What is a Cadaver?

Corpse, pinyin sh t, refers to the body left by a person or animal after death.

[sh t]

Human or animal body after death. Over time, the carcasses will rot into carbon dioxide and water due to the enzymes secreted by the bacterial fungi. The dead body in the decay is foul. If the dead body decays in the water medium, it will be prolonged, but in the acid and alkali medium, the dead body decay will be shortened. For example, the mummy of ancient Egypt is a dried body. The heart stops beating, no longer delivers oxygen to the cells and tissues of the body, and life ends. Usually within 3 to 8 minutes, brain cells die first, while bone and skin cells can continue to survive for several days. The blood will flow from the capillaries and gather to the lower part of the body, so some parts of the corpse are pale, and some parts are darker and are called corpses. About 3 hours after death, corpse stiffness occurred, that is, the muscles hardened. About 12 hours after death, the body became cold. Within 24 hours (the exact time depends on the body's fat content and external temperature), all the heat inside the body will be lost. This process of losing heat is called corpse cold. About 36 hours after death, the tissue will emit green matter, and release gas such as methane and H2S. The corpse's lungs will drain fluid through the nose and mouth.

Dead fly

The odors and liquids emitted by the carcasses attract insects and other animals. Human carcasses provide food and a place for insects to lay eggs. In this chaotic world, foraging flies can eat on their carcasses and lay another 300 eggs. These eggs will hatch in a day.

Dead body tapeworm

The larvae hatched from the eggs are extremely efficient and are downright eater. After hatching outside the carcass, the tapeworm scooped up the liquid exuding from the carcass with a hook. Within a day, tapeworms will drill into the corpse and enter the second stage of larval life.

Tapeworms are social creatures. They feed on carrion on corpses and decompose them into viscous substances by secreting enzymes. The tapeworm's breathing organ is located on the opposite end of the mouth, so that the tapeworm can eat and breathe without wasting any time. The first stage larvae are approximately 2 mm long, and after the third stage the larvae become pre-pupae. The pre-sacral body length can reach 20 mm, which is 10 times the original body length. In less than seven days, roundworms can eat up to 60% of the carcass (source: Australian Museum).
