Suggilation is due to which of the
following?
a) Gravity leading to pooling of blood
b) Escape of blood from microvasculature
c) Molecular death leading to stiffening of muscles
d) Autolysis of enzymes
Correct Answer - A
Ans. is ‘a’ i.e., Gravity leading to pooling of blood [Ref Reddy
30th/e p. 141]
Gravity leading to pooling of blood → Suggilation
Molecular death leading to stiffening of muscles → Rigor Mortis
Autolysis of enzymes → Putrefaction
