What occurs if the oxygen flow to the body is inadequate?
If this process is inadequate, oxygen levels in the blood decrease, and the patient may need supplemental oxygen.
What happens to an oxygen molecule after it has been breathed in?
When the oxygen molecule is inhaled it causes a slight explosion which forces the air into your lungs and then up through your veins which gives you better blood flow to your brain. Sometimes rare genetic disorders cause these molecules to be deistroyed so they're not able to explode and usually the blood flow is a lot worse in the people that have this disorder. This can be fixed with a simple medication that is taken daily.
How will you describe the sequence of oxygen carbon and blood flow?
Oxygen in & carbon dioxide out. The change occurs within the cells and blood carries the gasses between the lungs and the cells.
How will you describe the sequence of oxygen carbon-dioxide and blood flow?
Oxygen in & carbon dioxide out. The change occurs within the cells and blood carries the gasses between the lungs and the cells.
How will you describe the sequences of oxygen carbon dioxide and blood flow?
Oxygen in & carbon dioxide out. The change occurs within the cells and blood carries the gasses between the lungs and the cells.
How exercise affects memory?
Exercise increases blood flow to the brain. The brain needs oxygen to function, so the more blood flow, the more oxygen, the better the brain works.
The major regulator of regional blood flow in the brain is?
oxygen
Why does an anemic person often have fainting spells?
Anemic people often experience fainting spells because anemia leads to a lack of oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood. This lack of oxygen can cause the brain to receive insufficient oxygen, leading to dizziness and fainting. Fainting spells can occur when the brain does not receive enough blood flow and oxygen to function properly.
What is the cause of brain damage?
Accidents, restricted oxygen to the brain, restricted blood flow to the brain, infection, deformity during its development
What causes the brain to stop functioning?
One cause would be lack of oxygen due to suffocation or lack of blood flow carrying the oxygen to the brain.
What type of stroke results in the decrease of oxygen to the brain?
All types of strokes involve a loss of blood flow to some part of the brain. Since the blood is supplying oxygen to the brain cells, the loss of blood flow results in a loss of oxygen to the affected area of the brain.If the blood flow is not restored quickly, then the resulting loss of oxygen will cause that part of the brain to die.Strokes can affect different parts of the brain and can have different causes.Some examples of stroke types and their causes are:1) Hemorrhagic Strokes are caused by bleeding within the brain cavity. Since the brain is surrounded by the skull, the extra blood can build up pressure on the brain and thus cut off normal blood flow.2) Thrombotic Strokes are caused by a blood clot in an artery. The clot blocks the blood flow to the affected area of the brain.There are other types of strokes from different causes, but in all cases there is a loss of blood flow to some part of the brain and a resulting loss of oxygen to the affected area of the brain.Read more here:http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/stroke/DS00150
Does exercise effect memory capacity?
Excersice increases blood flow, more blood Flow to the brain = increased oxygen= increased energy = increased mental Sharpness! :)
Which disorder occurs when there is a loss of blood flow and in turn oxygen to the brain?
you will have a stroke...................
Why does locking your knees make you pass out?
It blocks the blood flow in your body causing a lack of oxygen to your brain.
How much blood is used by the brain?
Well, 20% of the oxygen we take in our blood is used by the brain. Thus, relatively the same amount of blood would be used by the brain.
What are some of the causes of a mini stroke?
The cause of a mini stroke is the blockage of blood flow to the brain. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain. Blood flow can be disrupted by blood clots or cholesterol plagues. The correct term for mini stroke is transient ischemic attack.
Why does the brain need a continuous supply of blood and oxygen?
The brain needs so much blood because it needs a constant supply of it to keep up with the neurons metabolic demands. 20 percent of the blood that comes from the heart is pumped directly to the brain.
