Solution

The organ that shuts first

  1. The brain needs an ongoing flow of oxygen, and when that oxygen supply is interrupted, it starts to die.
  2. The heart is the next direct organ to perish, then the lungs, then the kidneys.
  3. They experience a reduction in blood pressure and have less oxygen reaching their organs.
  4. In an unsuccessful effort to speed up breathing, the body reacts by gasping for oxygen.
