3. =Lymph-glands.= The cervical, axillary and inguinal lymphnodes can be secured for examination by carrying the skin-flaps of the main-incision far enough back to make these regions accessible. For the examination of other glands, such as the cubital, popliteal, interscapular, posterior cervical, etc., the cadaver should be placed in a convenient position, and the skin-incisions should be made so as to expose sufficiently the part to be examined, without unnecessary mutilation. 4. =Peripheral Blood-vessels and Nerves.= Skin-incisions are made along the course of the vessels and nerves, and these are then exposed by careful dissection. In the case of the upper extremity the clavicle is removed when the entire course of the nerves and vessels of the arm is to be exposed. 5. =Sympathetic System.= The cervical, thoracic and abdominal sympathetic systems are examined either at the close of the examination of each one of these regions or at the end of the autopsy. Careful anatomic dissections are necessary for the demonstration of the sympathetic ganglia and nerves. 6. =Organs of Special Sense.= These may be examined at the close of the autopsy, according to the methods given above, if they have not been examined at the close of the section of the brain. II. POINTS TO BE NOTED IN SPECIAL REGIONAL EXAMINATION. 1. =Bones and Bone-marrow.= Note size, form, color of surface, consistence (diminished in necrosis, osteomalacia, rachitis, senile osteoporosis, etc.; increased in sclerosis), fragility, fractures, separation of epiphyses, fissures, dislocations, elevation or separation of periosteum, periosteal defects, changes in periosteum (thickened, indurated, and showing hard white elevations in chronic inflammation; swollen and easily stripped from the bone in acute inflammation; hæmorrhages and collections of pus beneath periosteum cause separation of periosteum; in chronic inflammation the periosteum may become more firmly adherent to the bone and contain spongy, compact, cartilaginous or osteoid osteophytes that vary in color according to the degree of calcification [bluish-red, yellowish, dirty-white, shining-white]; the normal periosteum is grayish-white in color; it is reddened in hyperæmia and hæmorrhage). The surface of bones normally is smooth and grayish-yellow in color; it becomes red with an increase in the number and size of the medullary spaces, and paler, grayish-white or white in necrosis; a dull, rough, uneven surface indicates lacunar absorption. Note localized or general thickening (exostoses, hyperostosis). On section note thickening of the bone (osteomyelitis ossificans), thinning (osteoporosis, excentric atrophy), enlargement of medullary spaces, obliteration of spaces by newly-formed bone (osteosclerosis; bone becomes heavy and solid like ivory), and caries (pyogenic infection, tuberculosis, syphilis, actinomycosis, neoplasm). Caries occurs in both spongy and compact bone, but more often in the former. The
