They revolve around the nucleus and are negatively charged particles that travel in concentric paths.
What is an electron?
100
This has three elements: a generator, an active electrode, and avgrounding pad.
What is a monopolar ESU?
100
This causes the cellular water content to convert to steam, causing it to rupture from the pressure.
What is absorption?
100
These are robots that are simple mechanical arms without artificial intelligence.
What are first generation robots?
100
This allows the surgical tech to have all the supplies, instruments, and equipment needed for a surgery that a particular surgeon does.
What is the surgeon's preference card?
200
Material that inhibits the flow of electrons.
What is an insulator?
200
This type of electrosurgery can only coagulate tissue, not cut.
What is bipolar electrosurgery?
200
This is the most commonly used laser in surgery, it is located in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is the CO2 laser?
200
The extent to which the robot can differentiate between two objects.
What is resolution?
200
This is created when a conductor is wrapped around a metal and current is passed through.
What is an electromagnet?
300
This is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
What is a generator?
300
This device uses ultrasonic energy to cut and coagulate tissue.
What is the harmonic scalpel?
300
This laser discharges a pulsed beam and is used mainly in orthopedic procedures.
What is the Holmium YAG laser?
300
The ability of humans and robots to determine the direction from which a sound is coming.
What is binaural hearing?
300
Electrical current that flows in one direction, then reverses the direction and is measured in hertz.
What is Alternating Current?
400
This is a device that transforms electrical energy into a useful function (heat or light).
What is the load?
400
This is a gas that is heavier than air and can be used to enhance the effectiveness of the electrosurgical current.
What is Argon gas?
400
Because this laser uses toxic gases which are fatal and the potential harm from the ultraviolet color it produces, this laser is not used in Healthcare setting.
What is the Excimer Laser?
400
This system is used to graph mathematical functions, with the axis always perpendicular to each other (also called rectangular coordinate geometry)
What is Cartesian coordinate geometry?
400
This is the rate at which work is done and is measured in watts.
