      Could be! It depends how hard you get punched…

      Yes, hitting your head can cause cell death and in a head trauma in most dramatic cases.

      I hope this is just a rhetorical question!!!! I think if you were punched very hard and repeatedly it would cause some brain damage. I think our cranium is quite sturdy against minor knocks though- at least I hope so because I bang my head all the time and I can’t afford to loose brain cells!
