What is the name of the problem that happens when brain cells are starved of oxygen and die?
A
Atherosclerosis
B
Heart failure
C
Heart attack
D
Stroke
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cerebral hypoxia is a neurological condition that happens when the brain doesn’t get enough oxygen, even though there is good blood flow.

Detailed explanation-2: -The brain is an organ that cannot store oxygen, so blood vessels deliver oxygen through the blood. A lack of blood supply can cause a stroke, therefore causing surrounding nerve cells to be cut off from nutrients and oxygen. If the brain tissue lacks oxygen for more than three or four minutes, the tissue begins to die.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hypoxic brain injuries are brain injuries that form due to a restriction on the oxygen being supplied to the brain. The restricted flow of oxygen causes the gradual death and impairment of brain cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hypoxia is low levels of oxygen in your body tissues. It causes symptoms like confusion, restlessness, difficulty breathing, rapid heart rate, and bluish skin. Many chronic heart and lung conditions can put you at risk for hypoxia. Hypoxia can be life-threatening.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some brain cells start dying less than 5 minutes after their oxygen supply disappears. As a result, brain hypoxia can rapidly cause severe brain damage or death.
