4TH QTR EMBALMING 2
Mr. Lewis- Embalming 2- chapter 13 & 14 review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| false signs of arterial fluid distribution to a body area | distension of small surface vessels firming fixation of the tissues drying of the tissues bleaching of the tissues blood drainage |
| stomach purge | coffee ground like substance clear brown liquid with dark particles sour odor |
| lung purge | frothy white liquid with air bubbles clear |
| the abdomen is divided into how many regions | 9 |
| list the nine abdominal regions | right hypochondriac epigastric left hypochondriac right lumbar umbilical left lumbar right inguinal hypogastric left inguinal |
| advantages of immediate cavity treatment | saves time suggested for infectious disease cases removes materials that may purge removal of blood helps to prevent blood discolorations |
| cons of immediate cavity treatment | may not allow enough time for adequate post embalming penetration of the arterial fluid |
| pros of delayed cavity treatment | allows for maximum time for post embalming penetration of the arterial fluid |
| cons of delayed cavity treatment | could allow gases to build could take longer waste time could contribute to purge |
| conditions that require re aspiration | blood infections ascites (edema) respiratory infections visceral cancers obesity history of purge advanced decomposition all ship out/ ship in cases gas |
| cavity embalming is performed because of reason number 1 | to supplement (add to but no substitute for) the disinfection and preservation of the walls of the hollow body organs that have already been embalmed with arterial fluids |
| cavity embalming is performed because of reason number 2 | to remove or treat the contents of the hollow body organs (which have not been treated with any embalming fluid) removing as much of the contents as possible will decrease the secondary dilution of the cavity fluid |
| cavity embalming is performed because of reason number 3 | to remove or neutralize the active enzymes present in the contents of the hollow body organs |
| cavity embalming is performed because of reason number 4 | to remove or prevent the occurrence of odor and purge of the contents of the hollow body organs |
| osmosis | passage of solvent from a solution of lesser to one of greater solute concentration when the two solutions are separated by a semi permeable membrane |
| primary dilution | dilution attained as the embalming solution is mixed in the embalming machine |
| secondary solution | dilution of the embalming fluid by the fluids in the body both vascular and interstitial |
| dialysis | separation of substances in solution by the difference in their rates of diffusion through a semi permeable membrane |
| pressure filtration | passage of embalming solution through the capillary wall to diffuse with the interstitial fluids by application of positive intravascular pressure. embalming solution passes from an intravascular to an extravascular position |
| passive transport system | method by which solutes and or solvents cross through a membrane with no energy provided by the cells of the membrane. In embalming examples include pressure filtration dialysis diffusion and osmosis |
| what is considered the center of arterial solution distribution | ascending aorta and the arch of the aorta |
