Why cant a person live without the heart?
Because the heart works to pump blood throughout our body. No blood, no life. Your heart stops working, our brain, which allows us to do everything we do, would die along with the rest of our body which is entirely dependent on the brain. The brain being quite dependent on how the heart beats, having it beat properly.
Why do you die if your heart stops beating?
Yes, but only for a short time. You can stay alive for 3 minutes after your heart stopped beating. 3 minutes is all you get. So live close to a hospital in case when you get old.:)
Why is systemic circulation regarded as a greater circulation?
Systemic circulation is also regarded as a greater circulation because it sends oxygenated blood to the cells of the body and takes de-oxygenated blood from the cells to the heart, Therefore the cells will live longer.
How does the brain live?
The brain lives when it has a constant supply of blood glucose and oxygen.
Why systemic circulation is also regarded as a greater circulation?
Systemic circulation is also regarded as a greater circulation because it sends oxygenated blood to the cells of the body and takes de-oxygenated blood from the cells to the heart, Therefore the cells will live longer.
Life stops when circulation stops?
No. However, the brain cannot live very long without oxygenated blood. When the circulatory system stops, the brain has about 2 minutes until irreversible damage, and 4 minutes until death. P.S. This is not the best time to make piece with your God. Better take action now, and start by donating a 'small' donation towards my cause 'to make my life easier'. I'll put in a good word for you, unless you get anxious and get there before me. Idiot. Should have waited, it only took me 3 minutes to answer this, and I should have about 1 minute left. Than...

Why is CPR so critical?
The first and for most reason is that the brain begins to suffer brain damage after 4-6 minuets without oxygen. The main way oxygen gets to your brain is through your blood stream. The thing that moves the blood to your brain is your heart. If your heart stops pumping, then you go brain dead after 4-6 because of lack of O2. There fore, if you start CPR right away, then the leftover oxygen that is in the blood stream can get pumped to the brain and keep it alive until electricity can be applied (i.e. AED) or other interventions. If your brain dies, and you live, what have you really saved?
