How phones kill your brain?

What happens when oxygen is cut off from the brain?
When oxygen is cut off from the brain, brain cells begin to die within minutes, resulting in permanent brain damage or death. Lack of oxygen to the brain can cause symptoms such as confusion, dizziness, and loss of consciousness. Immediate medical attention is necessary to restore oxygen supply and prevent irreversible damage.
Why is brain death irreversible?
Brain death is irreversible because once the brain has reached a state where all functions have permanently ceased, there is no capability for recovery or regeneration. The extensive damage to the brain's vital structures and functions is not compatible with sustaining life, resulting in permanent cessation of all brain activity.
What Four kinds of injuries that shaking a baby can cause?
brain damage, neck damage, broken bones and even death
What happens to your brain if you flat line for 5 minutes?
If the brain is deprived of oxygen for 5 minutes (flat line), it can lead to irreversible brain damage. Prolonged lack of oxygen can cause brain cells to die, potentially resulting in long-term cognitive impairments or even brain death. Immediate medical intervention and resuscitation efforts are crucial to prevent permanent damage.
Can a severe blow to the head cause brain damage?
A severe blow to the head can definitely cause brain damage. It can cause swelling, which can ultimately lead to death. I know someone that this happened to.
