===== EMBALMING TYPES =====


==== Practical EMBALMING  ====

**Criteria for selection of a vessel to be used**

  * Size of vessel 
  * Depth of the location of vessel 
  * Proximity of the vessel to the heart 
  * Choice in infants and children

//Methods of EMBALMING//

  - Arterial EMBALMING 
  - Cavity EMBALMING : it is mainly of three steps 
       - insertion of trocar 
       - aspiration 
       - injection of fluid 

**Supplemental methods of EMBALMING 
**

  - Hypodermic EMBALMING 
  - Surface EMBALMING


**EMBALMING procedure** 

Arterial EMBALMING 
  * Gravity injection
  * Electric pump (air pressure machine)
