What stops a living body from decomposing or rotting?
In: Biology
The body does actively break down in way. Cells die and get replaced constantly, but while we are alive we have a waste system in place that takes care of the dead cells. When we die, there’s no replacing dead cells as there’s not nutrients, energy, etc to fuel those process or to sustain living cells so they die at an accelerated rate, along with the help of bacteria and other biological forces.
