decomposition

I learned some things I can never unlearn about organic decomposition and human bone.

Part of the decomposition process causes bodies to bloat and blood to sometimes seep from the mouth.

Where bodies are planted to study the forensics of decomposition.

And what effect, if any, does the fact that her body was found floating in water have on the rate of decomposition?

The other two stages of decomposition, “advanced decay” and “remains,” can be read about here.

Acetone is derived from decomposition of diacetic acid, and this in turn from beta-oxybutyric acid by oxidation.

(c) Decomposition of exudates anywhere in the body, as in empyema, bronchiectasis, and large tuberculous cavities.

Decomposition sets in rapidly, especially in warm weather, and greatly interferes with all the examinations.

Various substances are always precipitated during decomposition, which may take place either within or without the body.

Its chemical composition is unknown, but it is nitrogenous, and is believed to be produced by the decomposition of gluten.
