quiz 2

Question 1

absorption

Answer 1

colloidal dispersion absorb molecules

Question 2

active transport

Answer 2

mechanism that moves
material across the cell membrane

Question 3

actual pressure

Answer 3

the resultant pressure reading when the rate of flow valve is opened

Question 4

delivery of arterial solution

Answer 4

from the embalming machine through the tubing
and arterial tube into the artery; also referred to as injection

Question 5

differential pressure

Answer 5

difference between actual pressure and potential pressure is the rate of flow

Question 6

diffusion of arterial solution

Answer 6

from within the vascular system through the
capillary walls and into the tissue spaces

Question 7

distribution of arterial solution

Answer 7

from the point of injection throughout the
arterial system and into the capillaries

Question 8

extravascular resistance

Answer 8

resistances outside the blood vessels

Question 9

fluid distribution (diffusion?)

Question 10

improving arterial solution distribution

Answer 10

• increase rate of flow
• increase pressure
• inject arterial solution using pulsation
• restrict drainage
• massage along pathway of artery
• inject adequate amount of solution
• relieve abdominal extravascular pressure

Question 11

injection pressure

Answer 11

amount of pressure produced by an injection device
to overcome initial resistance within the vascular system

Question 12

intravascular pressure (IVP)

Answer 12

• causes pressure filtration which is the most important passive physical transport systems
• moves embalming solution from the capillaries to the tissue fluids

Question 13

intravascular resistance

Answer 13

resistances within the blood vessels

Question 14

observations prior to injection

Answer 14

presence or absence of livor mortis, degree of rigor mortis, distension of veins/small arteries, skin discolorations, and tissue firmness

Question 15

osmosis

Answer 15

the passive transport mechanism involved with liquid (or
solvent) movement
(through a semipermeable membrane)

Question 16

passive transport system

Answer 16

• responsible for the movement of embalming solution from within the capillaries to the tissues spaces
• main passive mechanisms in the dead body include pressure filtration, osmosis and dialysis

Question 17

potential pressure

Answer 17

pressure set with the rate-of-flow valve closed

Question 18

pressure filtration

Answer 18

• caused by intravascular pressure
• one of the most
  important passive physical transport systems
• moves embalming solution
  from the capillaries to the tissue fluids

Question 19

rate of flow

Answer 19

amount of embalming solution injected in a given time
period, also called the speed of delivery

Question 20

retained arterial solution

Answer 20

embalming solution that passes through the pores or walls of the
capillaries and eventually embalms the cells

Question 21

signs of arterial diffusion

Answer 21

• Dye is evident in the tissues
• Firming of the tissues
• Loss of skin elasticity (firming is evident)
• Drying of the tissues
• Rounding of the fingertips, lips, and toes
• Mottling of the tissues (bleaching)
• Fluorescent dye observed using a blacklight

Question 22

signs of arterial solution

Answer 22

• Dye is evident in the tissues
• Distension of superficial blood vessels
• Blood drainage
• Clearing of intravascular blood discolorations

Question 23

squamos epithelium

Answer 23

capillaries walls are composed of endothelium, which lines the entire vascular system and is made up of flat single layered cells ___
