Question

From the given options, which is not the type of primary incision?
A. U shaped
B. Y-shaped
C. Modified-Y shaped
D. I-shaped
E. T-shaped

• A. A and E only
• B. B and C only
• C. C and E only
• D. A and D only

Hint:

The \textbf{Y-shaped incision} is the most common and versatile incision used in modern autopsies, allowing for excellent exposure of the neck and chest organs. The I-shaped incision is a simpler alternative.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Primary Autopsy Incisions. Primary incisions are initial cuts to access body cavities. Common types include:
- I-shaped (D): Vertical cut from neck to pubic bone.
- Y-shaped (B): Incisions from shoulders meet at sternum, then to pubic bone. This is the most common.
- Modified-Y (C): A variation of the Y-incision.

Step 2: Non-Standard Incisions.
- U-shaped (A): Not a standard primary incision for full autopsy.
- T-shaped (E): Also not a standard primary incision.

Step 3: Conclusion. Standard autopsy procedures use Y-shaped, I-shaped, and Modified-Y incisions as primary types. U-shaped and T-shaped incisions are not primary. Therefore, A and E are correct.
