Components of Central Nervous System

The Central Nervous System (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord. It acts as the control center, processing information and sending signals to the body.

Components of Peripheral Nervous System

The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) comprises all nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. It connects the CNS to the rest of the body, transmitting signals.

Function of the Heart

The heart is a powerful pump that circulates blood throughout the body. It delivers oxygen and nutrients while removing waste products.

Consequences of Blocked Brain Oxygen

Cutting off oxygen to the brain can result in serious damage or even death. Brain cells are highly sensitive to oxygen deprivation, leading to impaired function.

Necrotic Tissue

Necrotic tissue is dead tissue. It occurs when cells are deprived of oxygen and nutrients for too long, leading to cell death.
