 | | <<b>bb>>Somaticb>bb>> death is characterized by the discontinuance of cardiac activity and respiration, and eventually leads to the death of all body cells from lack of oxygen, although for approximately six minutes after <<b>bb>>somaticb>bb>> death—a period referred to as clinical death—a person whose vital organs have not been damaged may be revived. | | | Death may involve the organism as a whole (<<b>bb>>somaticb>bb>> death) or may be confined to cells and tissues within the organism. | | | Causes of death in human beings include injury, acute or chronic disease, and neoplasia (cancer). |

| | The extent of <<b>bb>>somaticb>bb>> damage in humans depends on the part of the body exposed as well as on the age of the individualthe younger the individual, the more susceptible he or she will be to significant <<b>bb>>somaticb>bb>> damage. | | | Effects of <<b>bb>>somaticb>bb>> radiation damage include reddening of the skin, loss of hair, ulceration, fibrosis of the lungs, the formation of holes in tissue, a reduction of white blood cells, and the induction of cataracts in the eyes. | | | <<b>bb>>Somaticb>bb>> damage (also called radiation sickness) refers to damage to cells that are not associated with reproduction. |

| | Transposable DNA elements and life history traits. I. Transposition of P DNA elements in <<b>bb>>somaticb>bb>> cells reduces the lifespan of Drosophila melanogaster. |
| | This reduction in lifespan observed in males with somatically active P elements is probably due to genetic damage in embryos, larvae and pupae from P-element excisions and insertions, leading to changes in gene structure and regulation, chromosome breakage, and subsequent cell death in adults. | | | As an initial study of the influence of transposable DNA elements on life history traits, and as a model system for estimating the impact of <<b>bb>>somaticb>bb>> genetic damage on longevity, the effect of P DNA element movement in <<b>bb>>somaticb>bb>> cells on adult lifespan was measured in Drosophila melanogaster males. | | | This hypothesis is supported in this study by a significant increase in recessive sex-linked lethal mutations in the same males that had reduced lifespans and by the previous observation of chromosome breakage in <<b>bb>>somaticb>bb>> cells of similar males. |

| | Suicidal incidents often are preceded by behavioral changes (eg, despondent mood, low self-esteem, sleep and appetite disturbances, inability to concentrate, truancy from school, <<b>bb>>somaticb>bb>> complaints, suicidal preoccupation), which often bring the child or adolescent to the physician's office. | | | The suicide rate for children between ages 5 and 14 continues to be much lower but represents minimum incidence figures because official designation of a death as suicide generally requires proof of intent. | | | Suicide has increased among children, at least among boys, and particularly among adolescents (2nd only to accidents as the leading cause of death). |

| | In multicellular organisms, mutations can be subdivided into germline mutations, which can be passed on to progeny and <<b>bb>>somaticb>bb>> mutations, which (when accidental) often lead to the malfunction or death of a cell and can cause cancer. | | | The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of that species. | | | Mutations are permanent, transmissible changes to the genetic material (usually DNA or RNA) of a cell, and can be caused by "copying errors" in the genetic material during cell division and by exposure to radiation, chemicals, or viruses, or can occur deliberately under cellular control during processes such as meiosis or hypermutation. |
