Embalming Q3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| solid parts of blood separate from fluid parts | plasma filtration |
| what percentage of blood is in the arteries? | 5% |
| 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 |
