Module 10 Flashcards
Pressure
amount of pressure produced by an injection device to overcome resistance within or on the vascular system. action of a force against an opposing force
Potential Pressure
Pressure seen when the machine is turned on
Actual Pressure
The pressure the machine indicates when the rate of flow is set and the solution is allowed to flow
Differential pressure
The difference between potential and actual pressure.
Rate of flow
The speed at which the fluid moves. The faster the rate of flow, the less pressure can be applied.
Distribution
movement of embalming solution from the point of injection throughout the arterial system and into the capillaries
Diffusion
Diffusion is the movement from the vascular system into the tissues.
Osmosis
a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane. important to the diffusion of tissues. compare two different solutions such as body fluids and the embalming solution will determine how the solution will move. hypotonic solution in cases of dehydrated and bodies with normal moisture. This is because, in comparison, the more hypertonic body fluids will “draw” our solution towards it and create proper diffusion.
Hypotonic
Hypotonic embalming fluids are the most effective / a solution having a lesser concentration of dissolved solute than the solution to which it is compared
Hypertonic
a solution having greater concentration of dissolved solute than the solution to which it is compared
Isotonic
a solution having equal concentration of dissolved solute as the solution in which is compared
Dialysis
The force of our machine or even gravity causes the movement of our solution, and as it does it separates the larger particles from the smaller ones.
Gravity filtration
extravascular settling of fluid due to gravity / Passive transport system that helps move embalming fluid through the interstitial fluid / responsible for the movement of fluid to depend part of the body / Continues for sometime after arterial injection / NOT the movement of fluid through out the vascular system
