Question

For dead body preservation fluid is inserted through-

• A. Femoral vein
• B. Femoral artery
• C. Brachial vein
• D. Brachial artery

Answer 1

The correct option is D Brachial artery

The bodies of deceased person are preserved for funeral and medical purposes. This is done when the body is kept in embalming fluid. It is a mixture of formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, methanol and other solvents.

During embalming, the body fluid is taken out through the jugular vein and embalming mixture is inserted through the carotid artery. Brachial artery is the artery next to carotid artery through which mixture flows.
