Scientifically explaining what happens when you die, this is

ByJeremy Brooks

There is sometimes debated what will happen after death, such as "When you die, you will not be dead", but no one knows what will happen if you actually die. However, what is going to happen to the dead body from a scientific point of view has been elucidated, and a movie that briefly explained the mechanismWhat Happens When You Die?"Has been released.

105 people are dying per minuteIt is said that what you are interested in is what changes will occur in your body as you die.


A few seconds after the death, the oxygen remaining in the body of the dead man is gone, the nerve stops the activity and the brain stops secretion of the hormone.


In the body are compounds responsible for the release and storage of energyAdenosine triphosphate(ATP) remains, and this muscle relaxes with this ATP. Upon relaxation of the muscles, urine, feces, gastric juice etc. are discharged from the body.


After 15 to 25 minutes after the death, circulation of blood stops as the heart stops pulsating, and blood falls to a low position due to gravity.


Several hours after the death, the color of the sunk blood appeared purple on the surface of the skin, and thisDead spotIs called.


Death spasm is the strongest in about 12 hours after death, and this death spot change may be referred to in order to estimate death estimation time.


After 3 to 6 hours of death, ATP disappears completely, and the muscle becomes unable to control tension with the rise of intramuscular calcium ion concentration required for muscle contraction. And the corpse muscles become hardenedRigor after deathThe phenomenon begins and it will last 24 to 48 hours after death.


If some kind of antiseptic treatment has not been done before the end of rigor after death, corpses start to decay little by little as the cell dies. Also, due to the function of the enzyme present in the tissue of the organAutolysisAlso progress at the same time. Autolysis is a phenomenon in which cells and tissues are degraded by enzymes degrading proteins and lipids.


A number of microorganisms, also called 1 trillion, will promote the decomposition of corpses and anaerobic bacteria in the intestines will start eating organs in the abdomen. At the stage of putrefolt, it is decomposed during amino acid decomposition, causing an intensely putrid smell. Mites and blowfishes lurked by putrid smells lay eggs, and their eggs hatch in less than one day, and the mite larvae and maggots produced are starting to eat body tissues.


Mite larvae and maggots eat about 60% of body tissue in about one week. It will produce butyric acid for 20 to 50 days after deathButyric acid fermentation, Which is a single cell microorganismProtozoonAnd fungi are attracted by butyric acid fermentation. This condition is called "dry spoilage" and it lasts about 1 year at maximum.


While the dry spoil progression, the bones are the only bones left in the dead body due to animals and plants.


Bones are decomposed by acidic soil and bacteria on the ground and returned to the soil, if the luck is good the flowers bloom.
