The porosity of bones is important for
Blood flow to transfer nutrients
Cracks on bone formed by trauma

The removal of fats from bones.
Degreasing.
Commonly known as cavities
Dental Carries
Trauma occuring at or around the time of death
Peri-mortem trauma
An insect that eats flesh.
Dermestid Beetles
___ Porosity contains blood vessels
Vascular
Signs that trauma has occurred during life
If bone healing was present or not.
One advantage of using dermestid beetles for processing remains.
No risk of damaging remains; inexpensive; not-labor inducing
A characteristic of DISH is
1) ossification of ligaments
2) excessive new bone formation
When your tooth gets knocked out
Tooth Avulsion
One advantage of steam kettle maceration.
Minimal disarticulation, no chemical use, minimal fat retention, easy soft tissue removal
DISH stands for
Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH)
Types of trauma mechanisms (4 types).
1) Blunt Force
2) Sharp Force
3) High-Velocity Projectile
4) Thermal
The damage on bones that can occur due to improper/careless processing (3 types).
Bleach can reduce the amount of DNA retrieved; excessive heat can crack/splinter/scorch bones; disarticulation can cause trauma
