Answer: B. dissection

Autopsy or postmortem is a medical examination of human body that is performed to know the cause, manner and duration since death. The autopsy involves complete examination of the body. The external examination gives indication of situation of the body : number of injury, color changes due to the affect of poisons. Internal examination gives indication of condition of organ in the body of deceased. For a complete internal examination dissection is required. Autopsy is complete when all four cavities like cranial, thoracic, abdominal and pelvic are open through dissection, which allows the assessment of organs present in these cavities. Opening of the intestinal cavity will give a way to assess the intestine, which can be dissected to know the contents present in it.

The correct answer is option (D) internal examination.

Autopsy or the post-mortem examination is a surgical procedure involving the detailed examination of a corpse by dissection. It is done to evaluate the cause, manner and the mode of death.

Basically there are three steps in the process of autopsy. They are-

1. External examination- It involves the collection of the external evidence which includes the kind of clothes, position of the body or any external material on the external surface of the body. The body is then photographed, cleaned, weighed and a general description of the body is noted.

2. Internal examination- Many incisions are made on the body to inspect the internal organs of the body by dissection. It exposes the body parts like the lungs, heart, stomach and the intestinal contents and the brain. The organs are removed and studied to evaluate the cause of death.

3. Reconstitution of the body- The body cavity is lined with cotton, wool and other organs are placed in a plastic bag to prevent the leakage and added back to the body and sewn back.

1. How does our ecological footprint affect each of the spheres on Earth?
Viefleur [7K]
Lithosphere (or geosphere) describes all the rocks, minerals and molten magma found on or in the Earth

The hydrosphere describes all the water on Earth – including liquid water (oceans, etc.) and vapour (precipitation)

The atmosphere describes the layer of gases surrounding the Earth and is divided into sections (stratosphere, etc.)

The biosphere is composed of all the living organisms on the planet (including plants, animals, bacteria, etc.)


The four spheres are interconnected, so human impact on one sphere will potentially effect other spheres

The release of plastic pollution into the oceans (hydrosphere) will impact on marine life (biosphere)

The production and release of CFCs into the atmosphere will effect the impact of UV radiation on the biosphere
