The Science of the T-Zombie

How in the hell do these things work? I was thinking about it fairly deeply yesterday. For one thing, when someone is attacked by a zombie, the zombie is very aggressive in their attack. To become a zombie in RE, you must AT LEAST not have your brain or nervous system compromised. I ask all of you, when you think of an RE zombie attack, where do you instantly think the zombies usually attack? The neck? That's where I see them attack most often. If it a frontal attack, then the spinal cord may remain undamaged. But a rear attack would be leaving the CNS (central nervous system) completely vulnerable. Therefore, it seems as if becoming a zombie may be harder in RE than Capcom would have us believe. Now, even if the transformation does occur, how does the zombie move? Energy must be burnt and oxygen must be carried to all of the vitals. So coagulation of the blood should not happen. Might this explain the signature bleed out that signifies the true death of a zombie (although transformation into a crimson may still happen in REmake)? I do not think that coagulation occurs in the RE zombie. How else would a crimson head occur? The crimson comes from the blood rushing to the head and the muscle tissue forming. Finally, what are the odds of every vital organ staying intact during a zombie attack? These organs would need to stay intact for a zombie to function at all. Just something to think about.

To be more scientific, the brain must be working in order for any muscles to be moving at all, according to the synaptic junction. This not only takes a role in moving muscles but memory as well. This is the main reason why I laugh at people who are dead serious about the zombie apocalypse actually happening.

The cerebellum and the cerebrum make the zombies work. They coordinate the nervous system, but since the T-Virus is causing the body to decompose, specifically the muscles to decay due to loss of moisture and thereby robbing them of oxygen, the nervous system can't make the zombies go very fast. While the zombies may be breathing, they're oxygenating dying cells, so the blood isn't as well fueled by it, causing a slower ability to grab prey that runs past them, for example, as seen in the games before RE 6.

Is this informative to you?

Thats some dangerous thinking there Nite

This would explain why they don't require "Headshots"
