Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coma (unresponsiveness) usually does not result from a small, focal stroke. A stroke that affects Broca's area of the brain impacts speech, specifically by causing aphasia. Sedative drugs taken in overdose, asphyxia (in which the brain receives inadequate oxygen globally), and herniation of the brain (in which the vital functions of the brain stem are compressed) all are common causes of unresponsiveness.
