HOSA Forensic Medicine Basic Study Sheet Qualifying Test Already Passed

HOSA Forensic Medicine Basic Study Sheet Qualifying Test Already Passed 2 areas in Forensic Toxicology is employed 1) Postmortem drug testing 2) workplace drug testing 2 methods in estimating time elapsed since death using entomology 1) Development of blow flies over time- few hours to several weeks. 2)successional colonization of the body by a sequence of carrion insects- any time after death 2 reasons blow flies are attached to flesh 1) looking for a protein meal to allow their genitalia to develop 2) Mainly mature females are attracted because they are looking for a suitable place to lay their eggs. 3 tasks of the forensic anthropologist 1) identifying the victim and providing a biological profile 2) a taphonomic assessment 3) providing data regarding the death event, including evidence of trauma at perimortem period 4 goals of death investigation 1) determine cause 2) determine manner 3) determine mechanism 4) determine time of death The 4 major tasks when documenting a crime scene 1)note taking 2)videography 3)photography 4)sketching; all 4 are necessary and non is an adequate substitute for another 4 types of traumatic deaths 1) mechanical 2) thermal 3) chemical 4) electrical 5 things to be included in the forensic anthropology report 1) Chain of Custody 2) Tamphonomic assessment 3) Biological Profile 4) Identification characteristics and interpretation 5) Description of trauma 5 types of traumatic deaths 1) Mechanical 2) Chemical 3) Thermal 4) Electrical 5) Asphyxial (MACET) 1892 When the first criminal fingerprint identification was made AAS atomic absorption spectroscopy; technique for metal analysis utilizing the reduction of a metal in a solution to an atom, usually by a flame ABO a basic classification system for blood types based upon the reaction of antigens and antibodies. ABO blood groups Human antigenic system designating the blood groups A, B, AB, and O. Abrasion a scraping type of wound accidental death Death occurs due to an injury or poisoning that was unintentional. According to the model of forensic nursing, what are the three sources for the knowledge base of forensic nursing? 1) Nursing Science 2) Forensic Science 3) Criminal Justice Accuracy ability of a measurement to match the value of the quantity measured; correctness Adipocere Waxy fat; happens with bodies under water ADME Abbreviation for the stages that describes how a drug moves through the body. Absorption Distribution Metabolism Excretion AFIS Automated Fingerprint Identification System Albert Osborn Developed the fundamental principles of document examination Alec Jeffreys Geneticists that developed DNA testing Algor Mortis Cooling of the body that occurs during death. This obviously varies greatly; normal temperature is approximately 98.6° and this is maintained one to three hours after death then the body begins to cool at a rate of approximately 1.5°C per hour Alkaloid Examples are cocaine, nicotine, strychnine, caffeine, and morphine. All of the following are types of strangulation except ? Lynching Alphonse Bertillon Devised the first scientific system of personal identification 1879 Amphetamine Controlled substance along with its analogs, such as methamphetamine that creates a state of wakefulness, euphoria, and excitatory condition (stimulation) Amylases Enzymes found primarily in saliva Analgesics Drugs that relieve pain Anatomic pathology Analysis of tissue samples aneurysm Weakening of the wall of an artery Angle of impact 90° - the resulting bloodstain will be circular in shape; less than 90° - create an elliptical bloodstain anoxia Without oxygen Antemortem before death antemortem trauma injury to a body that occurs during life. anthropologist can determine this by the presence of scars or callus at the site of fractures Anteroposterior compression fractures of hyoid is seen in? Hanging Anthropometry the study of human body measurements. the word is derived from the Greek anthropos, meaning man. Antigens Foreign substances in the body that are capable of causing disease. The presence of antigens triggers an immune response usually the production of antibodies. Arch Least common and simplest fingerprint pattern. They have no delta or core. All ridges enter one side and exit the other arson The intentional and unlawful burning of a building or other property arteriosclerosis hardening of the arteries Asphyxia death with black colored mucosa of stomach is seen in poisoning with? Carbon monoxide association evidence establishes a relationship between objects. ex-glass, hairs, bullets, fingerprints Asystole Condition in which the heart stops beating Autolysis Self loosen; occurs inside the body and affects internal organs, including the brain; Breakdown of organs in a dead body Benzidine A raegent that was once widely used in a presumptive test for blood. No longer used because it is carcinogen.
