In this book we first propose the correct way to make a quick and complete necropsy which reveals the different organs and structures, offering a technique that can provide us with as much information as possible. Secondly, and directly connected with the necropsy process and maintaining both the orders and the observation plane, we show a significant number of lesions with their respective interpretations and possible relationships with one or more diseases.
This book describes how to carry out a quick and complete post-mortem examination with a technique that allows you to obtain the maximum possible information and helps in the observation of lesions for their correct interpretation. This necropsy protocol respects the different traditional incision and observation planes, as well as the sampling methods for further studies.
