Embalming I - Module 10 Flashcards
Action of a force against an opposing force (a force applied of acting against resistance)
Pressure
Pressure indicated by the injector gauge needle when the injector motor is running and the arterial tubing is clamped off.
Potential Pressure
That pressure indicated by the injector gauge needle when the arterial tube is open and the arterial solution is flowing into the body.
Actual Pressure
Difference between potential and actual pressures.
Differential Pressure
Speed at which the fluid is injected, measured in ounces per minute.
Rate of Flow
Movement of embalming solutions from the point of injection throughout the arterial system and into the capillaries.
Distribution
Passage of some components of the injection embalming solution from an intravascular to an extravascular location. Movement of the embalming solutions from the capillaries into the interstitial fluids.
Diffusion
Passage of solvent from a solution of lesser to one of greater solute concentration when the two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane.
Osmosis
Solution having a lesser concentration of dissolved solute the solution of with which its compared.
Hypotonic
Solution having greater concentration of dissolved solute than the solution with which its compared.
Hypertonic
Solution having concentration of dissolved solute equal to that of a standard of reference.
Isotonic
Separation of substances in solution by the difference in their rates of diffusion through a semipermeable membrane.
Dialysis
The settling of fluids by gravitational force to dependent areas of the body.
Gravity filtration
