Why is the lack if of oxygen in the brain cell able to cause death?
Cells anywhere in the body (especially in the brain) will die if deprived of oxygen enriched blood for long.
Why is the brain located so close to both the heart and lungs?

Why does the blood leaving most organs in the brain have less oxygen than when it entered the brain?
The blood leaving most organs in the brain has less oxygen because the brain consumes a significant amount of oxygen and nutrients. As the blood flows through the brain, oxygen and other nutrients are extracted by the brain cells for their metabolic needs. This results in a decrease in oxygen content in the blood leaving the brain.
Does CPR continue to supply oxygen to the brain?
