How long does it take for a person's cells to all die after clinical death?

Blababa [14]3 years ago

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!!!

The seven-spotted cockroach is a nocturnal species that burrows under leaf litter during the day.
djyliett [7]

Answer: C. is less likely to be eaten by a predator.

Explanation:

The adult seven-spotted cockroach is the prey of various other insects including beetles so mimicking the pattern of a beetle would send a message that it is a beetle and because the chemical irritant that the beetle has makes it get avoided by others, the cockroach gets avoided by other insects too who don't want to be sprayed.

Of course this does not always work but it works for the most part and ensures the cockroach's survival.

During the human digestion process, digestion is compartmentalized in various organs throughout the digestive system. how does t
GenaCL600 [577]

The human digestion starts in the small intestine gets the most of the nutrients in your food, and your circulatory system passes them on to other parts of your body to store or use.  When food enters the small intestine, villi along the intestine wall along with enzymes help break down the food, and takes a long journey. The stomach is right above the small intestine, and the small intestine is all wrapped around, and isn't that thick. Nutrients from the food are released to the whole body as energy. The small intestine brings the food to the large intestine, which is five feet long and is near your pelvis, or hips. The large intestine connects to the rectum, and then to the anus. In the large intestine, all the water is absorbed as well as salt.

Elephant seals are abundant in their population size but they have low genetic diversity within their species due to overhunting
Anastasy [175]
<h2>Genetic diversity </h2>

Explanation:

If the environment changes, the species runs the risk of not having the genetic diversity to be adaptable to that change and could go extinct

  • Genetic diversity is the diversity  or genetic variability within species
  • The huge variety of different gene sets defines an individual or a whole population's ability to tolerate stress from any given environmental factor
  • While some individuals might be able to tolerate an increased load of pollutants in their environment, others carrying different genes might suffer from infertility or even die under the exact same environmental conditions;the former will continue to live in the environment the latter will either have to leave it or die
  • Any change in the environment - natural or human induced causes a selection of events that only the fittest survive
  • In case of elephant seals,overhunting reduces the sum of genes available,thus leaving behind a population that is less capable of tolerating any further natural or human disturbances in environment
  • The loss of genetic diversity within a species can result in the loss of useful and desirable traits
