- Rigor mortis: stiffening of the body 2-4 hours after death
- Algor mortis: gradual decrease of the body's temperature until it reaches room temperature
- Livor mortis: discoloration of the surrounding tissues due to the release of Hgb; appears in lowermost parts or dependent areas of the body
Development of Concept of Death
- Infancy:
- 5 years old: does not understand the concept of death, believes death is temporary and reversible
- 5-9 years old: understands death as the inevitable end of life, begins to understand own mortality

- Substantia gelatinosa: a gate in the spinal cord that controls pain perception
- Gate is open: stimulus is transmitted, pain is perceived
- Gate is close: pain stimulus is blocked, no pain is perceived
Pain Theories
- Affect theory: pain is emotional and intensity
- Parallel processing model: psychology/neurologic of the pain sensation and cognitive emotional properties
- Factors influencing pain experience: anxiety, fear, and past experiences
Types of Pain
