Embalming 3 assessment 4
In these types of burns, embalming treatment is usually based on the cause of death; the discoloration from the burn can be covered with cosmetics:
1st degree
In these types of burns, the heat stiffening of muscles can occur:
3rd
A broken bone is more serious than a fracture
F
A clot brought by the blood from another vessel and forced into a smaller one, causing an obstruction, is called a thrombocyte.
F
A compound fracture is also known as a closed fracture.
F
A hypotonic arterial solution is a solution having a lesser concentration of dissolved solute than solvent.
F
An arterial tube that allows the embalmer to inject both legs or both arms or both sides of the head of the autopsied body at the same time is called a separator.
F
Dialysis is the passage of solvent from a solution of lesser to one of greater solute concentrations when the two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane
F
Hydro-pulmonary effusion is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the thoracic cavity.
F
Hydrocele is the accumulation of serous fluids in the peritoneal cavity.
F
Occlusions are extravascular resistances to arterial solution.
F
Pathological discolorations are postmortem discolorations that occur as the result of certain diseases.
F
Permission from family is usually required for manual aids.
F
Petechia are postmortem, pinpoint, extravascular blood discoloration visible as purplish hemorrhages of the skin.
F
The extravascular color change that occurs when heme, released by hemolysis of red blood cells, seeps through the vessel walls and into the body tissues, is livor mortis
F
The opening of a vein, artery, or intestine is called a cavitation.
F
Varices in the area of the rectum and anal canal are usually referred to as varicose veins.
F
Vasoconstriction is a state of increase in the diameter of blood vessels.
F
A clot brought by the blood from another vessel and forced into a smaller one, causing an obstruction, is called an embolus
T
A compound fracture is also known as an open fracture.
T
A hypertonic arterial solution is a solution having a greater concentration of dissolved solute than the solution to which it is compared.
T
A partial autopsy is one in which only one body cavity is opened to examine one specific item.
T
A simple fracture is also known as a closed fracture.
T
A swelling or mass of clotted blood confined to an organ or space caused by a ruptured blood vessel is a hematoma.
T
An inversion suture used to gather in and turn under excess tissues, excellent for closing a carotid incision or closing the scalp in the cranial autopsy, is the worm suture
T
Another name for the coroner/medical examiner autopsy is forensic autopsy
T
Desiccation is a state of extreme dryness
T
If a vascular problem causes increased capillary permeability, there is always the possibility of distention (swelling) when injecting arterial solution.
T
If edema is present, you should not use a pre-injection solution.
T
Occlusions are blockages within the vascular system that may restrict the flow of arterial solution into a body region or may restrict drainage through a vein.
T
One of the problems with compound fractures is that the broken bone can lacerate blood vessels in the area and therefore you may not get good distribution in the areas beyond the fracture.
T
One of the problems with simple fractures is that the broken bone can lacerate blood vessels in the area and therefore you may not get good distribution in the areas beyond the fracture.
T
Razor burn is an abrasion resulting from scraping the skin while shaving and exposure to air, which turns it dark brown
T
Stenosis is the narrowing or contraction of a body passage or opening
T
Surface embalming is defined as the direct contact of body tissues with embalming chemicals.
T
The calverium is the the dome-like superior portion of the cranium that is removed during a cranial autopsy.
T
The dilatation or pouching of veins is known as varicose veins.
T
The marbling of veins refers to a greenish-black coloration along the veins produced by hemolysis of blood in the vessels (or hemoblogin mixed with hydrogen sulfide).
T
The opening of a vein, artery, or intestine is called a lumen.
T
Varices in the area of the rectum and anal canal are usually referred to as hemorrhoids.
T
An operative aid is:
an invasive treatment or procedure
With a _____ fracture, the bone has fragmented into several pieces.
comminuted
With a _____ fracture, the broken bone comes through the skin.
compound
If a body has edema, you would characterize it as:
edematous
When an embalmer refers to working on a "post" she usually means:
embalming an autopsied body
Inflammation of the inner lining of the heart:
endocarditis
Characterized by a rupture or rash; scaling skin
exanthematous
Grey discoloration of the body caused by the reaction of formaldehyde from the embalming process with hemoglobin to form methylhemoglobin.
formaldehyde gray
Treatment of these cases would most likely involve normal arterial embalming, but special care, such as aspiration and cavity fluid injection, would be given to the cranial cavity:
hydrocephalus
The area of necrotic tissue which occurs in a heart attack is properly called a(n):
infarct
The application of treatments or procedures that utilize machines or instruments:
mechanical aid
The death of heart tissue due to a lack of blood supply (and the scientific name for a heart attack):
myocardial infarction
Inflammation of the heart muscle:
myocarditis
Another name for autopsy, but often used in reference to animal autopsies:
necropsy
Inflammation of the outer sac around the heart
pericarditis
An artificial extension that replaces a missing body part
prosthesis
Broken bones are also known as fractures
t
Occlusions are intravascular resistances to arterial solution.
t
Sections of the spinal column are called:
vertebral bodies
