ANSWERS 2025 latest update!!
Agonal Algor - CORRECT ANSWERS Decrease in body temperature
immediately before death. Caused by decreased circulation, the larger the body the
slower it cools
Agonal Fever - CORRECT ANSWERS Increase in body temperature
immediately before death. Caused by full stomach or ambient air temperature.
Hypostasis - CORRECT ANSWERS settling of blood and/or other fluids to
dependent portions of the body. Blood pooling by gravity
Congealing/Coagulation - CORRECT ANSWERS the process of converting
soluble protein to insoluble protein by heating or contact with a chemical such as an
alcohol or an aldehyde. The solidification of a solution into a gelatinous mass.
Agglutination Intravascular - CORRECT ANSWERS the increase of viscosity
of blood brings about clumping of the formed elements in the blood in the blood vessels
Edema - CORRECT ANSWERS abnormal accumulation of fluids in tissue or
body cavities
Agonal Edema - CORRECT ANSWERS escape of blood serum from an
intravascular to an extravascular location immediately before death
Agonal Dehydration - CORRECT ANSWERS The loss of moisture from the
living body during the agonal state
Translocation - CORRECT ANSWERS from intestinal areas to blood
vascular system due to capillary permeability changes
Translocation - CORRECT ANSWERS An agonal post mortem redistribution
of host microflora on a host-wide basis.
Gas Gangrene - CORRECT ANSWERS Necrosis in a wound infected by an
anaerobic gas forming bacillus, the most common etiologic agent being clostridium
prefringens . a complication of wet gangrene
, Dry Gangrene - CORRECT ANSWERS condition that results when the body
part that dies had little blood and remains aseptic, the arteries but not the veins are
obstructed. shrivels up
Wet Gangrene - CORRECT ANSWERS Necrotic tissue that is moist as a
result of inadequate venous drainage, may be accompanied by bacterial infection.
Swells, turns black.
Chemotherapeutic Agents - CORRECT ANSWERS application of chemical
agents used in the treatment of disease, will often cause elevated preservative demand
due to nitrogen residue left by these agents
Algor Mortis - CORRECT ANSWERS post mortem cooling of the body to the
surrounding temperature
Intrinsic Factors - CORRECT ANSWERS from within the body
Corpulence - CORRECT ANSWERS Obesity, slows cooling
Livor Mortis Cadaveric Lividity - CORRECT ANSWERS Postmortem,
intravascular, red-blue discoloration resulting from hypostasis of blood
Dehydration Desiccation - CORRECT ANSWERS Loss of moisture from
body tissues which may occur antemortem or postmortem. Process of drying out
intentionally
Imbibition - CORRECT ANSWERS Absorption of the fluid portion of blood by
the tissues after death causing postmortem edema
Autolysis - CORRECT ANSWERS self-destruction of cells, decomposition of
tissue by enzymes of their own formation without microbial assistance
Lysosomes - CORRECT ANSWERS Organelle that exists within a cell, but
separate from the cell, contains enzymes that break down proteins and certain carbs
Enzyme - CORRECT ANSWERS a bio-catalytic agent produced by living
cells and capable of autolytic decomposition
Fermentation - CORRECT ANSWERS the anaerobic decomposition of
carbohydrates by the action of enzymes
Saccharolysis - CORRECT ANSWERS decomposition of sugars
Proteolysis - CORRECT ANSWERS Decomposition of proteins
