Bloat Stage of Decomposition

The video tutorial continues the discussion on decomposition, focusing on the bloat stage, which occurs 0 to 10 days after death. During this stage, the body appears swollen due to bacterial activity and gas formation. The skin shows discoloration, and insect activity increases. Observations on a decomposing pig illustrate these changes, highlighting the strong odor and fluid leakage due to internal pressure.

What is the primary focus of the video tutorial's second part?

• The skeletal stage of decomposition

• The initial stage of decomposition

• The bloat stage of decomposition

• The final stage of decomposition

During the bloat stage, what causes the body to appear swollen?

• Insect activity

• Gas formation by bacteria

• Loss of muscle mass

• Accumulation of fluids

What environmental factor can influence the timing of the bloat stage?

• Temperature

• Humidity

• Wind speed

• Sunlight exposure

What external change is observed on the skin during the bloat stage?

• Skin develops a marble-like appearance

• Skin becomes dry and cracked

• Skin becomes transparent

• Skin turns completely black

What attracts insects to the body during the bloat stage?

• The warmth of the body

• The odor of decomposition

• The color of the skin

• The presence of fluids

In the pig example, what is a noticeable change compared to the initial stage?

• The body is less swollen

• The body is more swollen

• The body is unchanged

• The body is completely decomposed

What color changes are observed on the body during the bloat stage?

• Yellow and orange

• Purple and pink

• Green and gray

• Red and blue

What causes fluids to leak from the body during the bloat stage?

• External injuries

• Evaporation

• Pressure from gases and bacterial activity

• Insect bites

What is a significant sensory change during the bloat stage?

• The body emits a sweet fragrance

• The body becomes silent

• The body emits a strong odor of decay

• The body becomes cold

What is the result of bacterial activity inside the body during the bloat stage?

• Formation of solid masses

• Gas production and tissue destruction

• Complete preservation of tissues

• Rapid cooling of the body
