What types of incisions are made in arteries for the insertion of an arterial tube?

The insertion of an arterial tube typically requires specific incision types to facilitate optimal access to the arterial structure while minimizing trauma to the tissue. Diagonal, transverse, and longitudinal incisions are most commonly recognized as appropriate for this purpose.

Diagonal incisions allow for a strategic entry point that can accommodate the curve of the artery and enhance access to the lumen. Transverse incisions grant a broad access point across the artery, essential for larger arterial tubes. Longitudinal incisions align with the length of the artery, making it easier to insert the tube along the vessel. Collectively, these incision styles ensure that the arterial tube can be positioned effectively for the required embalming procedure, promoting the efficient flow of embalming fluids.

Other types of incisions, like those described in the other options, may not provide the necessary access or could potentially increase the risk of damaging the artery or surrounding tissues, making them less optimal for this procedure.
