Down: 1) 32 degrees3) 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.4) greek for corpse6) Self-destruction of the cells7) 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.8) The breakdown for carbohydrates and glucose. (no effect on embalming)9) Relaxation of the muscles immediately after death17) 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.19) Sudden involuntary movement or convulsion brought about by involuntary muscular contractions that may be associated with rigor mortis.20) Gas in the viscera occurs during general decomposition and begins in the stomach or intestines(pm flatulence)25) greek for dung26) An organelle that exists within a cell,(but separate from the cell) that contains hydrolytic enzymes that break down proteins and certain carbohydrates.27) Intestinal gas that is actually odorless35) Generally caused by the decomp. of proteins(proteolysis) which will create amines, ptomaine's, mercaptan, and hydrogen sulfide. Across: 2) Bacteria that derive their nutrients from dead organic matter5) 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-organisms10) 98 to 100 degrees11) Indole, skatole, cadaverine, putrescine(they stink). A basic nitrogenous organic compound produced by bacterial putrefaction of protein. Amines that are considered derivatives of ammonia.12) 120 degrees13) The destruction of sugars by hydrolysis. (no effect on embalming)14) Areas where blood movement or gravitation has been inhibited due to contact with the surface upon which the body rests15) Is the settling of blood or other fluids to dependent areas of the body. Means less than normal and static, lack of movement.16) Gas gangrene caused by clostridium perfringens (am or pm)18) When rigor passes naturally from the un-embalmed body.21) 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.22) Increase perservative demand and often associated with renal(kidney) failure.23) Ammonia, ammonium compounds, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, mercaptan, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water, methane, phosphoric acid, and sulfuric acid.24) Is thought to be composed of fatty acids and appears in bodies that have been dead for an extended period.28) Flex, Bend, Rotate, Extend, Massage. Once broken does not return.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.30) 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.31) 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.32) The ability of cells to draw moisture from the surrounding areas into themselves, this may cause postmortem edema.33) 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 9.034) 128 degrees36) An increase in the amount of moisture or fluids in the tissues and body cavities due to disease or agonal capillary expansion.37) Things that are caused by factors outside the body38) 1st-The lining membrane of the trachea and larynx.(Except for the brain of an infant and the pregnant uterus.) 2nd-The non-pregnant uterus or large blood vessels in the male and female.
