Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A stroke occurs when there is reduced blood flow to a region of the brain, leading to an inadequate supply of oxygen and nutrients. This lack of oxygen and nutrients leads to brain damage. Compression of glial cells, increased cranial pressure, and increased nutrient flow to brain tissue do not result in a stroke. Although increased blood flow can be beneficial in some cases, it is not the cause of a stroke.
