Explanation:

Question 10 (Filling the Blanks)

For the first blank (the main category of what autopsy can determine), common autopsy - determined causes include natural causes (like heart failure, disease, death during sleep), homicidal causes (killing of a human; murder), suicidal causes (intentionally taking one’s own life), and accidental causes (if it can be avoided an investigation will take place, e.g., safety guard left off machinery) and cases where the cause is unknown (autopsy required). So we fill in the blanks with these types of causes.

The autopsy can determine different types of conditions related to the body. The first blank is the general term for what the autopsy determines, which is "cause of death" or more specifically the "manner of death" - related conditions. Then we fill in the blanks with the given conditions: anoxia (loss of oxygen to the body), trauma (damage to organs from trauma like beat with a tire - iron), hemorrhage (excessive loss of blood or damage to organs), and asphyxia (lack of oxygen; water in lungs and stomach).

Answer:

• First blank (general category): Cause of death
• Second blank: Natural causes
• Third blank: Homicide
• Fourth blank: Suicide
• Fifth blank: Accident
• Sixth blank: Cause
