Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A stroke occurs when there is a blockage or rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, leading to a decrease in blood flow and oxygen to brain cells. This can lead to brain damage and a variety of symptoms, including difficulty speaking, weakness on one side of the body, and vision changes. Cancer invading brain cells or a blockage in the heart would not directly cause a stroke, and a stopped heart would cause cardiac arrest rather than a stroke.
