how the cause of death came about (examples) MANNER OF DEATH accident, homicide, natural, suicide
physiological event produced by a disease which caused the death such as bleeding, cardiac arrest MECHANISM OF DEATH
absence of health, condition of the body other then normal DISEASE
disease accompanied by specific anatomical changes (examples) ORGANIC DISEASE examples: fever, high blood pressure
no readily apparent anatomical structures may be some biological or genetic changes ex: phobias, schizophrenia FUNCTIONAL DISEASE
disease caused by a libing pathogen, may be transmitted from one person to another INFECTIOUS DISEASE
