Source sentences:
text: While hypoxic injury is clearly an element of the systemic damage, scientists have found that carbon monoxide is a neurotoxin and — due to a cascade of complex biochemical events — it creates a marked increase in oxidative injury that can directly damage perivascular (the area surrounding a blood vessel or lymphatic vessel) and neuronal (relating to a nerve cell or neuron) structures.
text: Separate and apart from the hypoxic damage, carbon monoxide is a neurotoxin, triggering biochemical processes that will kill cells, that accelerates apotosis (programmed cell death), and that damages significant neuronal structures, including the protective sheathing around axons.
