- The first step in embalming for anatomy is to inject a preservative solution into the arteries of the body.
- This is usually done through the femoral artery in the groin.
- The embalming fluid is typically a mixture of formaldehyde, methanol, and water.
2. Cavity embalming:
- Once the arterial embalming is complete, the body cavities are embalmed.
- This is done by injecting embalming fluid into the abdominal and thoracic cavities.
3. Surface embalming:
- The final step in embalming is to apply embalming fluid to the surface of the body.
- This is done by spraying or wiping the fluid onto the skin.
4. Storage:
- After the embalming process is complete, the body is stored in a cool, dry place.
- This will help to preserve the body and prevent decomposition.
