Principles of Embalming III - PHT 414 Week 1

removal of the eyeball is often referred to as

Eye enucleation

which of the following are factors determined in the embalming analysis injection pressure and rate of flow amount of hypodermic tissue building method of mouth closure strength and volume of embalming solution vessels for injection and drainage only two of the above all but one of the above

all but one of the above

which of the following is not a factor determined in the embalming analysis

amount of hypodermic tissue buiding

considered the most secure and the most commonly used this airtight suture is often used for closing the long incisions on the autopsied body

baseball suture

according to your text, vessel selection for the unautopsied infant would include which four of the following vessels: ______, _______, ________, ________,

common carotid artery, femoral artery, abdominal aorta, ascending aorta

an instrument used to peel or shave very thin layer of skin donation

dermatome

delays in embalming increase the likelihood of _____ during arterial injection

distension

the most common problem in the aftermath of an eye enucleation is

distension in and around the orbital cavity

arterioscierotic arteries are only encountered in the elderly

false

at 1 year of age body water is about the same as the adult level of 50% of total body weight

false

eyecaps should never be used on infants

false

if the mandible or maxilla of an elderly person have atrophied, it would be best to use the needle injector as the method of mouth closure

false

in general if a case is reported to the medical examiner an autopsy must be performed

false

in the autoposied body the trunk should be injected first to observe tissue reaction to the chemical used

false

removing the cornea from the organ donor is called eye enucleation

false

special high index arterial fluids should never be used on children

false

the discoloration known as senile purpura can be removed by arterial injection/venous drainage

false

the embalmer is required to return viscera to the trunk of the body prior to suturing it closed

false

the needle injector is the best method to use to close the mouth of infant

false

the recommended vessels for embalming the unautopsied infant include the common carotid artery, the femoral artery, and the axillary artery

false

you should use a regular trocar to aspirate the infant

false

if senile purpura is seen over the hands and arms of the deceased, which of the following statements would be true about your arterial solution

increase the strength of the arterial solution

the vessels of the legs are sclerotic and injection of the lower of the lower arteries has proven to be impossible. which of the following should you do

inject the leg hypodermically [using an infant trocar or hypovalve trocar0 with a preservative

which of the following vessels should be clamped when injecting the head using the common carotid arteries

internal carotid arteries

probably the most dramatic of all tissue recovery cases and the most time-consuming for the embalmer

long bone donor

Any part of the body exercising a specific functions, such as respiration, secretion, or digestion.

organ

viscera from the autopsied body

should be treated with a minimum of two bottles of undiluted cavity fluid.

select all that apply. When injecting using a higher pressure and/or rate of flow, which of the following are possible complications that could arise

swelling [distension] loosing coagula in arteries which then block smaller arterial branches

regarding skin donors: think about the areas from which skin is most often removed. The recovery of skin from the dead human body presents three major problems from the embalmer. Which of the following is not one of those problems

swelling of tissues accompanied by mild jaundice

a collection of similar cells and the intercellular substances surrounding them

tissue

a purpose of co-injection chemicals is to control the harsh reactions of preservatives

true

at birth body fat is approximately 12% of total body weight

true

at birth body water is approximately 75% of total body weight

true

in the elderly conditions like hypertension uremia, vitamin deficiencies, thin skin can easily bring about senile purpura

true

infant skin can easily distend and wrinkle upon injection of arterial solution

true

it is not necessary to use drainage device [drain tubes, spring forceps] on the autopsied body

true

rate of flow is a measure of how fast or in what volume the arterial fluid enters the body during injection

true

regular arterial solution not pre-injection solution along with supplemental fluids should be used to embalm an infant

true

the embalmer should not use preinjection fluid as preservative solution for embalming infants because the infants body may have a high preservative demand

true

the problem with using the axillary artery to inject the arm of the autopsied body is that the shoulder, the upper portions of the back, and the deep muscles of the neck do not receive arterial solution distribution

true

the recommended vessels for embalming the unautopsied infant included the common carotid artery, the femoral artery, the abdominal aorta and the ascending aorta

true

the vessels on the 4 to 12 year old child should be larger than an infants but smaller than an adults

true

the viscera of the autopsied infant should be treated with undiluted cavity fluid

true

when a cranial autopsy has been performed the left side of the head should be injected first since certain amount of fluid will flow into the right side by anastomosis

true

when suturing the scalp you should begin sutures on the right side of the head and end them on the left side

true

If the eye has been enucleated, which of the following is recommended as one way to help control the swelling of eyelids during embalming:

use restricted cervical injection

which of the following would not apply to the autopsied body

using the trocar for aspiration and cavity fluid injection

when removing the spinal column, the ____ approach involves opening the vertebral column from within the body cavities and cervical area

ventral

which of the following vessels should be clamped when a complete autopsy [head and trunk] has been done and you are injecting the arms using the subclavian arteries

vertebral arteries

Recovery of these involves removing sections of the spinal column:

vertebral bodies
