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

1 answer:

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.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The two main parts of the nervous system are the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system is made of nerves that diverge from the spinal cord and spread throughout the body. The main functions of the nervous system are:

1. Sensory Input (The data your brain gathers from touching, smelling, tasting, etc.}

2. Motor Input (The signals your brain sends to your body parts that makes them move, eventually turning into motor output)

3. Information Processing (The act of processing information and triggering an appropriate reaction - For example, if you saw something coming towards you and you flinch)
