Module 10 vocab

Question 1

Pressure

Answer 1

action of a force against an opposing force

Question 2

Potential Pressure

Answer 2

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

Question 3

Actual Pressure

Answer 3

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

Question 4

Differential Pressure

Answer 4

Difference between potential and actual pressures

Question 5

Rate of flow

Answer 5

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

Question 6

Distribution

Answer 6

the movement of embalming solutions from the point of injection throughout the arterial system and into the capillaries.

Question 7

Diffusion

Answer 7

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 8

Osmosis

Answer 8

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

Question 9

Hypotonic

Answer 9

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

Question 10

Hypertonic

Answer 10

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

Question 11

Isotonic

Answer 11

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

Question 12

Dialysis

Answer 12

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

Question 13

Gravity Filtration

Answer 13

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