adverse reactions between blood and other embalming chemicals | anticoagulants |
| To change the structure of protein so that some of its original properties, especially its biological activity, are diminished or eliminated | Denature |
| The initial color change of decomposing tissue is | green |
| Ingredient of embalming fluid that retards the natural postmortem tendency of blood to become more vicous or prevents adverse reactions between blood and other embalming chemicals | anticoagulants |
| To change the structure of protein so that some of its original properties, especially its biological activity, are diminished or eliminated | Denature |
| A protein whose structure has been changed by a physical or chemical agent | denatured protein |
| The chemical bond formed between carboxyl groups and amino groups of neighboring amino acids, constituting the primary linkage of all protein structures | peptide linkage |
| The reaction between molecules of the same kind that produces a substance having a molecular weight approximately a multiple of the original substance | polymerization |
| Groups of chemicals used in addition to vascular (arterial) and cavity embalming fluid, including, but not limited to, hardening compounds, preservative powders, sealing agents, mold, preventative agents, and pack application agents | modifying agents |
| Chemical that reduces the molecular cohesion of liquid so it can flow through smaller apertures | surfactants |
| Chemicals found in embalming arterial formulations having the capability of displacing an unpleasant odor or of altering an unpleasant odor so that it is converted to a more pleasant one. | perfuming agents |
| Degree of acidity or alkalinity | pH |
| Fluid injected for purposes other than preservation and disinfection. These chemicals generally fall into one of three categories : preinjection, coinjection, and humectants or restorative fluids. | supplemental fluids |
| Organic compound found in plants and animals; can be broken down into amino acids | protein |
| Can the osmotic qualities of your arterial solution be controlled by inorganic salts in the solution?? | yes |
| A process forming chemical bonds between two separate molecular chains | peptide linkage |
| The passage of solvent from a solution of lesser to one of greater solute concentrations when the two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane | Hypertonic solution |
| A product resulting from polymerization | polymer |
| The mixture of arterial (vascular) fluid and water which is used for the arterial injection and may include supplemental fluids. | Arterial solution |
| A solution having a greater concentration of dissolved solute than the solution to which its is compared | hypotonic solution |
| A solution whose purpose is to inactivate saprophytic bacteria and render the body tissues less susceptible to decomposition | Arterial Fluid |
| A solution having lesser concentration of dissolved solute than the solution to which it is compared | hypotonic solution |
| This solution is injected before the preservative vascular solution is injected. | preinjection fluid |
