Module 10 Flashcards
action of a force against an opposing force
Pressure
pressure indicated by the injector gauge
needle when the injector motor and the arterial tubing is clamped off
Potential Pressure
Pressure indicated by the injector gauge needle
when the arterial tube is open and the arterial solution is flowing
Actual Pressure
the difference between the actual and
potential pressure
Differential Pressure
amount of fluid entering the body in a given period
and is measured in oz /
Rate of Flow
movement of embalming solution from the point
of injection throughout the arterial system and into the capillaries
Distribution
passage of pure solvent from a solution of lesser to
one of greater solute concentration when the two solutions are separated by a semi-permeable membrane from a dilute to a more concentrated solution
Osmosis
a solution having a lesser concentration of dissolved
solute than the solution to which it is compared. These types of embalming fluids are most effective
Hypotonic
a solution having greater concentration of dissolved
solute than the solution to which it is compared
Hypertonic
a solution having equal concentration of dissolved
solute as the solution in which is compared
Isotonic
separation of differing fluids substances due to the
diffusability through semipermeable membranes
Dialysis
extravascular settling of fluid due to gravity
Gravity Filtration
