The brain uses about half of the oxygen taken in.

Actually the real answer is because the brain is extremely sensitive to changes in its circulatory supply. An interruption of circulation for several seconds will produce unconsciousness and after 4 minutes there may be some permanent brain damage.

Why do brain cells die when your lungs stop working?

Every cell of our body must need supply of oxygen to maintain its activities. Brain cells are most senstive cells of body.If these cells does not supply with oxygen,ultimately these would die


How do tissues get the oxygen they need for energy production?

The tissues get oxygen from oxygenated blood supply for energy production.


Oxyhemoglobin in the blood will give up or release oxygen when?

I t will release Oxygen when the brain contracts to a different dimension. e Hemoglobin is an important component in the way that the brain works. 80% of the Oxygen processed by the brain stands alone in the Arterial section of the brain. The brain needs the blood to process information to other parts of the body. Our feet need oxygen so that we can walk in the same way our brains need oxygen to process a daily percentage of Clomsyness to process the resiual of the brain. A human being has 60 % in their body and 40 % is body mass.


Because it cannot be recycled ecosystem need a constant supply of?

nutrients to support the growth and functioning of organisms within it. These nutrients are cycled through the ecosystem via processes such as decomposition, nutrient uptake by plants, and consumption by animals. Without a constant supply of nutrients, the ecosystem's productivity and biodiversity could decline.


Why do cancer cells need to become angiogenic?

Just like regular cells, cancer cells also need nourishment to grow. This nourishment is available though blood supply. Since cancer cells grow as an irregular mass, most often, there is no blood supply to certain regions of the cancer cell mass (also known as a tumor) Therefore, these tumors redirect the growth of blood vessels to help them get blood supply

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.


Why does the brain need a constant supply of oxygen and glucose?

The brain needs a constant supply of oxygen and glucose to function optimally because these nutrients are crucial for producing energy through a process called cellular respiration. Without oxygen, brain cells cannot generate ATP (energy), and without glucose, the brain lacks a primary source of fuel for its energy demands. Adequate oxygen and glucose supply also ensure proper neurotransmitter production and overall brain health.

Does blood flow the slowest in the fingers lungs brain or kidneys?

Blood flows slowest in the fingers because it is the most distal (furthest away from body) structure of the four. The other three are vital organs that need a constant supply of blood and are relatively closer to the heart compared to the fingers. By the time it gets to the fingers, it doesn't have as much driving force


Does the brain need blood to survive?

yes the brain can think with the blood flowing smoothly


How is the brain is kept alive by the circulatory system?

Almost none. It does control its own flow, and it will speed the heart in anticipation of need, but that does not effect the actual flow of blood.

How much oxygen does the brain need to stay conscious?

The brain requires a constant supply of oxygen to function properly. As a general guideline, the brain needs about 20% of the body's total oxygen consumption to stay conscious. Any significant drop in oxygen levels can lead to impaired brain function or loss of consciousness.
