Anoxic convulsion refers to a seizure or convulsion that occurs due to lack of oxygen to the brain. It is a medical emergency and can lead to serious complications if not managed promptly. Treatment involves restoring oxygen supply to the brain and addressing the underlying cause.

What depletes oxygen in a body of water?
Decomposition of organic matter by bacteria, excessive algae growth due to nutrient pollution, and low levels of water circulation can deplete oxygen in a body of water. This can lead to anoxic conditions that harm aquatic life.
What are Anoxic conditions?
Anaerobic means able to live without air or oxygen, like some bacteria. One example is botulism. In human metabolism, the term anaerobic applies to ATP use and glycosis to provide energy in the muscle cells. This does not require oxygen, but is rapidly depleted and can result in a buildup of lactic acid in the cells.
What is having to do without oxygen?
When a process or organism doesn't require oxygen it is called anaerobic, or sometimes facultatively anaerobic depending on the specific organism. Another term for without oxygen is anoxic.
The formation of coal and oil?
Formation of CoalAbout 300 million years ago, large areas of the Earth's land area were covered in dense peat swamps. Over time, the peat in the swamps was buried, and forced deep underground. Extreme pressure and heat eventually turned the peat into soft coal, and later some if that became hard coal also as a result of heat and pressure.Formation of OilHundreds of millions of years ago, there were periods of time when carbon dioxide levels rose high enough to cause anoxic (very low oxygen) conditions in areas of the oceans. Algae thrived, but when it died simply sank to the bottom where it didn't decompose. Massive layers of these dead algae built up without rotting and were eventually buried by sediment. As the layers became deeper and deeper, heat and pressure transformed the algae deposits into kerogen (a premature form of oil found in rocks known as oil shale) and later petroleum.
Is pine tar edible?
Do NOT eat pine tar!However, there are many reasonable and old-time uses for it.Pine tar is a sticky material produced by the high temperature carbonization of pine wood in anoxic conditions (dry distillation or destructive distillation). The wood is rapidly decomposed by applying heat and pressure in a closed container; the primary resulting products are charcoal and pine tar.Pine tar consists primarily of aromatic hydrocarbons, tar acids and tar bases. Components of tar vary according to the pyrolytic process (e.g. method, duration, temperature) and origin of the wood (e.g. age of pine trees, type of soil and moisture conditions during tree growth). The choice of wood, design of kiln, burning and collection of the tar can vary. Only pine stumps and roots are used in the traditional production of pine tar.Pine tar has a long history as a wood preservative, as a wood sealant for maritime use, in roofing construction and maintenance, in soaps such as Packer's Pine Tar Soap and in the treatment of carbuncles and skin diseases, such as psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea.But don't eat it, please. It will make you very, very sick. I know it smells good, but put the pine tar jar away now.......
What rhymes with anoxic?
Toxic.
Can plants live in anoxic soil?
Most plants require oxygen for their roots to survive, so anoxic soil (lacking oxygen) can be detrimental to plant growth. However, there are some plant species, like certain wetland plants, that have adaptations to survive in anoxic soil by obtaining oxygen through specialized structures or by relying on other processes for survival.
Does pleurococcus photosynthesise?
yes, anoxic photosynthesis
What is another word for anaerobic?
non-oxygenation
The difference between oxic and anoxic soil?
Soil that contains oxygen is known as oxic soil. On other hand soil which lacks the oxygen is known as anoxic soil
What are the main causes for anoxic brain injury?
The main causes for anoxic brain injury are lack of oxygen to the brain. This can be caused due to drowning, suffocation, shock or autoerotic asphyxiation.
What is without oxygen?
The terms for without oxygen are anaerobic or anoxic.
What is the difference between anoxic and anaerobic condition?
Anoxic conditions refer to environments that lack oxygen, while anaerobic conditions refer to environments where oxygen is absent or present in very low concentrations. Anaerobic conditions can include both anoxic environments and environments with alternative electron acceptors other than oxygen.
Do all of the steps of cellular respiration need oxygen?
No; and those that do not are called anoxic steps.
What is anoxic decomposition?
Anoxic decomposition is a biological process in which a certain group of microorganisms use chemically combined oxygen, such as that found in nitrite and nitrate. The organic matter they consume supports their life functions and nitrogen gas, carbon dioxide, stable solids and more organisms are produced in the process.
What do we call a situation the cells are not receiving enough oxygen?
oxygen deprivation or anoxic (depending on degree)
Can a body of water become anoxic water?
Not completely, but enough to kill any plants or animals that live in it.
