Kilgore Trout, a mortician at Final Rest Funeral Home, prepares a body on Tuesday and must shave it again on Thursday. Why?
the sweat glands released their product, causing the hair to grow
the skin retracted from the hair follicles
during the process of decomposition, the hairs grew out of the follicles
the skin grew out, forcing the hair out of the follicles
The Correct Answer is B
A. the sweat glands released their product, causing the hair to grow
Hair does not grow postmortem, and sweat gland activity ceases after death.
B. the skin retracted from the hair follicles
After death, the skin dehydrates and shrinks, which can cause the hair shaft to appear longer, giving the illusion that hair has grown, even though it hasn't.
C. during the process of decomposition, the hairs grew out of the follicles
Hair cannot grow after death because cellular metabolism and mitosis cease.
D. the skin grew out, forcing the hair out of the follicles
Skin does not grow postmortem; this is scientifically inaccurate.
