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

Biology

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 goal of science is to explain natural phenomena .true or false
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

False, science aims to explain and understand. Science as a collective institution aims to produce more and more accurate natural explanations of how the natural world works, what its components are, and how the world got to be the way it is now.

What is the last structure of the brain to complete its growth process?
Naddika [18.5K]
I believe Cortex is the last structure of the brain to complete its growth process. Surrounding the brain is the Cerebral cortex which resembles a half shelled walnut, it is the largest, most complex brain structure which accounts for 85% of the brain's weight, containing the greatest number of neurons and synapses, and responsible for the unique intelligence. It is the last brain structure to stop growing, it is sensitive to environmental influences for a much longer period than any other part of the brain.

explain two ways in which changes on the earth's surface are connected to changes below the earth's surface. Support your answer
Lena [83]

Answer:

It depends on the temperature under earth's surface for the land movement on the surface (for example earthquakes happen from the pressure and movement of tectonic plates). When gravity pulls down rocks inside the layers a new seafloor spreads on the surface.

The structure of the cell membrane was discovered in 1895 by _________. finding a similarity to olive oil, he discovers membrane
Sidana [21]

In 1895, Ernest Overton proposed that cell membranes were made of lipids

According to the lipid bilayer theory, which Gorter and Grendel put forth in 1925, the cell membrane bilayer structure can be described using crystallographic research and observations of soap bubbles.

<h3>What is Cell membrane ?</h3>

All cells have a cell membrane, also known as a plasma membrane, which separates the interior of the cell from the external environment.

  • A semipermeable lipid bilayer makes up the cell membrane. The movement of materials into and out of the cell is controlled by the cell membrane.
  • Biological membranes serve three main purposes. First, they prevent harmful substances from entering the cell. Second, they have receptors and channels that let certain molecules, like ions, nutrients, wastes, and metabolic products,
  • Third, they divide metabolic processes that are necessary but incompatible that take place within organelles.
