Q

Channeling

A

Restorative treatment usually accompanied by aspiration, gravitation, or external pressure to remove gases or excess liquid from tissues; passages are made through the tissues with a scalpel, hypodermic needle, or trocar.
Man-made

22
Q

Cavitation

A

The formation of cavities in organ or tissue; frequently seen in some forms of tuberculosis
Pathological

23
Q

Lumen

A

The hollow space within an artery, vein, intestine, or anatomical tubelike structure

24
Q

The further away from the heart the _______ the lumen

25
Arch of the aorta
The center of embalming circulation
26
Since the arch of aorta is the center of the embalming circulation it is imperative to select an injection site
As close as possible to the arch
27
Right atrium of the heart
Center of venous drainage. The juncture of the superior and inferior vena cava
28
Displacement
Blood drainage is removed by the arterial solution pushing the blood forward towards the open drainage
29
What's more problematic? Injection or drainage, why?
Drainage is more problematic because it is indirect pressure; and injection is direct pressure
30
We should always drain from what side?
Right
31
The father of embalming
Dr. Fredrick Ruysh
32
All incisions used in arterial injection should be limited to
No more than 3"
33
Best artery to inject the arm
Axillary artery
34
Each subclavian artery gives off 4 branches:
1) left and right vertebral 2) left and right internal mammary 3) left and right costocervical 4) left and right thyrocervical
35
The arch of the aorta has 3 branches:
- right brachiocephalic (aka innominate) - left common carotid - left subclavian
36
There is no left ____________ artery
Brachiocephalic
37
The branches of the descending thoracic aorta supplies blood to the
Thoracic organs and tissues
38
The branches of the descending abdominal aorta supplies blood to the
Abdominal organs and tissues
39
The descending abdominal artery bifurcates into the
Right and left common iliac arteries
40
The internal iliac artery is a branch off of the
Common iliac artery
41
Superior to the internal iliac artery is the
Common iliac artery
42
Inferior to the internal iliac artery is the
External iliac artery
43
The external iliac artery is an extension of the
Common iliac artery
44
The external iliac artery terminates at the _____________ ligament where it becomes the ___________ artery
Inguinal, femoral
45
Common causes of desiccation marks
– Razor burn – Drainage forceps – Drain tube – Aneurysm hooks
46
Desiccation marks
Areas of embalmed tissue where excessive dehydration has occurred.
47
Incisions/sutures maybe seen at the following injection sites
- right and left common carotids - right and left ulnar arteries - right and left radial arteries
48
Another name for autopsy
postmortem examination or necropsy
49
Drainage is more problematic than injection because it is_______ pressure and injection is_________pressure.
Indirect, direct
50
All arteries in the living body has oxygenated blood except the
Pulmonary arteries
51
All veins in a living body carry Deoxygenated blood except for the
Pulmonary veins
52
From the bottom of the descending abdominal aorta up the veins are___________ and the arteries are__________Then they twist and it is reversed
Superficial, deep
