Ch 5: Water & Solution Flashcards
What is the most common vehicle used in embalming solution?
Water
What gives water a high surface tension
Hydrogen Bonding
What limits distribution of arterial solution through capillary beds?
Surface Tension
Compound in which water molecules are bound to another chemical or element, typically a crystalline structure
Hydrate
Phenomena when hydrate absorbs enough water from air that it liquifies
Deliquescence
Substance without water
Anhydrous
Hydrate without water
Anhydride
What makes water hard?
The presence of sulfate and chloride salts of calcium and magnesium
What makes water soft?
The removal of calcium and magnesium
Why is calcium important in blood clot formation?
Decreases the arterial solution distribution
What is used to keep blood in liquid state and promote drainage
Anticoagulant
A solution with a higher osmotic pressure relative to another solution
Hypertonic solution
A solution with a lower osmotic pressure relative to another solution
Hypotonic solution
A solution with an osmotic pressure equal to another solution
Isotonic solution
Solution not yet reached saturation
Unsaturated
