Answer: An adults brain requires around 20% of the body's oxygen.

Explanation: Because the brain uses about 25 percent of your oxygen intake, supplying it with enough oxygen is essential. For people with chronic lung diseases, getting enough oxygen is difficult. When the brain doesn't receive the amount of oxygen it needs, cerebral hypoxia can occur.

Answer:

20% of the body's oxygen supply.

Explanation:

The brain represents just 2% of a person's body weight, yet it uses about 20% of the body's oxygen supply. Without it, the brain can't perform even the most basic functions. The brain relies on glucose to power the neurons that control everything from conscious functions like planning and thought to automatic, unconscious processes like managing heart rate and digestion.

How can parents raise boys and girls to have equal power relatios?
77julia77 [94]
Parents often make the mistake that all their children have close personalities, but in truth, it is not so. For example one child may excel in sports while another boy in the family loves to read or draw and the same goes for the girls. [ There is always a leader of the pack (more than two children) and there will always be some discord, but if they are taught to communicate with each other and with their parents as far as what is right or wrong they will settle in and as they get older they will mature and most get along just fine even if they have their own individual personalities. Some families have a 'Panel' or 'Family Meeting' when there is too much discord and all sit down and discuss the problem and come to some agreement in a calm way. There should also be house rules and all the children should have chores to do around the house. ]
