| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Embalm | Art and Science of disinfecting and temporarily preserving and restoring |
| Arterial (vascular) | embalming fluid injected into the body through vascular system. |
| Cavity Embalming | direct treatment other than arterial embalming aspiration + injection |
| Hypodermic | injection of chemical directly into the body |
| Surface(topical) | direct contact of internal or external tissue with body chemicals |
| How embalming works | Kills bacteria block receptors, enzymes, autolysis |
| Diffusion | where fluid gain entry to cell |
| Thanalogy | study of death and all aspects |
| Death | irreversible sensation of all body function |
| Apparent death | the cessation of all vital functions of the body including the heartbeat, brain activity (including the brain stem), and breathing. |
| Death Rattle | Sound sometime made by dying caused by labor breathing through air passages blocked by mucous |
| Death struggle | semi convulsive muscle movement |
| Agonal State | period immediately before death |
| articulo mortis | point of death |
| Human remains | body of deceased include skeleton |
| Cadaver | body embalmed in a special way for anatomical purposes |
| Cremated remains | elements od dead body remaining after cremation |
| Corpse | old legal term for a dead body |
| Mortality rate | a ratio of number of death in a given time to a population of a given area |
| Morbidity rate | a ratio specific disease over a given time to a given area |
| Somatic Death | death of a whole organism |
| Clinical death | heat beat and breathing stop but brain is still alive |
| Biologic death | irrevocable death, follows clinical death |
| Modes of Somatic Death | Starts by failure of one or more organ |
| Tripod of life | Heart,Lung,brain |
| syncope | death beginning at heart |
| como | brain |
| Asphyxia | Lungs |
| Cellular Death | death of individual cells of the body |
| anoxia | cause of cellular death, absence of oxygen |
| Necrobiosis | antemortem cell death and their replacement by new cells of the same type |
| necrosis | the pathological death of cells/tissues in a living body |
| slow | sudden deaths of healthy people, cell death is |
| rapid | deaths due to chronic diseases, cell death is |
| slow | death of a young person, cell death is |
| slow | cold environment cell death is |
| cyotoxic | death to the cell |
| signs of death | those sensible manifestations that indicate the absence of life in a human |
| decomposition | the only reliable sign of death |
| 7 signs of death | 1) cessation of heartbeat/respiration, 2) algor mortis, 3) livor mortis, 4) rigor mortis, 5) dehydration, 6) changes in the eye, 7) decomp |
| how does the eye change in death | eye clouds, cornea becomes milky, jelly of eye begins to evaporate |
| 5 signs of decomp | 1) green color (LRQuadrant), 2) skin slip, 3) purge, 4) gas buildup, 5) odor |
| test for death | any procedure used to prove a sign of death |
| expert test | those tests for death for which medical instruments are necessary |
| 5 expert tests for death | 1) stethoscope, 2) opthalmascope, 3) electroencephalograph, 4) electrocardiograph, 5) dye injection |
| inexpert tests | those tests for death which do not require specific training |
| 4 inexpert tests for death | 1) heartbeat/respiration check, 2) ligature test, 3) ammonia injection, 4) pulse test |
| agonal algor | the lowering of the body temp just before death |
| agonal fever | increase in body temp just before death |
| agonal hypostasis | a settling/moving of the blood to the dependent parts AM |
| agonal coagulation | AM clots/congealing of the blood |
| agonal capillary expansion | AM blood vessels expanding to get more oxygen and nutrients |
| agonal edema | AM increase moisture level |
| agonal dehydration | AM drying out of the body |
| agonal translocation of bacteria | AM bacteria that are normally in the intestines travel outward to find nutrients, immune system breaking down |
| facies hippocratica | term used to describe the faces of the dying, used by Hippocrates |
| post-mortem changes | those changes in the body from the molecular to the systemic level that take place after biologic death |
| post mortem intraval | the time after death and before embalming more changes will appear and be more severe |
| algor mortis | reduction in body temperature following death |
| livor mortis | settling of the blood in the lower (dependent) portion of the body |
| rigor mortis | chemical change in the muscles after death, causing the limbs of the corpse to become stiff and difficult to move or manipulate |
| moribund | person in agonal states |
| anoxia | total lost of oxygen |
| apoxia | slow decreases of oxygen |
| agonal consideration | that advancements in medicine allow a sick person to live longer making embalming more difficult |
