Physiology of death: Difference between revisions

There are several leading causes of death in the United States, and many are very surprising. The main cause of death in the United States is heart disease. This is in both men and women. The second is cancer, specifically lung cancer. The chronic lower respiratory disease is the third. It is when the air is blocked from the lungs and airways from the disease. The fourth main cause of death is accidents. This includes anything that may occur unexpectedly that could cause a person to die. This mainly happens to those ages 1-44. Cerebrovascular diseases come in fifth, which are conditions that involve the blood vessels and the brain. Cerebrovascular diseases usually involve strokes. The sixth leading cause of death is Alzheimer’s, also known as Dementia. This disease is basically when a person loses their ability to remember and think clearly. Seventh is diabetes, which causes many people to die because it can easily lead to heart disease and other very fatal diseases. The eighth is influenza, which can become fatal by pneumonia. Kidney disease comes in ninth, with suicide as the tenth leading cause of death. All of these causes of death occur often in our world today, but mainly in the United States. We must not fear these diseases and problems, but trust God and know that his plan for our life is perfect. <ref>Nichols, Hannah.
