increase the strength of the arterial solution
A common pathological change that occurs as a result of diabetes mellitus: - correct
answers poor peripheral circulation
Preinjection fluid is a chemical with very little or no preservative - correct answers True
f senile purpura is seen over the hands and arms of the deceased, a slow rate of flow is
recommended. Why? - correct answers To prevent the possible further rupture of fragile
capillaries
Which of the following is not a factor determined in the embalming analysis? - correct
answers amount of hypodermic tissue building
On the unautopsied infant, the common carotid artery is the largest of the non-aortic
vessels - correct answers True
At birth, body water is approximately 50% of total body weight - correct answers False
Mouth closure and lip closure describe the same thing - correct answers F
The biggest problem with mouth closure in the elderly is: - correct answers atrophy of
the maxillae and mandible
In the autopsied body, the trunk should be injected first to observe tissue reaction to the
chemical used - correct answers False
The recommended vessels for embalming the unautopsied infant include the common
carotid artery, the femoral artery, the abdominal aorta, and the ascending aorta. -
correct answers T
Eyecaps should never be used on infants. - correct answers F
The viscera of the autopsied infant should be treated with undiluted cavity fluid. - correct
answers T
, Infant skin can easily distend and wrinkle upon injection of arterial solution. - correct
answers T
Preservative demand is defined as the number of grams of pure formaldehyde gas
dissolved in 100 milliliters of water. - correct answers F
The discolorations known as senile purpura can be removed by arterial injection/venous
drainage. - correct answers F
Infants should always be embalmed with dilute, low-index solutions. - correct answers F
At 1 year of age, body water is about the same as the adult level of 60% of total body
weight. - correct answers T
At 1 year of age, body water is about the same as the adult level of 50% of total body
weight. - correct answers F
A coinjection fluid is used to enhance the action of the preservative solution - correct
answers T
At 1 year of age, body water is about the same as the adult level of 70% of total body
weight. - correct answers F
The vessels on the 4-to-12-year-old child should be larger than an infant s but smaller
than an adult s. - correct answers T
In the autopsied body, the legs are injected first to observe tissue reaction to the
chemical used. - correct answers T
Senile purpura is brought about by the fragility of the capillaries. - correct answers T
Organ transplantation would NOT include: - correct answers Bone
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? - correct answers
axillary 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. - correct
answers F
Probably the most dramatic of all tissue recovery cases, and the most time-consuming
for the embalmer: - correct answers Long Bone Donor
To embalm the legs of a heart/lung donor: - correct answers use the femoral arteries
