I think the correct term to fill in the blanks would be glycerol phosphate electron shuttle. This shuttle is responsible of transporting agents that are reducing into the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Since NADH cannot enter, it is reduced so that the electrons could go in to the transport chain.
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 air that is inside a ship is much less dense than water. That's what keeps it floating! ... As a ship is set in water, it pushes down and displaces an amount of water equal to its weight
All living organisms need to take substances from their environment to obtain energy, to grow and to stay healthy
An enormous rift in one of Antarctica’s largest ice shelves grew
dramatically over the past month, and a chunk nearly the size of
Delaware could break away as soon as later this winter, British
scientists reported this week.
If
this happens, it could accelerate a further breakup of the ice shelf,
essentially removing a massive cork of ice that keeps some of
Antarctica’s glaciers from flowing into the ocean.
