Q

canalization

A
  • creates tiny pathways or canals within the vessel to allow the passage of blood
  • Formation of new channels in tissue

Q

cerebrovascular accident

A
  • Stroke caused by a clot or the rupture of a small artery in the brain
  • Vasoconstriction on one side of the body (reduces fluid distribution)

Q

diabetes

A
  • endocrine disease affecting the control of blood glucose levels
  • Poor peripheral circulation
  • Gangrene
  • Dehydration

Q

dry gangrene

A
  • Poor arterial circulation into an area of the body, causing death of body cells
  • Impossible to establish aerial solution distribution
  • Surface and hypodermic treatments are needed

Q

esophageal varices

A
  • Swollen, tortuous veins caused by a stagnation of blood and generally seen in the superficial veins
  • Drainage may be difficult to establish
  • Rupture and massive purge may occur

Q

extracerebral clot

A
  • clot, usually in the carotid artery, that stops supply to the brain
  • Can occlude the artery making it impossible for arterial solution to flow to one side of the face
  • Might not be able to use the carotid artery for injection
  • May cause vasoconstriction on one side of the body, reducing arterial solution distribution

Q

extravascular resistance

A
  • External pressure upon an artery or a vein that causes the lumen to narrow or collapse, creating resistance within the vessel
  • Restricts flow within the vessel
  • Multipoint injection is recommended

Q

febrile disease

A
  • elevation of body temperature
  • Decomposition may be speeded
  • Dehydration
  • Blood coagulation
  • May be hard to establish distribution and drainage

Q

hemorrhage

A
  • Loss of blood caused by a break in the vascular system
  • May be little drainage
  • Ruptured arteries and veins fill body cavities
  • Multisite injection may be necessary
17
Q

ischemia

A
  • Lack of blood supply to an area, frequently resulting in tissue necrosis
  • Arterial solution cannot reach the affected tissues
  • Hypodermic and surface embalming treatments are needed
18
Q

leukemia

A
  • Cancer of the tissues that form white blood cells
  • Purpura is observed over the thorax, arms, and abdomen
  • Edema may be present
  • May be difficult to inject and drain
19
Q

moist gangrene

A
  • Occlusion of veins raining a body area that becomes the site of bacterial infection
  • Very strong fluid must be injected into the general area arterially
  • The affected necrotic tissues require hypodermic an surface treatments
20
Q

pneumonia

A
  • Acute inflammation of the lung
  • Lung purge
  • Fever spreads onset of rigor and decomposition
  • Neck can easily become distended
  • Aspirate immediately after arterial injection
21
Q

syphilis

A
  • Venereal disease (VD) caused by spirochete treponema pallidum
  • Aneurysms may occur in arteries
  • Rupture can make distribution of arterial solution impossible
22
Q

tuberculosis

A
  • Infection of the lungs by mycobacterium tuberculosis that may spread to other organs
  • cavitation may result
  • purge
23
Q

vasodilation

A
  • Narrowing of a blood vessel
  • Arteries affected by a stroke may be difficult to supply sufficient arterial solution to the affected side of the body
  • Multipoint injection may be necessary
