quiz 1

Question 1

the four distinct processes of arterial embalming

Answer 1

injection, distribution, diffusion, and drainage

Question 2

two primary functions of arterial embalming

Answer 2

injection of preservative solution and drainage

Question 3

blood drainage

Answer 3

5-6 quarts of blood in a 160lbs person witch is around 8% of body weight

Question 4

blood drainage

Answer 4

when person dies 85% of blood is in capillaries, 10% in veins, and 5% in the arteries

Question 5

drainage method - alternate

Answer 5

solution never injected while drainage is being taken

Question 6

drainage method - concurrent

Answer 6

injection and drainage occurs at the same time

Question 7

drainage method - intermittent

Answer 7

injection continues throughout embalming and drainage is shut off for selected short periods

Question 8

the purpose of drainage

Answer 8

make room for arterial solution, reduce a secondary, dilution of arterial fluid, remove intravascular blood discoloration, remove a tissue that rapidly decomposes, remove an element that speeds decomposition,…..

Question 9

instant tissue fixation

Answer 9

high strength solution injected in specific regions using short bursts under high pressure

Question 10

multipoint injection

Answer 10

injection from 2 or more sites

Question 11

multipoint injection

Answer 11

supplements the primary injection site when arterial solution cannot reach a particular area or when the area is insufficiently preserved

Question 12

multipoint injection

Answer 12

suitable arteries are located closer to the area insufficiently embalmed

Question 13

multipoint injection

Answer 13

advantages: increases the overall effectiveness of embalming, sectional embalming, military regulations require use of multiple sites for long term preservation

Question 14

one point injection

Answer 14

uses the same site for both arterial injection and blood drainage

Question 15

one point injection

Answer 15

suitable when embalmer anticipates uncomplicated distribution of embalming solution and favorable blood drainage

Question 16

disadvantages of one point injection

Answer 16

short circuiting of arterial solution - takes path of least resistance

Question 17

disadvantages of one point injection

Answer 17

can lead to shell embalming - embalming of the surface and not deeper tissues

Question 18

restricted cervical injection

Answer 18

effectively controls volume fo arterial solution entering head and face

Question 19

restricted cervical injection

Answer 19

prevents facial distension and dehydration when large volumes of strong solution are required to meet the preservative demands in trunk of body

Question 20

restricted cervical injection

Answer 20

good for bodies with facial trauma, eye enucleation, etc

Question 21

six point injection

Answer 21

anticipating embalming challenges (poor distribution, incomplete blood drainage, increased probability of tissue distension)

Question 22

drainage contents

Answer 22

composed of blood, blood clots, interstitial and lymphatic fluid, and embalming solution
- estimated 50% or more of drainage during embalming is embalming solution
- initial drainage most dangerous
