Chapter 678 Continue Anatomy
"You mean, 'she'... lived in this ruins before 900 years of the New Era?" Sergeant Ken asked.

Liao Xing nodded.

"'She' is human... At least from the perspective of external body structure, it is very close to human?" Sergeant Ken asked again.

"It's extremely close. If it's not for the pursuit of scientific rigor, it's fine to say they're exactly the same." Liao Xing corrected.

"Before 900 years in the new era, only the advance team came to this planet, and those people in the advance team, whether they died, disappeared, or successfully returned to the ark...they were all men, no women, right? ’ That was the third question from Sergeant Ken.

"It is not ruled out that there will be an early advance team secretly carrying women to the Alpha star. After all, there are some unethical experiments that cannot be made public... For example, whether human beings can successfully conceive in the natural environment of the Alpha star, and whether the embryo can survive in this environment. Under development and growth, etc... But the 'participants' of this type of experiment will be strictly protected, and generally will not go to dangerous areas, and the possibility of disappearance is extremely low."

Sergeant Ken pondered for a few seconds before he opened his mouth and said, "Continue dissecting... The force that this monster erupted when it just lifted me off was very strong. If it was a malnourished human female, it would be impossible to have this kind of power."

"En." Liao Xing didn't say much, and took out the largest scalpel directly.

The dissection of the human body generally starts from the chest and abdomen. As for the commonly used knife method, there are two types: one is to cut straight from the lower edge of the mandible along the midline of the neck and chest and abdomen, except for bypassing the navel, all the way to the abdomen. "Straight cut" of the pubic symphysis.The other is to go down from the temporal bone mastoid process on both sides along the shoulders, meet at the sternum and then cut down to the pubic symphysis, then peel off the mandible and chest skin and turn it up, exposing the "Y shape" of the neck organs cutting method."

The advantage of the "one-shaped incision" is that it is fast and convenient, while the "Y-shaped incision" preserves the neck skin of the deceased as intact as possible, and it is not easy to see from the front after the incision is sutured and the clothes are put on trace.

Now that time is running out, and the 776 special team doesn't need to bury this "monster"'s body, Liao Xing naturally chose the "one-line cut method".

The sharp blade cut through the pale skin without any hindrance, and bright red blood immediately oozed out from the wound.

Generally speaking, no matter how thin a person is, there will be a little yellowish subcutaneous fat to some extent, but there is no trace of fat under the skin of this corpse-if this level of "malnutrition" occurs In a normal human body, this person may have died of various complications such as hypoglycemia, severe anemia, electrolyte imbalance... In other words, only dead people can lose weight to this extent.

"The corpse's blood pressure is very high. You all wear protective clothing and be careful of splashing." Liao Xing reminded aloud, "I'm going to pull out Sergeant Ken's dagger, and blood may spurt out at that time."

Collins and Gino immediately donned hazmat suits, full-face masks, and rubber gloves that wrapped up to the elbows.

It wasn't until the two of them were fully dressed that Liao Xing held the hemostatic cotton with tweezers, pressed on the wound of the corpse, and slowly but steadily pulled out the dagger that pierced through the heart.

Even though they were mentally prepared, Collins and Gino couldn't help but let out a low cry when the blood shot out a few meters away in an instant.

After the blood stopped rushing, Liao Xing grasped the edge of the skin and muscle incision with both hands, and peeled it to both sides.

"The heart is in good condition, but other organs show obvious signs of failure...Huh?!"

"What's wrong?" Sergeant Ken frowned and asked.

"The ribs of the corpse are very calcified, and this kind of situation usually only occurs in the elderly." Liao Xing replied truthfully.

"From the outside, you can't tell the age of this monster..." Collins muttered, "I even think this is a mummy that has been dried for hundreds of years."

Liao Xing did not answer, but continued to work in silence.

He took out a pair of pliers, cut off the calcified ribs one by one, took them out of the chest cavity of the corpse, and skillfully picked apart the fascia and muscles in the chest and abdominal cavity layer by layer.

"Heart, lungs, stomach...and kidneys...this is the pancreas and liver...the large and small intestines..." Liao Xing pointed out the organs like a few treasures. At this time, even if he knows anatomy well The few Collins and Keno's faces became more and more serious.

If the appearance of this corpse only makes people suspect that it is a creature that is highly similar to human beings, then its internal organs and even its skeleton tell everyone in the 776 special team that this is a human corpse .

But when Liao Xing's gaze stayed on the pubic bone of the corpse, his hand that had been holding the knife steadily trembled suddenly.

"Bring the non-woven towels and the tampons," he ordered to Collins.

The latter immediately found what he needed in the medical bag and handed it over.

Liao Xing used these things to remove the blood and residual tissue on the surface of the pubic bone, then replaced it with an extremely thin blade, and scraped carefully on the surface of the bone.

"Doctor Liao... what is he doing?" Collins looked at Jino with some doubts.

"I'm not sure, but I think he's trying to determine the age of this monster from the bones..." Gino whispered.

"Bingo!" From Collins' perspective, Ke Lan couldn't help giving Jino a thumbs-up in his heart. After all, a doctor is a doctor. Even in a field he is not good at, he still guessed the correct answer right away.

Liao Xing is currently working on the bone age of this "monster" corpse.

Generally speaking, it is relatively simple to measure the bone age of teenagers. You only need to take an X-ray of the wrist to detect the bone age through bone plaque (that is, the cartilage at the end of the bone that has not yet developed into a hard bone).But if it is an adult, the bone bone line at the wrist is usually completely closed, so it can only be detected through the hip joint or knee.

However, when the forensic doctor conducts an autopsy, if he wants to determine the age of the deceased, the preferred location must be the pubic symphysis.

The bone quality of the pubic symphysis including the pelvis will change with age. This is currently one of the most reliable methods for determining the age of a corpse. Although there may be some errors, the error can basically be controlled at five years old Within... And some experienced forensic doctors can even reduce the error to plus or minus one year old.

[PS In order to write this chapter, I consulted a lot of medical materials, including a lot of pictures and videos with heavy mouth...Fortunately, I didn't eat anything after six o'clock in the evening when I was exercising...Those materials directly made my hunger The feeling is completely dispelled...]
