Question 1 of 5
The term _______________ means an examination by a pathologist to determine cause of death
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Autopsy. An autopsy is a thorough examination of a body by a pathologist to determine the cause of death. Atrophy (A) refers to the wasting away of body tissues, not an examination. Anatomy (B) is the study of the structure of organisms, not specifically related to determining cause of death. Avulsion (D) is the tearing away of a body part, not related to postmortem examinations. Therefore, C is the correct answer as it directly relates to the process of determining cause of death through a detailed examination.
