Death By Medical Methods

    Death is the mystery of life, is related to the soul and spirit; how the two interact? Medically, there is a simple definition of death, ie when a person is not breathing anymore, his heart rate stopped, and his brain no longer active. In moments like that, someone said to suffer death.
    When the breath and the heart does not work anymore, all the cells in the human body is also experiencing death. The supply of oxygen and nutrients will stop and no longer live cells in the body. So, do not take long, millions of cells in our body will experience a dramatic collapse and then rot.
     There are different methods of identification of the dead, who is in the knowledge of brain activity. Person's heart rate and breathing may stop, but at that moment is not necessarily stop the activity in his brain. In such circumstances, people do not say die. Thus, the relief effort was undertaken by reactivating the heart rate via an electrical shock. Breath of stops could be due to blockage of the airways by an object. Thus, aid can still be done in this condition by performing a few steps, such as artificial respiration. However, if that stops the move as a whole is the brain, can be sure the person has died. Therefore, the brain is the control of various activities of the organs of the body.
    Activities organs are generally divided into two regions, namely the activity of the brain and brain stem activity. If that stops the move is a major brain stem brain while still working, the person is said to suspended animation (half dead) | coma. Big brain with a small brain function helped coordinate all activities that occur in the body, ranging from wills to the response movement. While the brainstem regulate basic functions of life, such as breathing and heartbeat. Thus, although awareness and motor responses have been very low, one can still breathe and have a heartbeat if her brain stem was still functioning. Therefore, control of breathing and cardiac function in the brain stem.
    So, from the medical side, death is when a person's brain stem is not functioning anymore, when there are no more commands to run the movement of breath and heartbeat. And, we know that the motion of breathing and heart rate is a mechanism that serves to distribute oxygen and nutrients to all body tissues for the millions of cells can live and function normally.
     Medically we can conclude that the process of death seseorangdimulai with the revocation order of life of the brainstem, in the form of cessation of heartbeat and movement of the lungs, and orders the removal of consciousness in an area called the formation retikularis (areas that have cell nuclei scattered in the stem region brain and have the ability to issue orders governing the conditions of the human unconscious.
