Why the body needs oxygen?
The brain needs a lot of oxygen. The air goes in your lungs and the oxygen is carried by the blood straight to the brain. Not enough oxygen to the brain = you die.
When the oxygen level in your brain drops and the carbon dioxide level rises what do we do?
Yawn
What would happen if a baby doesn't get enough oxygen?
If a baby does not get enough oxygen it's brain could be damaged or it could die. The same would be true for an adult.
Explain why trauma to the base of the brain is much more dangerous than trauma to the frontal lobes?
Trauma to the base of the brain in more dangerous then trauma to the frontal lobes because of the importance of the structures located there. The Medulla Oblongata is responsible for regulating the autonomic functions in the body such as breathing, heartbeat, and regulating blood pressure.
What causes Hypoxia and what can be done to fix it?
1. too little oxygen in the inhaled air 2. inadequate ventilation (=the chest muscles and diaphragm moving air in and out of the lungs) 3. ventilation/perfusion (=blood flow) mismatch 4. Shunting (venous, unoxygenated blood flows through completely unventilated areas of the lung and mixes with oxygenated blood from functional areas of the lung going into the body - a severe form of no. 3, which doesn't improve much by giving oxygen) 5. inadequent diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the membrane between the air-filled alveoli and the blood (as in severe pneumonia or pulmonary edema) (6. "venous admixure effect" does not cause, but does worsen hypoxia - when the blood flowing into the lungs contains too much carbon dioxide (CO2) for the lungs to clear, as in acute heart failure or septic shock)
Why does morphine causes euphoria or the feeling of high?
Morphine causes a reaction to receptors in the brain causing you to feel dizzy, sleepy and even euphoric.
What causes blackouts?
Lack of oxygen to the brain.
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 are causes of cerebral palsy?
Lack of oxygen to the brain causing brain damage, usually during birth.
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.
Why is carbon dangerous?
Carbon is dangerous as it is enters the body and stays in the hemoglobin. Carbon in the hemoglobin will cause limited oxygen in the blood and into the brain.
What causes every single human death?
Asphyxiation - lack of Oxygen to the brain!
What causes a person to lose consciousness by holding their breath?
Lack of oxygen to the brain.
Possible causes of hypoxia include?
Cardiac arrest is the most common condition that causes cerebral hypoxia. When the heart stops pumping, oxygen-rich blood cannot be delivered to vital organs such as the brain. Hypoxia to the brain causes irreversible brain damage after two minutes.
What is yawning?
When you are sleepy or drowsy the lungs do not take enough oxygen from the air. This causes a shortage of oxygen in our bodies. The brain senses this shortage of oxygen and sends a message that causes you to take a deep long breath---a YAWN.
Why is cell swelling in the brain especially dangerous?
Because there is no-where for the extra swelling to go - since the brain is completely enclosed by a solid skull, any swelling of the tissue causes an increase in the pressure of the surrounding fluid, which causes damage to the brain.
What artery is clogged if you have a stroke?
A stroke is when a clot causes a thrombus (blockage of flow of blood) in the veins of the brain. The brain has multiple arteries that supply it with oxygen.
