Describe the process of restricted cervical injection - (answer)1. Raise the right carotid artery and insert
two tubes: one facing the trunk and the other facing the head
2. Drain blood from the jugular vein
3. Raise the left carotid artery and insert a tube facing toward the head, tie off other end of artery
4. Inject trunk first, allowing open tubes facing head to release excess fluid
5. Inject the left side of the head
6. Inject the right side of the head
What is instant tissue fixation and what types of cases require it? - (answer)1. Instant tissue fixation is a
method of arterial injection in which strong solution under high pressure is injected in a burst-
suppression pattern, creating firming without swelling
2. Early decomposition when facial swelling is anticipated, facial trauma, when facial tissues must be dry
and firm for restoration, when facial excisions are necessary, re-embalming
Provide examples of extravascular resistance: - (answer)Rigor mortis, gas in the cavities, expansion of
hollow viscera during injection, tumors and swollen lymph nodes, ascites and hydrothorax, contact
pressure, visceral weight, bandages, skeletal edema, inflammation
Why do we inject arteries instead of veins? - (answer)Veins have internal valves that prevent the
backflow of blood, preventing arterial fluid from circulating
Where is the heart located? - (answer)In the thoracic cavity, between the lungs in the middle of the
chest
Characteristics of the different types of purge - (answer)1. Stomach: brown, resembles coffee grounds,
foul odor
2. Lung: frothy, light pink/red, no odor
3. Esophageal varices: bloody liquid
4. Brain: white semisolid
5. Anal: semisolid/liquid

6. Embalming solution: arterial fluid
7. Cavity fluid: cavity fluid, blood
How do we aspirate the brain? - (answer)By inserting a trocar through the cribriform plate of the
ethmoid bone by way of the left or right nostril
Which medical devices must be removed for cremation? - (answer)Pacemakers and other radioactive
devices
Describe the different plastic garments - (answer)Pants: covers torso from the lower abdomen to the
upper thigh
Coveralls: covers the trunk from armpit to upper thigh
Stockings: covers entire leg to feet
Sleeves: covers arm to wrist
Shirt jacket: covers upper torso from neck to waist, and arms
Capri pants: covers lower abdomen to feet
Unionall: covers entire body besides head, neck, and hands
What types of sutures work best for different scenarios? - (answer)Baseball: lengthy incisions
Inversion, worm: cranial autopsy
Continuous, whip: temporarily close lengthy incisions
Solid edema - (answer)Located within the body cells, must be excised
Pitting edema - (answer)In tissue spaces between cells, treated with strong arterial solution
Anasarca - (answer)Generalized edema in all body tissues, gravitated, punctured and drained, strong
arterial solution
