22
Q

The furrow beneath the jawline which rises vertically on the cheek.

A

23
Q

“Furrows of age”
The vertical furrows of the lips, extending from within the mucous membranes (red lips) into the integumentary lips (skin beyond red lip).

Occurs 1st in upper lips

Labial sulci

24
Q

The transverse dipping furrow of the neck.

run across front sides of neck

A

Platysmal sulci

25
Q

The vertical prominences (eminences) of the neck.

26
Q

Factor responsible for facial marking:
Because we are genetically predisposed to them, come from genetic make-up of our parents, share some similarities with our family members

A

Heredity

27
Q

Factor responsible for facial marking:

Number of facial markings we have increase with over time by loss of muscle mass, stretching of skin, past skin care

A

Age

28
Q

Factor responsible for facial marking:
Exposed to excessive amounts of sun throughout life will tend to have a darker complexion with more lines and firmer, less soft skin texture

A

Environment

29
Q

Factor responsible for facial marking:
More a muscle is worked the firmer it becomes. If muscles are not worked they can soften and sag which affect number and description of our facial markings

A

Muscle striation and action

30
Q

Factor responsible for facial marking:
Objects will fall or sag downward in direction of earth. Standing in erect postion the direction is inferior and lying on backs in a supine position the sag will be posterior and lateral.

A

Position of the body

31
Q

Factor responsible for facial marking:
State of deceased body when embalmer receives it can affect the facial markings. Sudden weight loss before death will usually have more wrinkles and facial sagging, gained weight may exhibit fewer markings cause they have been altered by excessive weight.

A

Condition of the body

32
Q

The character lines, wrinkles, grooves, cords of the neck, and dimples of the face. Caused by muscles,

A

Facial Markings

33
Q

Factor responsible for facial marking:

  1. Rapid Loss of Weight
  2. Pathological Condition (Disease change)
  3. Corpulence (weight gain-less effect of wrinkles)
  4. Trauma (rebuild area with wax)
A

Condition of the body

A

Groove

37
Q

a furrow, wrinkle or groove.

A

Q

Classification of Facial Markings

A

Natural (born with)
vs.
Acquired (develop over life)

39
Q

Asymmetry of Facial Markings

A

Neither natural nor acquired facial markings which occur on both sides of the face are truly symmetrical

40
Q

The termination of all facial markings is indefinite (as terminate it becomes part of its surrounding area)
