How long does it take for your brain to shut down after dying?

Lynna [10]3 years ago

As technology helps us to live longer, it will also shape how we die. With a higher-brain definition of death, you're gone when your personality is. With a whole-brain definition of death, you've lost the ability to breathe on your own again. Each breath provides the oxygen necessary for survival to the rest of the body. Very simply, dying starts to happen when your body doesn't get the oxygen it needs to survive.

Different cells die at different speeds, so the length of the dying process depends on which cells are deprived of oxygen. The brain requires a tremendous amount of oxygen but keeps very little in reserve, so any cutoff of oxygen to the brain will result in cell death within three to seven minutes; that's why a stroke can kill so quickly.

Hope this helped!! :)

Which statement best describes the effect that stimulants have on your body?
kramer

The right answer is Stimulants speed up the central nervous system

A stimulant is a substance that increases the activity of the sympathetic nervous system facilitating or improving certain functions of the body. Common stimulants include caffeine in tea and coffee, and nicotine in large amounts in tobacco.

Stimulating substances increase the activity of the sympathetic system quite gradually but in a prolonged manner, being distinguished from those having a rather fast but relatively limited exciting effect.

Answer;

The above statement is true

Water is an abiotic factor in terrestrial environments.

Explanation;

-The living things in an ecosystem are called biotic factors. Living things include plants, animals, bacteria, fungi and more. The non living parts of an ecosystem on the other hand, are called abiotic factors. In an ecosystem some abiotic factors are sunlight, temperature atmospheric gases water and soil.

-Water is considered an abiotic factor in terrestrial environments, similar to rocks, wind, or sunshine. While all life on Earth requires water to survive, water itself is not alive and is therefore not considered a biotic factor.
