Abstract

Kosti su važne za mnoge životne funkcije kao što su potpora, pokretljivost, zaštita, proizvodnja krvih stanica, endokrina regulacija i mnoge druge. Stanje kostiju može forenzičaru reći mnogo o životu žrtve pa se tako pomoću njih u najboljem slučaju može odrediti spol, dob, etnička pripadnost i još neke karakteristike kao što su visina i izgled lica. Zubi su također dobar materijal za identifikaciju žrtvi čija se tijela pronađu u lošem stanju zato što je jedna komponenta zuba, zubna caklina, najtvrđi dio ljudskog tijela te se i u slučaju kada je tijelo zapaljeno pomoću nje se može mnogo toga otkriti. U ovom radu je izložen kratak pregled najvažnijih karakteristika kostiju i zubi koje forenzičarima mogu poslužiti pri identifikaciji osoba, a sadrži i osvrt na rad hrvatskih forenzičara tijekom identifikacije žrtava Domovinskog rata.

Abstract (english)

Bones are important for many life functions such as support, mobility, protection, production of blood cells, endocrine regulation, and many others. Condition of bones can tell much about victim's life and that is why they are the source of informations like gender, age, height and face features. Teeth are also good material for identification of the victims whose bodies are found in poor conditions because of enamel, the hardest substance in the human body that protects teeth even at high temperatures. This work presents a brief overview of the most important characteristics of bones and teeth that forensics can use in identification process and it also includes information about identification process of victims of Croatian war of Independence.
