Last week we did a quick peek to see how organic chemistry is found in the active world around us. 

This week I would like you to step back from chemistry a little and put yourself into the role of a funeral director/embalmer. We are presented with a wide variety of cases but one of them is the arguably one of the most challenging: the decomposition case. 

We will study this a bit more in depth toward the end of this course, but take a moment to research and reflect on how organic chemistry plays a role in the onset (presentation) and continuation of decomposition. 

How you will handle these cases using organic chemistry as your foundation? This may take some research to determine what is involved in the decomposition process. I'm not looking at a deep dive into embalming, just touch the surface of this topic - seeing names of certain compounds or chemicals will help you tie this into our prep rooms.

Week Four: Discussion Forum

Discussion Topic

Top of Form

This discussion is a muddiest point forum. Your goal here is to post something from the course you would like clarification on. Your question needs to have a basis in the material in the course. 

Please do the following tasks: 

Identify, from your studies, one item that you feel isn't explained well or you can't seem to determine what something is the way it is. 

Cite this in the your text book - If the book has conflicting information, place both citations and why you feel they are in conflict. 

Paraphrase what  you think it means.
