midterm/site visit Flashcards
proteolysis refers to decomposition of
proteins
any abnormal color appearing in or upon the human body is called
discoloration
a sharp cutting instrument used for making incisions is called a
scalpel
low index fluids used to inhibit bilirubin from turning to biliverdin are known as
jaundice
this embalming method consists of injecting a few ounces of arterial chemical, stopping injection, then draining for a few minutes, and then repeating the process
alternate
what type of embalming chemical might the embalmer use as a drying and disinfectant agent when preparing the cavities of autopsied remains
hardening compound
those changes occurring in the interval prior to somatic death are
antemortem
severe generalized edema is known as
anasarca
this term refers to the after death examination of the organs and tissues of human remains to determine cause of death or pathological conditions
postmortem? (autopsy)
chemicals that increase the capability for embalmed tissues to retain their moisture are called
humectants
which of the following would indicate a postmortem extravascular discoloration
postmortem stain
what embalming instrument is used to inject arterial fluid into the thoracic walls of an autopsied body
hypo valve trocar
injection and drainage from one location is called
singe point injection
how many ounces of formaldehyde are contained in a 16 ounce bottle of 25 index arterial fluid
4 ounces
the movement of embalming solution from one point of injection throughout the arterial system and into the capillaries is called
distribution
an imaginary line drawn on the surface of the skin to represent the approximate location of some deeper underlying structure is the
linear guide
a needle injector is used for this purpose
mouth closure
the consideration given to the dead body, prior to, during, and after the embalming procedure is complete
case analysis
a process of chemically treating the deceased to reduce the presence and growth of microorganisms, retard organic decomposition, and restore an acceptable physical appearance is
embalming
discoloration resulting when formaldehyde reacts with hemoglobin in the tissues is called
formaldehyde gray
chemicals which inactivate saprophytic bacteria are called
preservatives
a humectant commonly used in embalming fluids is
sorbitol
what is created when the embalmer combines embalming fluid with water in the injection device
primary dilution
content normally aspirated from the stomach is
sour smell, brown coffee ground like appearance
