Down: 1) Areas where blood movement or gravitation has been inhibited due to contact with the surface upon which the body rests2) Refers to the thickness of the blood(not clotting). Blood cells stick together. Sludge or Agglutination.3) Increase perservative demand and often associated with renal(kidney) failure.4) The smell of rotten eggs6) Soft tissues, firm tissues, hard, tissues8) 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 9.09) 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.10) greek for dung13) Is the settling of blood or other fluids to dependent areas of the body. Means less than normal and static, lack of movement.16) The destruction of sugars by hydrolysis. (no effect on embalming)19) An increase in the amount of moisture or fluids in the tissues and body cavities due to disease or agonal capillary expansion.22) Generally caused by the decomp. of proteins(proteolysis) which will create amines, ptomaine's, mercaptan, and hydrogen sulfide.24) 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.25) 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) 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.32) Gas in the viscera occurs during general decomposition and begins in the stomach or intestines(pm flatulence) Across: 5) A decrease in the amount of moisture or fluids in the tissues and body cavities due to dietary or intestinal problems and febrile issues.7) Gas gangrene caused by clostridium perfringens (am or pm)11) Things that are caused by factors outside the body12) Bacteria that derive their nutrients from dead organic matter14) Flex, Bend, Rotate, Extend, Massage. Once broken does not return.15) Is thought to be composed of fatty acids and appears in bodies that have been dead for an extended period.17) Carbohydrates, soft proteins, fats, hard proteins, bones.18) A postmortem intravascular discoloration as a result of hypostasis. The extent depends upon blood volume and blood viscosity.20) 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.21) Ammonia, ammonium compounds, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, mercaptan, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water, methane, phosphoric acid, and sulfuric acid.23) Intestinal gas that is actually odorless26) The breakdown for carbohydrates and glucose. (no effect on embalming)27) 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-organisms28) An organelle that exists within a cell,(but separate from the cell) that contains hydrolytic enzymes that break down proteins and certain carbohydrates.30) Sudden involuntary movement or convulsion brought about by involuntary muscular contractions that may be associated with rigor mortis.31) Indole, skatole, cadaverine, putrescine(they stink). A basic nitrogenous organic compound produced by bacterial putrefaction of protein. Amines that are considered derivatives of ammonia.33) greek for corpse34) These can be exacerbated by the time between death and embalming. The embalming process will retard, interrupt, or reverse these changes.35) When rigor passes naturally from the un-embalmed body.36) 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.37) The ability of cells to draw moisture from the surrounding areas into themselves, this may cause postmortem edema.38) Self-destruction of the cells39) Things that are caused by factors inside the body
