Chapter 13 Quiz Flashcards
The amount of pressure produced by an injection device to overcome initial resistance within (intravascular) or on (extravascular) the vascular system (arterial or venous)
Injection pressure
The embalming solution that leaves the capillaries and eventually embalms the cells
Retained embalming fluid
The difference between potential and actual pressures
Differential pressure
Fluid in the supporting connective tissues surrounding body cells (about 1/5 of the body weight)
Interstitial fluid
Pressure indicated by the injector gauge needle when the injector motor is running and the arterial tubing is clamped off
Potential pressure
Pressure developed as the flow of embalming solution is established and the elastic arterial walls expand and then contract, resulting in filling of the capillary beds and development of pressure filtration
Intravascular pressure
Mixture of arterial (vascular) fluid and water used for the arterial injection. May include supplemental fluids
Arterial solution
The pressure indicated by the injector gauge needle when the arterial tube is open and the arterial solution is flowing into the body
Actual pressure
Solution having a lesser concentration of dissolved solute than the solution with which it is compared
Hypotonic solution
Solution having a greater concentration of dissolved solute than the solution with which it is compared
Hypertonic solution
