MAY isang napaka-interesting na katanungan na kapag itinanong mo sa isang priest, philosopher at scientist ay makakakuha ka ng mga magkakaibang kasagutan.
How does the human body know when it is dead?
At a cellular level, do some functions continue, long after consciousness has left the body? At matapos na huminto na ang pagtibok ng ating puso and signals have ceased sparking in the brain, are some of the body’s cells still working away, blissfully unaware that their time has been cut drastically short?
Despite what you may have seen on other lists of random trivia, your fingernails and hair do not, in fact, continue to grow after you die.
Para magpatuloy umano ang pagtubo o paglago, dapat ay magkaroon ng steady supply of glucose, na sinasabing putol na o wala kapag huminto ang pagtibok ng ating puso. In fact, the skin around the hair follicles and nails dehydrates after death and partly retracts, which can make them appear longer.
One argument for this idea of “zombie cells”, parts of our body that don’t realize that the core organism is dead, revolves around our hair and nails. At ayon sa isang popular na paniniwala, ang ating hair, fingernails, at toenails ay nagpapatuloy sa pagtubo — even after we’ve died!
Is this a macabre, spooky truth? Or is it nothing but a ghost story
