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

Health
1 answer:
Lynna [10]3 years ago
8 0

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!! :)

Can you answer questions regarding Occupational Therapy. Specifically, synergy patterns after a stroke.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer: Synergy pattern after a stroke occurs when the brain starts relearning how to control the muscle again while the patient is recovering.

Explanation:

Occupational therapy is a field in health care system that helps individuals to reduce any form of functional dependence in daily life which may have occurred due to different illnesses.

Stroke is a condition which occurs when blood flow to the brain is suddenly interrupted, causing hypoxia ( decrease oxygen levels). The effect includes paralysis of a limb or one side of the body and disturbances of speech and vision.

Occupational therapist are trained health care providers that help these patients (for example, stroke patients) develop, recover, improve, as well as maintain the skills needed for daily living.

One of the ways the body recovers after stroke is through synergy patterns. Synergy pattern after a stroke occurs when the brain starts relearning how to control the muscle again while the patient is recovering

A typical example is the flexion synergy patterns which causes an individual to move different parts of the arm at once. A recovering stroke patient can overcome this with the help of an occupational therapist through consistent practice of therapeutic rehab exercises.

What is the difference between tobacco and smokeless tobacco?
ycow [4]
The difference between tobacco and smokeless tobacco is that the smokeless tobacco is something you could chew onto and causes more risk of a heart attack then by smoking tobacco. Tobacco is also dangerous and you would call it secondhand smoking since it’s nothing chewable. And simply just smoking tobacco from 1 to 7 hours could increase a heart attack risk by 24%.
