Document Summary
Identify with high prob the exact identity of ind: final phase of forensic analysis, begin w/ info on sex, age, stature, ancestry, add other info gleaned from skeleton. Know the three ways pathology affects bone and the terms lytic, osteoclastic, and osteoblastic. Paleopathology: the study of ancient disease in skeletal remains. Also focuses on mummified remains: pathology affects bone in 3 ways, excess osteoclastic activity produces lytic lesions. Osteoclasts: bone cells responsible for removal of bone from body. Lytic lesion on distal end of humerus, cavitation in joint surface, holes are pores due to exposure of underlying trabecular bone: excess osteoblastic activity produces proliferate lesions. Maxillary sinusitis- proliferative: little additions of bones that look like spider webs; body responded to disease by activating osteoblasts and creating new bone. Woven bone to some sort of systemic infection | excess piece of bone, may be traumatic in origin: abnormalities of shape produces by both processes.
