How does a stroke causes brain damage?
A stroke is a injury within the brain. There are two basic types; ischemic and hemorrhagic. In an ischemic stroke, a blockage in a blood vessel occurs within the brain, cutting off the flow of blood carrying oxygen and sugars to the brain tissue. In a hemorrhagic stroke, a blood vessel has burst within the brain, flooding an area of brain tissue. Depending on the area affected within the brain, there could be many different affects. Stroke victims frequently experience physical weakness in one or more extremity, or difficulty speaking or seeing.

What does a stroke do to your body?
A stroke actually does nothing to the body. It affects the brain by stopping blood flow from reaching areas of the brain. This can result in damage to nerve fibers and whole areas of the brain. If, as a result of stroke, there is damage to areas of the brain it may damage the ability of the brain to send messages to the body. Therefore, strokes can leave people with varying levels of disability. Damage to the right side of the brain will affect functioning on the left side of the body and vice versa. Additionally, language is primarily mediated by the left side of the brain. Therefore, someone who suffers a stroke on the left side of the brain may suffer from varying levels of language impairment. If someone suffers a stroke and loses the ability to control muscles, over time, lack of use of the muscles will result in atrophy. In this way strokes can have an indirect effect on more remote parts of the body.
