Pressure vs. Rate of Flow Flashcards
That pressure indicated by the injector gauge needle when the arterial tube is open and the arterial solution is flowing into the body.
Actual Pressure
Separation of substances in solution by the difference in their rates of diffusion through a semipermeable membrane.
Dialysis
Difference between potential and actual pressures.
Differential Pressure
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.
Diffusion
Movement of embalming solutions from the point of injection throughout the arterial system and into the capillaries.
Distribution (fluid)
The settling of fluids by gravitational force to the dependent areas of the body.
Gravity filtration
Solution having a greater concentration of dissolved solute than the solution with which it is compared.
Hypertonic solution
Solution haveing a lesser concentration of dissolved solute than the solution with which it is compared
Hypotonic solution
A solution having a concentration of dissolved solute equal to that of a standard of reference.
Isotonic solution
Passage of solvent from a solution of lesser to one of greater solute concentration when the two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane.
Osmosis
Pressure indicated by the injector gauge needle when the injector motor is running and the arterial tubing is clamped off.
Potential Pressure
Action of a force against an opposing force (a force applied or acting against resistance).
Pressure
Speed at which fluid is injected, measured in ounces per minute.
