A typical prokaryotic cell might contain the following parts: 1  cell wall. 2  plasma membrane. 3  cytoplasm. 4  flagella and pili.
The same is done with the jugular drain tube. A hose is attached to the drain tube, and the hose from the embalming machine is connected to the arterial tube. Drainage can also be achieved by keeping the vein open using angle forceps. Many embalmers prefer this as it allows clots and blockages to be more easily flushed from the vascular system.
But Dr Jones said the most surprising discovery was that the recipe for the embalming concoction used in prehistoric burials was basically unchanged from the mixture used some 2500 to 3000 years later, at the height of the Pharaonic empire.
