biomedical science and technology

Question 1

Current

Answer 1

measurement of the rate of flow of the electrons

Question 2

Amperes

Answer 2

measurement of amount of current flowing past a given point in a circuit in one second

Question 3

voltage

Answer 3

the force or push that moves free electrons from one atom to anther

Question 4

Frequency

Answer 4

the number of energy waves that pass through a specific point over a specific period of time. measured in hertz

Question 5

AC

Answer 5

alternating current; electrons flow back and forth along a single pathway due to changes in polarity

Question 6

DC

Answer 6

flows in one direction but loses voltage when it travels

Question 7

circuit

Answer 7

pathway of electron flow

Question 8

resistance

Answer 8

measured in ohms; a property of substances that obstructs the flow of free electrons

Question 9

Law of inertia

Answer 9

object at rest stays at rest, object in motion stays in motion until acted upon

Question 10

Law of Gravity

Answer 10

every particle attracts another particle with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them

Question 11

Cavitational Ultrasonic Suction Aspirator

Answer 11

an ultrasonic vibrating tip used to break up and vacuum away tissue.

Question 12

What are the three characteristics of a laser?

Answer 12

coherence, collimation, and monochromatic

Question 13

Pitch

Answer 13

up and down movement

Question 14

Roll

Answer 14

Rotational movement

Question 15

Telechir

Answer 15

remotely controlled robot

Question 16

Yaw

Answer 16

right and left movement

Question 17

Single robotic arm

Answer 17

manipulates the instrument under the surgeons direct control. Attached to OR table.

Question 18

Electrical energy

Answer 18

The movement of electrons from one atomic valence she’ll to the valence shell of an adjacent atom

Question 19

The greater the number of free electrons, the greater the what

Answer 19

Conductivity

Question 20

Power

Answer 20

The rate at which the electrical movement is accomplished measured in watts

Question 21

Impedance

Answer 21

Materials that either facilitate or obstruct the flow of electricity

Question 22

Monopolar

Answer 22

The flow of electricity occurs in one direction. Electrical energy passes through the adjacent body tissues before contacting the return electrode. May inadvertently damage unintended tissues

Question 23

Bipolar

Answer 23

The active and return electrode are contained within the same delivery device,
