When some one is brain-dead, their circulatory and resiratory functions are still active, but the brain is inactive. Cardiac Death- the heart is stopped- no blood circulates, youu get buried.

What center of the medulla oblongata initiates autonomic output to the heart?
No, it controls the cardiac center, but it is actually located in the brain.
Regulator of blood flow?
The medulla oblongatta of the brain stem is the cardiac center that controls blood flow.
What are the symptoms of being struck by lightning?
Some symptoms include: -ear drums burst -cardiac arrest -deafness -blindness -memory loss - seizures -burns -depression -personality changes because of injuries to the brain -Death Hope this helped:)
Condition in which brain no longer functions?
Death
Can you go into cardiac arrest more than once in about a week and survive?
Yes, if you are revived quickly enough, you can survive without brain damage.
What is cardiac necrosis?
Cardiac Necrosis is the death of cardiac tissue.
Is cardiac muscle in the brain?
The only Cardiac muscle in the body is the Heart.
Why brain death occurs exactly 3 minutes after the cardiac arrest?
With the heart not beating anymore, oxygenated blood will no longer be pumped to the brain. This in term will slowly starve to death of oxygen, this, in most cases, is around the three minute mark.
What is cardiac death?
"Cardiac arrest" better known as a heart attack.
Once breathing has stoped and the heart has stoped beating brain death starts in how many minutes?
Brain death can't be determined if the heart has already stopped, this would be considered cardiac death. Brain death is determined when someone is on a ventilator (not breathing on their own due to injury or illness) and an EEG or other procedure has been completed and shows no signs of brain activity. The body will continue to "live" with the help of the ventilator oxygenating the organs, but when taken off the ventilator then the body has no impulse to breathe for itself due to the brain being dead.
What kind of Cardiac conditions can result from a damaged medulla?
One possibility is death because the medulla oblongatta is considered the cardiac center. Without it, or if it is damaged severely can lead to cardiac failure and death.
What happens if a person does not get a pacemaker who needs it?
Cardiac arrythmias.. Sometimes life threatening cardiac arrythmias. Inneficient cardiac out put and death.
What can cause sudden cardiac death?
An infarct.
How is sudden cardiac death described?
When the heart suddenly stops beating effectively and breathing ceases, a person is said to have experienced sudden cardiac death.
What is the most rapid mechanism of death?
There is some legal dispute as to the definition of "death." This answer focuses on the anatomical definition of brain death: Death has occurred once the brain ceases to generate any neuronal activity. The fastest mechanism of death, then, would be any injury that destroys the critical centers of the brain. The brainstem plays a significant role in maintaining consciousness and controlling cardiac and respiratory functions, so devastating injury to the brain stem could cause immediate death. Any global injury to the brain, such as diffuse axonal injury, can cause a coma or death; the most severe of these injuries can cause immediate death. Of course, the most rapid mechanism of death would be the immediate and total destruction of the critical life tissues. For example, a large proximal explosion could immediately destroy the entire brain, thus causing instantaneous death.
What center of the medulla oblongata initiates autonomic output to the heart?

Can diarrhoea lead to death?
True
