Question

FROM THE AUTOPSY SURGEON'S REPORT

The lungs revealed cyanosis, congestion, over aeration, and subpleural petechial hemorrhages...

Cyanosis of the head was very slight and there were no pronounced hemorrhages in the galea of the scalp. I should judge that very great compression was affected almost immediately, with compression of the arteries as well as of the vein, and that the superior laryngeal nerve was traumatized in the effect of throwing the victim into profound shock...

4. How do the signal words helped in organizing the author's ideas?

Death occurred from the effects of asphyxia, cerebral anemia, and shock. The victim's hair was used for the constriction ligature. Local marks of the ligature were readily discernible: there were some abrasions and a slight ecchymosis in the skin. But I found no obvious lesion in the blood vessels of the neck.

4. How do the signal words helped in organizing the author’s ideas?

Answer 1

1. The author conveys how the victim died, providing in-depth detail on how a medical professional would conduct an autopsy on a victim.
2. The author matter-of-factly presents his ideas, using medical terms that are hard to understand without previous knowledge/understanding of the concepts. This is most likely written for an audience with great knowledge of this subject.
3. The author uses signal words like "and," "but," "I should judge," "as well as"...
4. The signal words organize the author's ideas by helping them move from one point of reference in the autopsy to the next. It allows the reader better understand how the author is conducting the autopsy.
