-intermittent
-concurrent (continuous)
Alternate Drainage - Answer--most efficient (final result is a better embalmed body)
-most time consuming
-arterial solution is not injected while draining
Intermittent Drainage - Answer--continuous injection of arterial solution with drainage taken at intervals
-compromise option
Concurrent (Continuous) Drainage - Answer--most common and quickest but least efficient
-injection and drainage done at the same time throughout
-drainage is never restricted
Direct Heart Drainage (aka Heart Tap) - Answer--recommended only when vein cannot be used for

, -done wrong will lead to multi-point
Preinjection - Answer--one way to improve drainage

Rectal Purge - Answer-feces escaping from rectum
Vascular (False) Purge - Answer-Color and consistency similar to art

Purge Treatment Prior to Embalming - Answer--massage cream over areas where purge material flows
to minimize burning
-nasal tube aspiration
-reduce gas pressure in abdomen (small hole w/ scalpel)
Purge Treatment During Embalming - Answer--let it happen
-if vascular, there may be a break in the vascular system which may require further treatment (hypo,
multipoint etc)
Purge Treatment After Arterial and Cavity Embalming - Answer--nasal tube aspirator
