Question

question 58 2 pts why does a person pass out in a few seconds if they get choked out? neck pressure causes the brain to \turn off\ your brain needs blood the occipital lobe gets damaged the pressure is too much

Explanation:

When a person is choked out, the carotid arteries (which supply blood to the brain) are compressed. The brain requires a continuous supply of oxygen - rich blood. Without blood flow (which carries oxygen and nutrients), the brain cannot function properly. In a few seconds, due to the lack of blood (and thus oxygen and nutrients), the person loses consciousness.

• Neck pressure causing the brain to “turn off” is a very vague and incorrect description. The brain doesn't just “turn off” in a simple sense; it's the lack of blood supply that causes the problem.
• The occipital lobe (which is involved in vision) getting damaged is not the immediate cause of passing out when choked. The lack of blood supply to the whole brain (not just the occipital lobe) is the issue.
• “The pressure is too much” is also too vague. It's the pressure on the blood - vessels (carotid arteries) that leads to the lack of blood supply.

Answer:

Your brain needs blood.
