RA Final Flashcards
The physical appearance of one’s face is affected in part by what are known as facial markings. These include the _______, ________, and _________ that help give each of us an individuals.
wrinkles, depressions, and projections
The character lines, wrinkles, grooves, cords of the neck and dimples of the face.
facial markings
facial markings are caused by
muscles
Factors responsible for facial markings.
A. Age & Heredity B. Environment C. Muscle Striation & Action D. Position of the body E. Condition of the body 1. Rapid loss of weight 2. Pathological condition 3. Corpulence (weight gain) 4. Trauma
FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR FACIAL MARKINGS
genetically predisposed to them, genetic make-up from our parents
heredity
FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR FACIAL MARKINGS
the number of facial markings we have increase with age: loss of muscle mass, stretching of the skin, and how our skin was cared for throughout our life
age
FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR FACIAL MARKINGS
what effects most people is exposure to the sun. Excessive amounts of sun throughout the life will tend to have a darker complexion with more line and firmer, less soft skin texture.
environment
FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR FACIAL MARKINGS
The more a muscle is worked, the firmer it becomes. Reverse is also true if muscles are not worked.
Muscle striation
FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR FACIAL MARKINGS
If we are lying on our backs in a supine position, the sag will be posterior and later.
Position of the body
FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR FACIAL MARKINGS
The state that the deceased is in when the embalmer receives it can affect the facial markings. A body that has been disfigured due to an accident or disease may have markings that have been partially or completely altered and need to be reproduced through restorative procedures. Folding of excess tissue can give the appearance of someone looking older
Condition of the body
FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR FACIAL MARKINGS
A disease can change the appearance of facial markings.
Pathological condition
FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR FACIAL MARKINGS
excess moisture can make the face appear unrecognizable. Removes or lessens the effect of wrinkles and facial marking. Opposite effect of weight loss.
Corpulence
those markings present at birth
Natural facial markings
those markings developed throughout a lifetime; as you age
Acquired facial marking
neither natural nor acquired facial markings which occur on both sides of the face are truly symmetrical
Asymmetry of facial markings
The termination of all facial markings is
indefinite
a natural facial marking; vertical groove located medially on the superior integumentary lip, extends from the columna nasi and the margin of the red lip (superior mucus membrane). The lateral margins are slightly raised. They form an irregular parenthetical curve; meaning it is shaped like a parenthesis (). The greatest depth of the philtrum corresponds to its widest part. The philtrum can become obscured in very old age
Philtrum
a natural facial marking;goes from the nose the lips to the corner of mouth. The eminence of the cheek and adjacent to the mouth, extending from the superior part of the posterior margin of the wing of the nose to the side of the mouth. Its elevation will vary according to the amount of tissue

Linear outline of the nasolabial fold
Curved- gentle curve,
Straight- less curvature
Sinuous (backward S)

Reason for seeking permission before undertaking a restoration
consumer’s right to informed consent.
Is a vertical plane which divides the head into left and right sides; a lengthwise cut that divides the body into right and left portions.
Median plane
(sagittal)
if the division is into two equal halves, then it would be median or mid-sagittal plane

Oblique
a surface exhibiting a minimum curvature, but differing in direction from the adjacent surface
Surface
Correspondence in size, shape, and relative position of parts that are on opposite sides of the face (ears, eyes).
Symmetry
Refers to the difference of paired features; the two sides of a feature or both “halves” of the face. (Difference between the two ears). Glossary definition: lack of symmetry, balance, or proportion
Asymmetry
A funeral director, during the arrangement conference, has two opportunities to encourage a family to hold a viewing with an open casket:
- The first involves the funeral director discussing the help that viewing provides the bereaved in facing the reality of death.2. The second arises when discussing the appearance of the body and the technical skill and care that the professional staff will provide to ensure a natural and pleasing appearance.
