What is a Characteristic of dead things?

Answer 1

When a person first loses all signs of life, (pulse, heart beat, circulation, cessation of breathing) they look like they are sleeping. If there has been some type of trauma, then there would be the same "sleeping" look, but possibly blood coming out of the mouth, rectum, or a wound, possibly the person urinated because the "sphincters" that are like "levers" that let various substances pass all through the body are just muscles, and those cease to work and so you have some impairment of bodily functions.

For the first hour or so, the "sleeping" look continues, but as the minutes pass by, the person would begin to turn a "bluish/dusky" color, because they are not taking in oxygen, or circulating blood, and that is an indicator of death or impending death.

"Rigor Mortis" is when the muscles cease to be working, and the body of the deceased person becomes stiff, and inflexible.

In a funeral home setting, a dead person will actually look very much like they are sleeping with makeup and nice clothing.

Answer 2

A dead body is usually pail. Because the human is no longer breathing they do not move, cannot speak and cannot function as normal humans can. Also many dead bodies either cremated or buried and not left out in the public in order for us to respect the dead.

Answer 3

* Decay.

Most dead things decay, or will decay in the normal course of events, if they are not interfered with.

Dead things are inactive, but so are non-living things, so that doesn't distinguish them.

Answer 4

A characteristic of dead things is the absence of biological functions such as respiration, growth, and response to stimuli. Dead things do not exhibit signs of life, and cellular processes ceases to occur after death. Decay and decomposition are also common characteristics of dead organisms.

Answer 5

A characteristic of dead things is the lack of biological processes and functions. When an organism dies, it no longer exhibits signs of life such as growth, metabolism, or response to stimuli. Dead things also typically undergo decomposition as their cells break down and nutrients are recycled back into the environment.

Answer 6

There would be no pulse, bluish in color, lack of heartbeat, no response

Answer 7
