peripheral circulation
Preinjection fluid is a chemical with very little or no preservative - perfect answersTrue
f senile purpura is seen over the hands and arms of the deceased, a slow rate of flow is recommended.
Why? - perfect answersTo prevent the possible further rupture of fragile capillaries
Which of the following is not a factor determined in the embalming analysis? - perfect answersamount
of hypodermic tissue building
On the unautopsied infant, the common carotid artery is the largest of the non-aortic vessels - perfect
answersTrue
At birth, body water is approximately 50% of total body weight - perfect answersFalse
Mouth closure and lip closure describe the same thing - perfect answersF
,The biggest problem with mouth closure in the elderly is: - perfect answersatrophy of the maxillae and
mandible
In the autopsied body, the trunk should be injected first to observe tissue reaction to the chemical used
- perfect answersFalse
The recommended vessels for embalming the unautopsied infant include the common carotid artery,
the femoral artery, the abdominal aorta, and the ascending aorta. - perfect answersT
Eyecaps should never be used on infants. - perfect answersF
The viscera of the autopsied infant should be treated with undiluted cavity fluid. - perfect answersT
Infant skin can easily distend and wrinkle upon injection of arterial solution. - perfect answersT
Preservative demand is defined as the number of grams of pure formaldehyde gas dissolved in 100
milliliters of water. - perfect answersF
The discolorations known as senile purpura can be removed by arterial injection/venous drainage. -
perfect answersF
Infants should always be embalmed with dilute, low-index solutions. - perfect answersF
At 1 year of age, body water is about the same as the adult level of 60% of total body weight. - perfect
answersT
At 1 year of age, body water is about the same as the adult level of 50% of total body weight. - perfect
answersF
A coinjection fluid is used to enhance the action of the preservative solution - perfect answersT
, At 1 year of age, body water is about the same as the adult level of 70% of total body weight. - perfect
answersF
The vessels on the 4-to-12-year-old child should be larger than an infant s but smaller than an adult s. -
perfect answersT
In the autopsied body, the legs are injected first to observe tissue reaction to the chemical used. -
perfect answersT
Senile purpura is brought about by the fragility of the capillaries. - perfect answersT
Organ transplantation would NOT include: - perfect answersBone
Regarding organ/tissue donation and transplantation: If the procurement technician is not careful when
removing the proximal humerus and scapula, what vessels would most likely be severed, causing
obvious problems for the embalmer? - perfect answersaxillary and brachial arteries
Ideally, while you are injecting the autopsied body, you should let the drainage sit in the cavity for as
long as possible, to allow any formaldehyde to preserve the trunk. - perfect answersF
Probably the most dramatic of all tissue recovery cases, and the most time-consuming for the
embalmer: - perfect answersLong Bone Donor
To embalm the legs of a heart/lung donor: - perfect answersuse the femoral arteries
Which of the following are factors determined in the embalming analysis? - perfect answersall but one
of the above
Artificial device used to replace a limb, appendage, or other body part: - perfect answersprothesis
You should use the same volume and strength of arterial solution on each part of the autopsied body
you are injecting. - perfect answersF
