Study Notes

Embalming and Anatomical Terms

Egyptians used natron solution for the immersion of bodies as part of their embalming process.
The brachial artery originates from the axillary artery.
The femoral artery is medially bordered by the adductor longus muscle.
Carbon monoxide poisoning leads to cherry red discoloration of the skin.
The ulnar artery is positioned along the lateral border of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle.
Rigor mortis affects the pressure needed for arterial fluid injection.
Restoration in embalming refers to recreating the deceased’s natural form and color.

Techniques and Procedures

Direct incision is the cavity treatment method involving a cut from the xiphoid process to the pubic symphysis.
Formaldehyde (CH₂O) causes protein coagulation, crucial for preserving body tissues.
Movement of embalming solutions through the vascular system is termed distribution.
Gravity embalming achieves a pressure of 0.43 lbs/ft.

Autopsy and Case Analysis

A cranial-only autopsy involves examining the brain post mortem.
An intrinsic factor in case analysis includes the cause of death.

Chemicals and Compounds

Hardening compounds do not contain phenol as a component.
Lung purge is characterized by a frothy white or pink color.
Paraformaldehyde is the primary disinfectant and preservative in hardening compounds.

Blood and Discoloration

The anterior tibial artery extends from the lateral border of the patella to the ankle.
Hypostasis of blood is not a sign of decomposition; it refers to the settling of blood post mortem.
Hemoglobin decomposition leads to post-mortem extravascular blood discoloration.
Jaundice first manifests in the sclera of the eyes on a deceased body.

Surgical Instruments and Techniques

A bistoury is a one-piece scalpel used for incisions and excisions in embalming.
Intradermal stitch is ideal for suturing exposed skin areas.
The baseball stitch starts within the incision, crossing from one side to the other for closure.

Additional Biological Concepts

Arteriosclerosis can complicate embalming if an aneurysm ruptures, allowing fluid injection to escape.
A cadaver refers to a dead human body used for anatomical and scientific study.
Desquamation is the separation of the dermis and epidermis post mortem.
The common carotid artery is located in the neck.
Postmortem caloricity is an example of a pre-embalming chemical change.
Index measures the strength of embalming fluid based on formaldehyde percentage.
