PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Strangulation is when someone causes you to have problems breathing by using part of their body or an object on your neck. Suffocation is when someone covers your mouth and nose to prevent breathing. Common ways of strangulation or suffocation are: using two hands around the victim’s neck.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asphyxiation, also called asphyxia or suffocation, is when the body doesn’t get enough oxygen. Without immediate intervention, it can lead to loss of consciousness, brain injury, or death.

Detailed explanation-3: -Strangulation occurs when external pressure on the neck obstructs blood vessels and air passages. Vessels become occluded at much lower external pressures than the airway, so the majority of strangulations are due to compromise of blood flow to the head rather than actual airway compression.
