Embalming Chapter#9: Embalming Vessel Sites &
Selections Questions with Correct Answers
*One-Point Injection* Correct Answer--An artery and a vein at 1
location are used for injection and drainage.
*Split Injection* Correct Answer--Injection is made in an artery at 1
location and the drainage occurs from a vein in another location.
*Restricted Cervical Injection* Correct Answer--Both right and left
common arteries are raised; tubes are placed into each of the arteries and
directed toward the head.
-A tube inserted toward the trunk of the body, either in the right or the
left artery. The inferior portion of the other artery is tied off.
-Drainage is generally taken from the right internal jugular vein.
*Multipoint Injection* Correct Answer--Is a vascular injection from 2 or
more arteries.
*6-Point Injection* Correct Answer-*Unautopsied*-6 arteries are raised
that will separately inject the head and limbs.
*Autopsied*-6 point injection of the right and left common carotid
arteries to embalm head, right and left subclavian (axillary and brachial)
,arteries to embalm the upper extremity, and right and left common iliac
(external iliac or femoral) arteries to embalm the lower extremity.*
Vessel Selection in an Unautopsied Body* Correct Answer--The
common carotid, femoral and axillary arteries. Because of the value of
using an accompanying vein for drainage, the femoral and common
carotid vessels are preferred to the axillary artery.
*selection of injection site and vascular injection procedure involve 2
criteria:* Correct Answer-1. factors concerning the vessels and
2. general body conditions.
*Situations in which it may be necessary to locate severed or cut
portions of arteries to inject arterial solution include:* Correct Answer-
1. bodies where extensive autopsies have been performed.
2. bodies where partial autopsies have been performed,
3. bodies from which one or more organs and or tissues for
transplantation have been removed, and
4. bodies with traumatic injuries.
, Nerves Correct Answer-have silvery appearance ,show striations along
their surface. When cut, they have no lumen their cut edges take on a
frayed appearance to that of a frayed rope.
Veins Correct Answer-Thinner than arteries, contain valves, which
arteries do not, bluish in color when cut they have alumen. when their
sides are cut, ceins collapse creating a funnel effect.
*Arteries* Correct Answer-have very thick walls compared to veins.
Creamy white in appearance have vasa vasorum (small vessels) over
artery surface. when cut the lumen remains open and very pronounced.
*Sizes of arteries* Correct Answer--common carotid aretery is the
largest, because it is nearest to the heart.. The femoral (external iliac) is
second in size and axillary artery is the smallest in diametery.
*factors used in selection of an artery* Correct Answer--age of body,
-weight of body,
-drainage,
-disease conditions,
-clotting,
-facial tissue distention,
-facial discolorations,
-volume and strength of arterial solutions
-medicolegal requirements.
