quiz 9 Flashcards
anatomical embalming
- soft embalming
- what we do in lab with donors, no aspiration of cavities
bequethal
giving by will after death of the body for anatomical donation
expert tests of death
- stethoscope = listen for respiration
- ophthalmoscope = examine interior of eye
- electroencephalogram = record of brain activity
- electrocardiogram = record of electrical activity in heart
- evoked response = testing function of certain sense organs
inexpert tests of death
- fogging a mirror = placed beneath nose to check breath
- ligature test = wrap ligature/rubber band on finger to check for swelling from blood flow
- ammonia injection test = if injected subcutaneously will turn reddish if alive
- pulse = for heartbeat
- listening for respiration
tardieu spots
minute petechial hemorrhages caused by the rupture of minute vessels as blood settles into the dependent ares of organs and tissues; it is accompanied by livor mortis. postmortem, extravascular blood discoloration. most common in asphyxial or slow deaths
anatomical features
- are prominent anatomical features on the body that can be used for reference
- like clavicle, mandible, sternum, etc
anatomical guide
Method of locating a structure by reference to an adjacent known or prominent structure
anatomical limit
Point of origin and point of termination in relation to adjacent structures
anatomical position
the body is erect, feet together, palms facing forward, and thumbs pointed away from body
anterior triangle
- the midline of the neck between the tip of the mandible and the sternum
- then extend this line superiorly along the anterior border fo the sternocleidomastoid and then anteriorly along the lower margin of the body of the mandible
arch of the aorta
- center of arterial solution distribution
- branches = brachiocephalic artery, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery
ascending aorta
- originates at the left ventricle; at its beginning, the aortic semilunar valve should close, this creating the pathway for arterial solution distribution
- branches = left and right coronary arteries
cervicoaxillary canal
- the apex of the axilla is this opening
- transmits structures from the neck into the arm and is bounded by three bony structures (clavicle, scapula, and first rib)
distal
refers to distance, sites away from the center (trunk of the body)
external iliac artery
- Medial border of the psoas
major muscle - are the terminal branches of the abdominal aorta
- lies lateral to the eternal iliac vein
fascia lata
- also called deep fascia
- encloses the muscles of the thigh
femoral triangle
- Inguinal Ligament
- Medial border of the
sartorius muscle - Lateral border of the
adductor longus
muscle
linear guide
An imaginary line drawn on the surface of the skin to represent the approximate location of some deeper lying structure
omohyoid
- located in the front of the neck, and consists of paired muscle bellies joined by an intermediate tendon
origin
platysma
- a muscle of facial expression, indicated by the shallow, transverse wrinkles of the neck
- thin, cutaneous
proximal
indicates proximity, nearer to the center (trunk of body)
right subclavian artery
- begins at the right snernoclavicular articulation and extends to the lateral border of the first rib
sternocleidomastoid muscle
- attached to the mastoid process of the temporal bone and the manubrium of the sternum
- goes along the side of the neck
