What is the consequence of inadequate arterial fluid distribution?

Inadequate arterial fluid distribution can lead to an inconsistent physical appearance of the deceased. When the embalming fluid does not evenly circulate throughout the body, certain areas may receive little to no fluid, leading to patches of different colors and varying degrees of preservation. This uneven treatment can result in visible discrepancies in skin tone, firmness, and overall appearance, which may detract from the deceased's presentation for viewing. Proper distribution is essential for achieving a uniform outcome in the embalming process, and when it is lacking, the physical appearance of the deceased may suffer as a consequence. Effective arterial fluid distribution is critical for both preservation and restorative processes in embalming.
