cut (with an electric saw) Explanation: ¨Sierre¨ does not exist in Spanish. I believe they are referring to ¨serrar¨: cut with an (electric) saw) the skull/cranium. Con la sierra se corta el hueso del cráneo siguiendo una línea circular por encima de los arcos ciliares, continuando por el temporal (sin fascia y sin músculo) y terminando en el occipital. https://www.slideshare.net/JOAQUINGARCIAMATEO/tema-2-necrops... The skull is cut with an electric saw to create a "cap" that can be pried off, exposing the brain. https://science.howstuffworks.com/autopsy5.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2020-11-20 17:19:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If a brain autopsy is called for, the pathologist will make a cut across the crown of the head, from the bony bump behind one ear to the bump behind the other. He or she will then open the cranium using a special saw that cuts bone but leaves soft tissue unharmed. https://www.livescience.com/32789-forensic-pathologist-perfo... |

Circular cutting of the skull with a saw Explanation: I have happened to witness an autopsy in my early study days and the skull is cut in circular form with a circular saw. However, your text does not specify that the saw is circular. It does specify that the cutting is circular. I hope it helps. The article describes the technique of opening the skull with the extraction of the brain in deceased fetuses and newborns. Currently, newborns sometimes there are cases of “circular” opening of the skull (circular cutting) . https://www.ecronicon.com/ecne/pdf/ECNE-10-00350.pdf Autopsy The scalp is pulled away from the skull in two flaps with the front flap going over the face and the rear flap over the back of the neck. The skull is then cut with a circular (or semicircular) bladed reciprocating saw to create a "cap" that can be pulled off, exposing the brain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopsy Sierre viene del verbo serrar que existe en español. Serrar = Definición de la Real Academia Española 1. tr. Cortar o dividir algo, especialmente de madera, con la sierra. https://dle.rae.es/serrar?m=form -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 2 mins (2020-11-21 17:10:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- sierre del cráneo https://publicaciones.defensa.gob.es/media/downloadable/file... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 3 mins (2020-11-21 17:11:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- sierre del cráneo https://publicaciones.defensa.gob.es/media/downloadable/file... |
