Answer:
1 Blood flow decreases
2 A switch to anaerobic respiration
3 Lactic acid is generated
4 Change in pH
5 Membrane pumps fail
6 Cells cease to function
Step-by-step explanation:
The cerebral ischemic cascade begins with the consumption of the few energy reserves that are quickly depleted. Then, the anaerobic process of cellular respiration for the production of energy, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is developed. However, this process produces an unsatisfactory amount of ATP and the formation of a large amount of lactate, which will increase the number of hydrogen ions (H +), and consequently reduce the pH of the nerve cell, thus initiating the injury process.
