> neuronal cells are famous for being powered anaerobically Neurons are among the most energy-demanding cells in the body, they die the first without oxygen. Then come muscles (including heart) and liver. This means that all those cells are mostly aerobic, and only slightly anaerobic. It is true that all human body cells have an anaerobic metabolic pathway as well, but it is inefficient and cannot satisfy the energy demands for a human body to stay alive for too long without the oxygen supply.
