Do embalmers really look inside every artery and vein? Even the doctor performing autopsy does not cut open every artery and vein.

If there is a blockage preventing proper embalming, they must remove it. Imagine trying to pump gas into your car. If the intake pipe has an obstruction, you have to remove it before you can tank up. If a major body part is not receiving embalming fluid (they “tint” it for a more natural skin tone so they can see which body parts are receiving the fluid) they know they have a blockage and need to clear it to complete the preparation for burial.
Otherwise, rot/decay/gaseous build-up and resultant odor. Nobody wants that at a funeral visitation.
I don’t think embalmers look inside very much at all. All they have to do is replace the blood and abdominal fluid with the embalming fluid. This is done through needles.
