Comprehensiveness

On this resource, the following formatting is used for comprehensiveness:

  • Minimal depth
  • (Moderate depth)
  • ((Comprehensive))

Main targets

Autopsy

Autopsy processing

In autopsy:

  • Make a couple of cuts through the adrenal glands, such as transversal ones, and look mainly for adrenal tumors.
  • ((Remove the adrenals, trim them from excessive adherent fat, and weight them. Their combined weight in an adult human ranges from 7 to 10 grams.[1]))

Autopsy report

Normal status can be described as either:

  • Adrenal glands are normal bilaterally.
  • (Adrenal glands are ordinarily configured and with no definable focal changes on cut surfaces.)
  • ((The adrenals are normal in size, shape and consistency, with a weight of __ grams on the right and __ grams on the left. The cortices are orange with <normal / increased / decreased thickness>. The medullae are <grey / autolyzed>.))
