Down: 2) Cells, Tissues, Organs4) The movement of micro-organisms from one area of the body to another, the movement may be cause by: natural motility, circulation of the blood, or gravitation5) This does not create chemical changes or chemical by-products but is brought about by forces of nature: gravity, hypostasis, livor mortis, dehydration, increased blood viscosity, and endogenous invasion of micro-organisms6) Destruction of the cells by water. The single most important factor in the initiation of decomposition and the first chemical reaction in the putrefactive process.7) Flex, Bend, Rotate, Extend, Massage. Once broken does not return.8) Indole, skatole, cadaverine, putrescine(they stink). A basic nitrogenous organic compound produced by bacterial putrefaction of protein. Amines that are considered derivatives of ammonia.10) An organelle that exists within a cell,(but separate from the cell) that contains hydrolytic enzymes that break down proteins and certain carbohydrates.12) Caused by fluids moving into dependent(lower)areas of the body, tissue can become engorged and distended.13) A reddish extravascular discoloration brought about by hemolysis of blood cells that begins 6 to 10 hours after death. Hemolysis releases hemoglobin. A single red blood cell contains several million hemoglobin molecules.14) Gas in the viscera occurs during general decomposition and begins in the stomach or intestines(pm flatulence)16) When rigor passes naturally from the un-embalmed body.17) Normal Ph for a living body is 7.4. After death is becomes acidic, about 6.0 and remains acidic during rigor mortis. After rigor passes and decomp. begins it becomes alkaline, *8.0 to 9.021) The postmortem stiffening of the muscles by natural processes that results in the muscles inability to re-synthesize adenosine triphosphate(atp). Once passed does not reoccur.24) Intestinal gas that is actually odorless25) Areas where blood movement or gravitation has been inhibited due to contact with the surface upon which the body rests28) Generally caused by the decomp. of proteins(proteolysis) which will create amines, ptomaine's, mercaptan, and hydrogen sulfide. Across: 1) greek for dung3) greek for corpse5) Relaxation of the muscles immediately after death9) Proteins(not all protein is liquid, consider the protein in hair and nails), Carbohydrates, Lipids11) Is thought to be composed of fatty acids and appears in bodies that have been dead for an extended period.15) Sudden involuntary movement or convulsion brought about by involuntary muscular contractions that may be associated with rigor mortis.18) Gas gangrene caused by clostridium perfringens (am or pm)19) The ability of cells to draw moisture from the surrounding areas into themselves, this may cause postmortem edema.20) An increase in the amount of moisture or fluids in the tissues and body cavities due to disease or agonal capillary expansion.22) Post mortem stain(hemolysis). Marbling of the superficial veins(arteries are generally opaque, veins are generally transparent). Greenish color on the lower right quadrant of the abdomen caused by hydrogen sulfide(a product of decomp.) and hemoglobin.23) The living body uses perspiration, respiration, and blood circulation to regulate temperature but these are not available to the dead human body so sometimes the continuation of metabolism after death will create heat or a rise in body temperature.26) 120 degrees27) The outer layers of the skin weaken because the deeper layers of the skin begin to decompose. Hydrolysis of collagen and elastin cause superficial skin layers to pull away. Blisters may form.29) Is the settling of blood or other fluids to dependent areas of the body. Means less than normal and static, lack of movement.30) the process of soap formation. As related to decomp., the conversion of fatty tissues of the body into a soapy, waxy, substance called adipocere or grave wax.31) Self-destruction of the cells32) 128 degrees33) (Dis)coloration, odor, skin slip(desquamation), gas formation, purge.34) 98 to 100 degrees35) Technically not a clot. the formed elements of the blood stick together causing poor drainage. Poor drainage will cause formaldehyde gray.36) 32 degrees
