The stimuli are processed by the brain. There are specialized regions and cortical networks of neurons that work together in synchrony and harmony which enable you to perceive and process stimuli.

When we first receive stimuli, our sensory nerve cells transmit these to the centres responsible for sensory stimuli decoding, when these are sufficiently decoded and we're aware of what we've perceived either through our eyes or our hearing for example, we then take action with our motor nerve cells which command our limbs; hands, legs, and other muscles around the body.

Meninges are the only structures here which don't really play a role in processing as they are more of a defensive structure for the brain.

The brain is what processes the stimuli.

Sensory nerve cells are what first send the pain signals to the brain, motor nerve cells are the cells that receive the signal for the muscle to move or react to the stimuli and the meninges are the protective covering of the brain.

In your own words, describe how the time required for digestion can be used to determine the time of death.

Paul [167]

Answer: Backdating the time required for food found in the stomach of the deceased to digest. Since digestion can't continue after death.

Explanation: The time taken for food to get digested can be employed to depicts time of death. This process involves understanding the period of time that usually takes the food found in the gastric of the deceased to calculate the time of death.

Different foods has varying time of digestion, so therefore, the gastric content is a good indicator to determine time of death by the doctor who is carrying out autopsy, since digestion does not continue after death.

However, it is established by scientist that food takes up to 4-6hours in the stomach depending on the size and type of food. Hence, if the status of the food found in the deceased stomach is noted accordingly and the time taken requires for digestion is also noted، the doctor can deduce the time of death accordingly from this two points.
