Livor mortis refers to the settling of the blood in the lower part of the body that causes a purplish red discoloration of the skin. After the heart stops beating, the heavy red blood cells sink through the serum because of gravity.
Oxygen can be starved to cells due to poor blood circulation, which can be caused by conditions like heart disease, blocked blood vessels, or low blood pressure. This lack of oxygen can lead to tissue damage and cell death if not addressed promptly.
Particles with larger sizes, greater density, and irregular shapes tend to have the longest settling time in calm water. These characteristics lead to increased gravitational force acting on the particles and higher resistance to flow, causing slower settling.
Alcohol in an autopsy can be detected through blood or urine analysis. Blood is typically the preferred sample due to its higher alcohol content compared to urine. The level of alcohol found in the blood can then be used to determine if it played a role in the individual's death.
No, dust settling out of the air is a physical change, not a chemical change. It is a result of gravity causing the dust particles to fall out of suspension in the air without any chemical reactions occurring.
Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells more readily than oxygen, forming carboxyhemoglobin. This reduces the amount of oxygen that can be transported in the blood to tissues and organs, leading to oxygen deprivation.
Livor mortis is the settling of blood in the lowest portion of the body causing a purple color in the skin; "livor" is Latin for 'bluish color' and "mortis" is Latin for 'of death'
Livor mortis becomes fixed approximately 8-12 hours after death. After this point, the settling of blood in the dependent parts of the body does not change with a change in position.
After death, lips can start to turn purple within a few hours due to the settling of blood in the lower parts of the body, a process known as livor mortis. This discoloration is a result of blood pooling and the breakdown of red blood cells, which can cause the skin to appear bluish or purplish. The extent and timing can vary based on factors such as the environment and the individual's health prior to death.
No. Blood starts to coagulate immediately after death.
The shape of the red blood cells prevented them from settling.
bleed to death
some of the blood tests require a settling time.

it speeds settling or separating of compounds they often use it to separate blood so they can test the veracious parts of it
the blood coagulates and it causes death
I should rephrase that... From the cloth imbued with the blood, from the red death
