Auguste Renouard - Answer Wrote the first embalming textbook in the United States
restoration - Answer The preparation of the decedent by attempting to return natural form

,embalming - Answer The treatment of the dead human body with chemicals to reduce the

Disagree - Answer Proteins are the first biochemical to undergo decomposition in the
dead human body. Their decomposition is what contributes to the awful smell, the
bloating, the color changes that accompany death. Therefore, the reason why it is
recommended that a body is embalmed as soon as possible after death is that we want to

Disagree - Answer Carbohydrates are the first biochemical to undergo decomposition in
the dead human body. Their decomposition is what contributes to the awful smell, the
bloating, the color changes that accompany death. Therefore, the reason why it is
recommended that a body be embalmed as soon as possible after death is that we want
to stop the breakdown of the carbohydrates. Proteins are important, with their enzymes
