Decay


 * 1) Define __decay__**
 * To break down into component parts; rot

After a body has been embalmed, it takes longer for that body to decompose. Think of embalming like a preservative but it is not permanent. It's only a delay to the process.
 * 2) How is __decay__ related to embalming or other practices related to embalming?**

I found it interesting how many different definitions go along with this term. They are all different whether it's talking about Biology, Physics, Electronics, Aerospace, and Pathology. I also think it's amazing how a body decays. The process is just incredible; just like everything else that goes along with the human body.
 * 3) What do you find interesting about __decay__?**

It is important to this class because it deals with radioactive decay. And it also allows us to know how a body will act chemically after decay has already started.
 * 4) Why is __decay__ important to this class?**

No. As far as I've found, I understand what decay is.
 * 5) Is there anything that you don't understand about __decay__?**
