Organisms must maintain what type of internal environment?
Oxygen. But an organism will not survive long on just oxygen.
How can you distinguish between a brain injury caused by hyponatremia and a brain injury caused by anoxia or hypothermia or bypass?
Hyponatremia occurs when there is a serious deficiency of sodium in the blood. Blood tests would be able to detect whether this is the problem.Anoxic brain injury is the result of a major lack of oxygen to the brain. When the brain doesn't receive proper amounts of glucose and oxygen, nerves in the cortex where cells originate are damaged. It takes about five minutes for lack of oxygen to permanently damage the brain. Anoxic brain injury causes diffuse damage, meaning that it causes damage throughout the brain. Causes of Anoxic Brain Injury There are three types of anoxic brain injury. Anemic anoxia is a result of blood that doesn't carry enough oxygen. Toxic anoxia is caused by toxins that block oxygen in the blood from being used. Anoxic anoxia occurs when no oxygen is supplied to the brain. Common causes of all three types include: * Respiratory arrest * Drowning * Heart attack * Carbon monoxide inhalation * Poisoning Symptoms of Anoxic Brain Injury While symptoms will vary based upon the area of the brain that's affected, common signs of anoxic brain injury include: * Cognitive issues * Weakness in arms and legs * Lack of coordination; abnormal movements * Visual problems * Emotional and behavioral problems Prognosis for Anoxic Brain Injury Degree and rate of recovery is highly dependent upon individual circumstances. The amount of time spent unconscious or in a coma, as well as how much is recovered within the first month, are good indicators of long-term recovery.http://www.brainandspinalcord.org/traumatic-brain-injury-types/anoxic-brain-injury/index.html
How long does it take for plants to die due to lack of oxygen?
forever.... cause plnts needs carbon dioxide.....
Why does your body needs oxygen?
Because your body uses oxygen to produce energy and without energy you cannot move, grow etc. Oxygen is essential for the muscles, because it stops them from rubbing together, which damages them, and of course, heating up excessively. We all know what its like when we get cramps in our muscles, either from excessive exercise or just plain ol old age. Oxygen is a kind of lubricant for them. When the Brain is staved of or even restricted of sufficient amounts of Oxygen the cells electrons, which is our memories and thought patterns and auto executed programmed reactions like heart beat, and in the brain the lack of oxygen can start to let these electrons to start to touch each other and if this happens for too long the brain will short out and first the mind will get memory loss and then body functions and then if the brain goes for too long without Oxygen the brain will not be able to function anymore and the body will dies. So, breathe deeply, it's the Gas of life in more was than you can imagine! Strangulation stops that oxygen to the brain and within 4 to 6 minutes you will die. Not from the lungs but from the oxygen rich blood in the Jugular vein's. By Roy Savill FB
How many days will a plant survive without oxygen?
In theory. They 'inhale' Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and 'exhale' Oxygen (O2). To improve the above statement... since plants "inhale" Carbon Dioxide which is made up of one molecule of Carbon and 2 of Oxygen, plants can not live without oxygen because without oxygen there would be no carbon dioxide in the first place. So my final answer is NO! Plants can not live without oxygen! ***WORLD PEACE*** :) smoking kills...
How long can the brain go without oxygen to where you wont wake up?
The brain can survive for up to about six minutes after the heart stops. The reason to learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is that if CPR is started within six minutes of cardiac arrest, the brain may survive the lack of oxygen. After about six minutes without CPR, however, the brain begins to die.
How long after heart stops is a person brain dead?
The brain can survive for up to about six minutes after the heart stops. The reason to learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is that if CPR is started within six minutes of cardiac arrest, the brain may survive the lack of oxygen. After about six minutes without CPR, however, the brain begins to die.
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 to hold a concentrate THC hit?
For as long as you feel comfortable. Holding your breath too long can kill your brain cells due to lack of oxygen flow to your brain. Your lungs will tell you when it's been long enough.
Will brain cells die due to holding breath?
Yes they will. After about 4 minutes brain cells will start dying due to the lack of oxygen. It is highly unrecommended to hold your breath that long.
Why is holding your breath for as long as possible dangerous?
Holding your breath for a long period of time is dangerous because, you may pass out because your brain shuts down from the lack of oxygen.
How long the ants can survive in an airtight container?
An ant will only be able to survive a few hours in an airtight container due to lack of oxygen. It also will not have access to any food sources while they are in the container.
What is traumatic shock?
Traumatic shock is a condition that occurs when a person has been severely injured. This usually happens when there is severe blood loss or a long lack of oxygen to the brain.
Is Amnesia genetic?
No, it is not genetic because Amnesia is usually caused by a blow to the head, stokes, brain inflammation, lack of adequate amount of oxygen to the brain, long-term alcohol abuse, tumors in areas of the brain that controls memory, degenerative brain disease, and ingestion of toxic substances that harm brain.
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.
