What may happen if the embalming solution is too concentrated?
putrefaction
polymerization
short circuiting
walling off
What may happen if the embalming solution is too concentrated?
walling off
Walling off occurs when the tissue is seared and creates a wall of resistance to the underlying tissue being preserved. Putrefaction is a chemical process of decomposition. Polymerization is a chemical process that occurs during the breakdown of embalming fluid. Short circuiting occurs due to blockage in arterial system.

Which type of immunity is the result of placental transfer of antibodies?
naturally acquired passive
naturally acquired active
artificially acquired passive
artificially acquired active
Which type of immunity is the result of placental transfer of antibodies?
naturally acquired passive
Naturally acquired active is immunity from having been exposed to a disease through infection. Artificially acquired passive is immunity through exposure to manufactured antibodies such as a blood transfusion. Artificially acquired active describes immunity through vaccination.
