Question

Which is the first organ to putrefy :

• A. Brian
• B. Heart
• C. Prostate
• D. Kidney

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: After death, microorganisms break down body tissues in a fairly predictable sequence; structures with high moisture and rich vascularity decay sooner than dense, low-water tissues.

Step 2: If we rank only the four given organs by how soon they decompose, the brain comes first, followed by the heart, then the kidney, with the prostate decaying late along with the uterus.

Step 3: The brain qualifies as the earliest of these because its high lipid and fluid content makes it prone to rapid autolysis and softening, so it is the first to show putrefactive change among the listed organs.

Step 4: The prostate is among the most resistant of soft organs, which is why it is preferred for identification in advanced decomposition, confirming that it is not the earliest to putrefy here. \[\boxed{\text{Brain is the first of the listed organs to putrefy}}\]
