Hypoxic Ischemic encephalopathy, or damage to the brain by not having enough oxygen, starts to occur in about 3 to 4 minutes. This brain damage is not reversible and occurs in drowning victims, and also victims of cardiac arrest, suffocation, drug overdose and so forth...
In cold water drowning, a unique event occurs: the cold water (58 degree water or colder) triggers the mammalian diving reflex, a naturally occurring reflex in all mammals - including man - which prepares the body to shut down in an orderly fashion. It's this specific reflex that delays brain damage in cold water drowning victims.
Please see additional information in the discussion section of how to trigger this reflex and delay brain damage in heart attack victims.
Your body goes into reflex mode, the blood is drawn into the body core and the body itself goes into a sort of shock, all of your main organs slow down. Also the oxygen in your blood keeps the vital organs warm
The sudden reduction of body temperature can reduce essential body functions, such as respiration pace. This is called hypothermia, (not to be confused with hyperthermia).
In hypothermia, body temperature drops below that required for normal metabolism and bodily functions. In humans, this is usually due to excessive exposure to cold air or water, but it can be deliberately induced as a medical treatment. Symptoms usually appear when the body's core temperature drops by 1-2 °C (1.8-3.6 °F) below normal temperature.
It is a proven science that the body when subjected to this cold, slows down all activities as an act of preservation.
Most recently, a diver who lost contact with an underwater air supply in cold water, who relied upon an emergency oxygen source which was designed to last twenty minutes, extended this time to forty minutes before being rescued. Medical scientists are suggesting this may have been a direct result of the intense cold the individual experienced.
Perhaps in warm water, they would sink more quickly, due to density.
They store water. They do not have leaves. Their pores only open at night.
The seed is incased in a seed coat that is very protective and the embryo within the seed is dormant, meaning that the seed is able to survive long periods without food or water.
Janice just wanted to survive the wedding. Phoebe had to survive on the streets of New York. The salmon had to survive the swim upstream. The monkey had to survive in a tree eating bananas.
That is because trees roots are longer, and its circumference is bigger than grass roots therefore, able to take in more mineral salts, nutrients and vitamins.
If they CAN survive without oxygen, they are called facultative anaerobes. In other words, these can survive with or without oxygen.If they CAN ONLY survive if there is no oxygen, they are callled obligate anaerobes. In other words, these can only survive if there is no oxygen.
There have been many incidents where minors have had to survive by themselves for prolonged periods of time. My guess is yes, if you have the experience needed.

No toad lives exclusively underground but many species will hibernate or estivate underground. Hibernation is where climate temperatures become unfavorably cold and the species has to shut itself down for prolonged periods of time in order to survive. Estivation is where climate temperatures become unfavorably hot or dry and the species has to shut itself down for prolonged periods of time in order to survive.
You can not put tropical fish in coldwayter bevause they need hot water to survive but you can put goldfish in coldwater becaue they are coldwater fish
they kill themselves by drowning them
I think they can because I have the "plant darkness thing" project and it kept on growing and growing until I watered it and it snapped Santa loves u and I do to!!!!!!!!!!!
People can survive by boarding a life boat.
Dolphins have helped drowning people to survive.
No. They can survive on land for short periods, but they do not have legs.
Endospores
Sead Coat
Their protective coverings.
Mollies are tropical fish and should be kept above 70F. Goldfish are coldwater fish and should be kept below 70F. They should NEVER be kept together.
