“putrefaction”

.

*POST-MORTEM STAGE #5*

.

*following…*

‘pallor mortis’

‘algor mortis’

‘rigor mortis’

‘livor mortis’

.

-this ‘process’ references the ‘breaking down’ of a ‘body’ of a ‘human’ (or other ‘animal’) ‘post-mortem’ (aka ‘after death’)

.

(in ‘broad terms’, it can be viewed as the ‘de-composition’ of ‘proteins’ + the ‘eventual breakdown’ of the ‘cohesiveness’ between ’tissues’, + the ‘liquefaction’ of most ‘organs’)

(this is caused by the ‘de-composition’ of ‘organic matter’ by ‘bacterial’ or ‘fungal’ digestion, which causes the release of ‘gases’ that infiltrate the body’s ’tissues’, and leads to the ‘deterioration’ of the ’tissues’ + ‘organs’)

.

(the approximate time it takes ‘putrefaction’ to occur is dependent on various factors…)

*INTERNAL FACTORS* –>

*’age’ at which ‘death’ has occurred*

*the overall ‘structure’ + ‘condition’ of the ‘body’*

*the ’cause’ of ‘death’*

*’external injuries’ arising ‘before’ or ‘after’ death*

.

*EXTERNAL FACTORS* –>

*’environmental temperature’*

*’moisture’ + ‘air’ exposure*

*clothing*

*burial factors*

*light exposure*

.

(the first signs of ‘putrefaction’ are signified by a ‘greenish discoloration’ on the outside of the ‘skin’ on the ‘abdominal wall’ corresponding to where the ‘large intestine’ begins, as well as under the ‘surface’ of the ‘liver’)

.

(certain ‘substances’…)

‘examples’ –>
carbolic acid / ‘arsenic’ / ‘strychnine’ / ‘zinc chloride’ / etc

(…can be used to ‘delay’ the ‘process’ of ‘putrefaction’ in various ways based on their ‘chemical make-up’)

.

(‘body farms’ are ‘facilities’ which study the process of ‘human decomposition’ as well as how ‘environmental factors’ affect the ”rate’ of ‘putrefaction”)
