An average adult has about 37.2 trillion cells. Approx. 86 billion of these are nerve cells and approx. 10 times more are glial cells (fixes nerve cells, nourishes and "cleans up" those that are dead). Our brain is approx. 2% of the total body weight, but uses 20-25% of oxygen uptake.
The cells need energy to function, which is ATP, adenosine triphosphate in our body. The organelle in the cell, called mitochondrion produces 30-32 ATP molecules from glucose in the presence of oxygen.
The amount of ATP in the body at rest is 30-40 kg, and in the case of muscle work, it can be up to 1 ton.
The more ATP in the muscles, the stronger and more explosive they are. With increased exercise, the more oxygen, the slower the production of lactic acid in the muscle. After exercise, the body breaks down lactic acid faster in the liver in the presence of more oxygen.
During the forming of neural connections, a cell consumes 1.5 billion ATP molecules per second.
Symptoms of oxygen deficiency:
Brain – disturbed concentration, unreasonable yawning, fading, slowing speech, drowsiness after lunch
Heart – high heart rate, small physical work is also considered
Eye – varying visual acuity
Kidney – cold hands and feet, frequent daytime urination
Sports can help train our lungs and increase our body's oxygen supply.
After a brain injury, cells need more oxygen to regenerate their cells, furthermore, when a child is motionless, shallowly breathing, the question is how to get enough energy into the brain.
Glenn Doman and his team (Philadelphia) first started to deal with the rehabilitation of former polio patients to help them with the difficult breathing left by the disease.
They knew that chemoreceptors in the brain control complex, vital functions, such as watching for sufficient oxygen in the intake air. If not, the chemoreceptors are activated and reflexive increase in breathing is produced.
A former polio patient and a few healthy people were locked in a room without windows, and the door was hermetically sealed. It was observed whether the respiratory activity increased also in the patient as the oxygen level in the air decreased. After proving that it worked, it was still a question whether the brain responds properly also in children with brain injury, and they also had to find a more economical solution.
Physical therapist Glenn Doman, American Air Force physical therapist Colonel Anthony Flores, speech therapist Claude Cheek, and chest specialist Dr David Reiber created the mask, which by 1972 had reached a billion children with brain injuries worldwide.
We mask 40 times a day, every 5 minutes. Masking lasts 1 minute.
