Clinical death is the medical term for cessation of blood circulation and breathing, the two necessary criteria to sustain human and many other organisms' lives.
It occurs when the heart stops beating in a regular rhythm, a condition called cardiac arrest.
Brain injuries start to accumulate almost immediately after Clinical Death.
Full recovery of the brain after more than 3 minutes of clinical death at normal body temperature is rare.
Usually brain damage or later brain death results after longer intervals of clinical death even if the heart is restarted and blood circulation is successfully restored.
Although loss of function is almost immediate, there is no specific duration of clinical death at which the non-functioning brain clearly dies.
The most vulnerable cells in the brain, CA1 neurons of the hippocampus, are fatally injured by as little as 10 minutes without oxygen.
However, the injured cells do not actually die until hours after resuscitation.
Brain failure after clinical death is now known to be due to a complex series of processes called Reperfusion Iinjury that occur after blood circulation has been restored, especially processes that interfere with blood circulation during the recovery period.
Hope this helps!!!

True breeding is when the plants are allowed to self-pollinate, the organism will produce a product identical to themselves
Allow the blue flower to self pollinate with another blue flower, making the offspring a true blue flower
Plant cells have vacuoles and these can either store useful products or waste products. The cell can get ride of the waste by bringing it to the cell membrane and then the cell membrane closes around the garbage. All of this is possible because of the vacuoles.
One degree of latitude equals approximately 364,000 feet (69 miles), one minute equals 6,068 feet (1.15 miles), and one-second equals 101 feet. One-degree of longitude equals 288,200 feet (54.6 miles), one minute equals 4,800 feet (0.91 mile), and one second equals 80 feet.
Sex<span> is determined by two chromosomes, X and Y. A female is XX, a male is XY. Since women completely lack the Y choromosome, they always contribute an X chromosome to the baby. The </span>sex<span> is determined by whether the sperm that fertilizes the egg is carrying another X or a Y.</span>
