Auxiliary Place of incision Considerations: Close to the face. Close to the center of circulation (arch of aorta). Close to the center of venous drainage (right atrium). Vessels are relatively superficial.

Answer 30

Auxiliary Place of incision Precautions: Danger of over-injecting the face Anomalies of both artery and vein are common If arms are not treated properly, it does not appear natural when the body is placed in the casket. Numerous branches the embalm arm in position when/after injection
