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 proteceted by the cranium?
The brain is protected by the cranium, which is the skull bone that encases and surrounds the brain, providing it with a protective barrier against injury or trauma.
Where is the brain least protected?
The brain is least protected at the base of the skull, specifically at the bottom of the skull where it meets the spinal column. This junction is where the spinal cord enters the skull and is more vulnerable to injury compared to the top and sides of the brain.
What are some things that can result from an injury on your brain?
There two main categories for brain injuries are traumatic and acquired brain injury. Within these categories, here are five possible injuries: Traumatic includes concussions and shaken baby syndrome. Acquired brain injury is created by a loss of oxygen from such things as choking, electrical shock and trauma to the head.
Does your brain float in liquid?
yes. it was the cerebrospinal fluid that makes it possible and it is protected by the skull.
What protects the brain from infection and shock?
Cerebrospinal fluid protects the brain from shock and infection. This is a clear fluid that flows around the hollow spaces of the brain and in between the two meninges.
What is the difference between brain injury and brain damage?
The difference is that one can have a brain injury and not have brain damage. Essentially, brain damage is caused by injury or trauma to the brain. However, not every injury to the brain will cause brain damage.

What is it like to squish your brain?
Squishing your brain would likely cause severe injury or even death. The brain is a delicate organ protected by the skull, and any compression or distortion can disrupt its normal functioning, leading to serious consequences. It is crucial to prioritize brain safety and avoid any activities that can harm it.
What is particularly sensitive to injury during states of shock or cardiopulmonary arrest?
There are several organs that are particularly sensitive to injury during low perfusion states such as hypovolemic shock or cardiopulmonary arrest. These organs are the ones that also tend to have high perfusion rates, such as the brain and kidneys.
What are the two basic types of amnesia and how they are different?
Can be defined as 'partial or total loss of memory, usually resulting from shock, psychological disturbance, brain injury, or illness.' Two types are: Anterograde- 'The inability to learn and store new memories after a brain injury. Memories before the injury can be recalled.' Retrograde- This refers to loss of memory of events before the injury
How does the brain send shock waves to your muscles?
Your brain does not send shock waves to your muscles.
