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.
