Module 10

Question 1

Actual pressure

Answer 1

The pressure indicated by the injector gauge needle when the arterial tube is open and the arterial solution is flowing into the body

Question 2

Dialysis

Answer 2

Separation of substances in solution by the difference in their rates of diffusion through a semipermeable membrane

Question 3

Differential pressure

Answer 3

Difference between potential and actual pressures

Question 4

Diffusion

Answer 4

Movement of molecules or other particles in solution from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration until a uniform concentration is reached

Question 5

Distribution

Answer 5

Movement of embalming solutions from the point of injection throughout the arterial system into the capillaries

Question 6

Gravity Filtration

Answer 6

The settling of fluids by gravitational force to the dependent areas of the body

Question 7

Hypertonic

Answer 7

Solution having a greater concentration of dissolved solute than the solution with which it is compared

Question 8

Hypotonic

Answer 8

Solution having a lesser concentration of dissolved solute than the solution with which it is compared

Question 9

Isotonic

Answer 9

A solution having a concentration of dissolved solute equal to that of a standard of reference

Question 10

Osmosis

Answer 10

Passage of solvent from a solution of lesser on one of greater solute concentration when the two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane

Question 11

Potential Pressure

Answer 11

Pressure indicated by the injector gauge needle when the injector motor is running and the arterial tubing is clamped off

Question 12

Pressure

Answer 12

Action of a force against an opposing force

Question 13

Rate of Flow

Answer 13

Speed at which fluid is injected, measured in ounces per minute
