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.
How long can human be deprived of oxygen?
The average adult can survive without oxygen for up to about five to ten minutes depending on the condition that they are in.
If you inhaled helium would it cause any lasting damage?
Helium is an inert gas, so inhaling it should not cause any damage whatsoever as long as you also receive sufficient oxygen to survive (if you don't, then "death" probably counts as "lasting damage"). A mixture of helium and oxygen is often used by divers going far under the surface of the water, as helium is not very soluble in the blood and hence does not cause the "bends" as a nitrogen-oxygen mix can. Helium, however, contains no oxygen, so you can not breathe it alone indefinitely. Also, your brain might get confused because it "thinks" you inhaled, but you got no oxygen, and that is different than holding your breath.
What is an example of a chemical change that took a long time to occur?
The reaction of hydrogen and oxygen at room temperature.
What do you use chloroform for?
A long time ago it was used by dentists to put people asleep before surgeries but they stopped due to it causing brain damage.
How long does it take to receive brain damage or even die if the the body is not receiving oxygen?
Brain damage start to occur at around 4-6 minutes in someone who's not breathing.
Once breathing stops how long is it until brain damage occurs?
It is roughly around 3 minutes and it depends on the person (i.e. baby, adult...etc.). Brain damage is irreversible no matter how long you are without oxygen. Once brain damage begins you can never regain those cells that have died.
Once heart stops how long is it until brain damage occurs?
There are a lot of variables, but 4 minutes is the usual guideline. Blood carries oxygen, and blood is pumped by the heart. Brain damage occurs after 4 minutes without fresh oxygen to the brain.
How long can a 6 year old child be without oxygen before brain damage occurs?
3-4 minutes.
What happans when you flatline do you get a brain damage?
when you flatline how long before you get brain damage.
How long can a cat brain be without oxygen before damaging the brain?
Even 5 second without air will damage the cat brain. Not mentioning if you cat a zombie. That's do the trick haha.
How long can the go brain without blood?
General medical consensus states that the human brain can go without oxygenated blood for 3 to 5 minutes without suffering major brain damage. After this time has elapsed, the cells in the brain will begin to die from lack of oxygen, resulting in brain damage.
Misdiagnosed brain death if patient is revived from a methadone overdose?
Not really a question. Any overdose may cause death or stop the heart. Depending on how long the event was, there could and probably will be brain damage and if the brain is deprived of oxygen long enough brain death occurs. There can be enough damage that the person is no longer there but the body still functions.
What will happen to a person who loses too much oxygen and is then revived?
You have established in the question that too much oxygen has been lost, so this means that there will be some degree of impairment due to brain damage. How much impairment will depend on how little oxygen the brain received, over how long a period, and on the temperature of the brain.
When you are brain dead how long does the heart stops?
Your Brain will function for at least 6 to 7 minutes after your heart has stopped.
If a person had brain damage from carbon dioxide poison how long willit last?

Would a computer give you brain damage if you are on to long?
No
