You have now studied all of the bones of the face & cranium (excluding the 6 bones of the inner ear which we will not be studying). As stated in the previous discussion, the bones of the skull protect and provide a framework for all the tissues of the head to attach and provide form to.

· Name of the bone.

Week 3 Discussion Forum

Discussion Forum Week Three

This week we will be talking about the make up of blood and the function that blood plays in the body. I would like you to discuss with your fellow classmates your interaction with coagulation and clotting as it pertains to embalming. If you have not experienced this yet, please do a little research or consult with an embalmer that can help explain their experience with it. What causes coagulation/clotting and how do you handle it when you embalm?

Students: Please answer the question first and then respond to one of your fellow classmates with a substantive response.

"Substantive" means responding with one or more complete sentences that engages content. Simply responding with something like "Welcome!", "Good to meet you!", "What a nice day!" or "Look, a squirrel!" would not be acceptable responses.
