what happens after we die??

Answer 1

By body breaks down through bacteria and insects. The nutrients then soak into the soil, which helps the tomatoes grow for future generations to enjoy and live on, and that is part of the cycle of life. Lovely. Some people have some weird misconception that we go to heaven or hell or something like that. Me, I am just worm food, unless the bastards cremate me, then I just become dust that settles over a few mile radius depending on the strength and wind direction at the cemetery at the time.

Answer 2

Your body starts to decompose almost immediately with your brain the first to go. About 4 minutes after the brain is deprived of oxygen it starts to break down. Other organs not receiving a blood supply also stop and begin to decompose. You body temperature rises as the blood makes a last minute rush to your brain to try and revive you.

When you are taken to the mortuary, the pathologist will perform a 'Y' shape cut to your torso and pull your skin away enabling him to remove your internal organs, weigh them, look for signs of disease etc. The top of your skull is cut off and your brain removed. As it is a tightly packed organ, when they remove it, it open out. It's then too big to go back inside your head so the rest is put into your stomach cavity. The pathologist determines your cause of death and you are then bagged and tagged ready for collection by your family.

Then you get eaten by worms and other creepy crawlies if you're buried. If you're cremated your ashes are thrown over the ground and people will walk all over you.

A bit like life really.

Answer 3

Seeing as you asked this in biology, here's what happens to your body.

Your pupils will dilate (widen).
Depending on how full your bladder/rectum is, you'll likely soil yourself. (sounds awful doesn't it?)
There is a rapid fall in body temperature as your body no longer needs the heat.
About 12 hours later, your muscles stiffen. 36 hours later, they relax again.
All brainwave activity stops. (when your heart and breathing stop, you're clinically dead. When brainwave activity stops, you can't be revived.)

That's all I can remember from my Year 11 Human Biology textbook. There are a few psychological things leading up to death. Also (just trivia), look up the word hospice in a dictionary. Just something to know =)

Additionally, depending on your religious beliefs, there are various theories/assumptions of what will happen to your soul/spirit/life force etc. That generally varies among cultures.

Answer 4

Our body devoid of regeneration and self cleaning is taken over by the minuscule bugs and bacteria that live in it all our lives. This causes the body to decay and the fleshy part turns to sloppy goo and smelly liquid. Nearby flies, or other of the larger bugs invade the goo and munch away and lay eggs. These eggs hatch and hey presto we are invaded by worms who munch away and metamorphose into whatever they finally are. Finally our bones are left and these decay over a lot longer time. so essentially we are just muck but never realize this because by the time we get to be visible as just the muck we actually are we are dead. Therefore we in fact live deceiving the world that we are more that just globs of stinking, smelling dust in transition and so we deceive ourselves.

Answer 5

Well Physically we decay/decompose but Spiritually we begin to pay the price for all the deeds we have done on Earth by either going to Heaven or Hell. Not much to say but would love to go to Heaven (Join the Good people), I strongly believe it's real.

Answer 6

Biologically speaking, our bodies get decomposed by scavengers. The particles that makeup our body was once in the stars and supernovae, and they will eventually go to "heaven" and potentially be part of new stars and new planets or potentially new living worlds.

However, nobody knows what happens to the "soul" and nobody will until they actually die.

Answer 7

Apart from the answer (rather detailed, I think) about biologically about what happens........it is the soul and spirit which are more important. They go back to the Maker. We need something to believe in for eternity and it is the soul and spirit which come to fill the gap. Read the book(s) Life after life by Raymond Moody.

Answer 8

In what way? Your body will cool rapidly and develop rigor mortis which will wear off in about 12-24 hours, all the muscles will relax and any urine or faeces will come out... Is that what you mean as you have asked this in the biology section?

Answer 9

when we die, our cells and hormones dies with us. our bodies can be preserved but that is costly.
when we are buried nematodes in us begins to bore tru differnt parts of our body breaking down our body into tiny bits.
these are the roles of the decomposers in the food chain and gradually parts of the body chop away as a results of the work of these decomposers. finnally only the bones i mean the skeleton(the bony framework of the body) is left. these can only be biodegrable by the actions of chemicals on them like acids.
after death, the soul goes back to God the creator of man.

Answer 10

That answer is completely dependent on what happened BEFORE you die.
