bridge

this modifying agent can neutralize acids and bases

buffer

embalmers should decide which embalming chemicals to use for a particular case based upon the

case analysis

embalming fluids designed to be used undiluted are

cavity fluids

withdrawal of gas, fluids and semisolids from body cavities and hollow viscera by means of suction is

cavity treatment

the cross linkage of peptide bonds results in

coagulation of proteins and firm tissue

jaundice fluids may contain counter staining agents which are designed to

cover internal discolorations

to aspirate the cavity, the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone must be punctured

cranial

which of the following do not typically receive attention in cavity treatment unless there is a problem

cranium and scrotum

HCHO donor compounds are used to

create low fuming fluids

this anatomical structure separates the thoracic region from the abdominal region

diaphragm

when cavity treatment is performed using an incision on the abdomen it is called the

direct incision method

QUATS are primarily used for their blank qualities

disinfecting and deodorizing

in order to enhance the cosmetic effect, the embalmer could select and arterial embalming fluid that contains

eosin, erythrosine, and ponceau

the stomach may be found in this abdominal region

epigastric

the following structures are found in the thoracic cavity

esophagus, heart, lungs, trachea

arterial preservatives reverse decomposition

false

this organ should be aspirated first because it contains the center of drainage

heart

sorbitol is a

humectant

this fluid increases the capability of embalmed tissue to retain moisture

humectant

glycols are examples of

humectants

this type of aspirator is installed on a cold water line

hydroaspirator

a distended urinary bladder is found in this region of the abdomen

hypogastric

arterial preservatives blank saprophytic bacteria

inactivate

as the blood and tissue of the body become more alkaline the HCHO demand

increases

the amount of HCHO gas in a fluid or solution is called the

index

cavity treatment is a two step process. what are the two steps

injection of cavity fluid, aspiration of gas, fluids and semisolids from the body cavities

during aspiration, the embalmer would expect to remove semi-solids from

intestines

preservative powder

the function of an arterial preservative chemical can be

preservative, disinfection, anticoagulation, and restoration

paradichlorobenzene is included in some embalming powders to

preserve and disinfect

the dilution that is attained as the embalming solution is mixed in the embalming machine is called the

primary dilution

amino acids can be preserved or cross linked by HCHO because they are the building blocks of

proteins
