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: Identify standard autopsy incisions. Primary incisions are the initial cuts made to open the body cavities for examination. The most common types are:
- I-shaped incision (D): A single vertical cut from the neck to the pubic bone.
- Y-shaped incision (B): Incisions from each shoulder meeting at the sternum, then proceeding down to the pubic bone as a single cut. This is the most common method.
- Modified-Y shaped incision (C): A variation of the Y-incision.

Step 2: Identify non-standard or situational incisions.
- U-shaped incision (A): This is not a standard primary incision for a full autopsy.
- T-shaped incision (E): This is also not a standard primary incision.

Step 3: Conclude. Based on standard autopsy procedures, the Y-shaped, I-shaped, and Modified-Y shaped incisions are primary types. The U-shaped and T-shaped incisions are not. Therefore, A and E are the correct answers.
