Cruor

The cruor (actually: Cruor sanguinis ; Latin : coagulated blood ) is a corpse clot consisting of all possible parts of human blood . The main components are erythrocytes that are mixed with fibrin . The red kruor clots ( corpse clots ) form the blood cake .

The cruor is elastic, smooth and homogeneous red. It occurs after death through rapid coagulation and can therefore only be found in corpses during autopsy . It can be easily distinguished from a thrombus because it does not adhere to the vessel wall like this, and it can be easily pulled out of the vessel. Except for the color, a cruor is similar to a bacon skin clot .
