Brain death can occur rapidly as cells begin to die off without any oxygen stores or new oxygen circulating to the brain.

Elanso [62]3 years ago

Answer:

Brain cells start to die if they go without oxygen for just 3-4 minutes and that's exactly what happens during a stroke.

Explanation:

Stroke is an abrupt interruption of constant blood flow to the brain that causes loss of neurological function. The interruption of blood flow can be caused by a blockage, leading to the more common ischemic stroke, or by bleeding in the brain, leading to the more deadly hemorrhagic stroke.

Brain imaging studies consistently show that ptsd is correlated with smaller _______ volume in the brain.
Dafna1 [17]

Correct answer: Hippocampal

Brain imaging, structural or functional helps us to study the structure and functions of the brain and other parts of the nervous system. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder affects a network of brain areas, like hippocampus, amygdala, cingulate, and prefrontal cortex. In PTSD, the concentrations of corticotropin- releasing factors increases in the cerebrospinal fluids. This stress also leads to the change in the volume and functions of hippocampus, which has a crucial role in memory.

C3 fracture resulting in loss of sensation and inability to move arms and legs is known as what type of paralysis?
adell [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is quadriplegia.

Explanation:

The paralysis of both the legs and arms has been known as quadriplegia. The main reason for quadriplegia is the injury to the spinal cord, however, other conditions like strokes and cerebral palsy can also result in similar paralysis. The degree of damage depends upon the part of the spinal cord injured and the amount of destruction done.  

With the injury to the spinal cord, the brain loses the tendency to communicate with it and so the movement and sensation get impaired. Quadriplegia takes place when the region of the neck of the spinal cord gets injured like a C3 fracture. An extreme spinal cord injury may obstruct the process of breathing and hampers the movement of limbs.  

An individual with complete quadriplegia loses the tendency to move any part of the body underneath the neck, even some are not able to move their neck.

Imagine that a biologist deposits 50 isopods on the surface of the leaf litter in a forest. the back ofeach isopod is marked wit
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The isopods will be found under the leaf litter.

Explanation:

Isopods are crustaceans and they live in freshwater, marine water or on land. The forms of isopods that are found on land mostly prefer the cool and moist environment.

As the biologist will leave them on leaf litter, they will crawl to the area under the leaf because the area under the leaf litter is relatively cool and moist and there they can get an environment which is suitable for their living. Thus when the biologist will come after one hour, most of the isopods will be found under the leaf litter.
