What may occur when the blood vessel going to the brain is blocked?

It is called a cerebral artery occlusion. Symptoms may include weakness, numbness/tingling, difficulty speaking or walking, and many others, depending on the area the artery supplies blood to. If the symptoms last only a short amount of time (a few minutes up to 24 hours) and there is no residual symptoms, it is called a Transient ischemic attack (TIA). If the symptoms are longer lasting and there are residual symptoms, it is called a stroke.

====================
It is rather a cerebral thrombosis or cerebral stroke. Aneurysm is a delated vessel, more precisely, a part of the blood vessel, where the wall is weaker, delates, or "bulges". That could happen in the brain as well (cerebral aneurysm). It the delated part of the vessel (the aneurysm) ruptures, that will cause a cerebral stroke.

Blood vessel that carry blood going back to the heart?
Veins.
What is the rupture of a blood vessel?
If a blood vessel ruptures, it has developed a leak. In an artery (going away from the heart) the blood will leak much faster than in a vein (going back to the heart).

What is hemostatic?
The word hemostatic means that blood has stopped. Usually it is used when blood is stopped from going to a damaged blood vessel.
What blood vessel carries blood from the heart from the body?
With the exception of the vessels going to and from the lungs, veins carry blood to the heart from the body.
Can you be dizzy if there is not enough blood going in the brain?
Yes you can.
How does the heart pump blood where does the blood go?
the heart pumps to the brain to keep it going
Can blood clots in your hand prevent blood from going into your hand?
It is possible for blood clots to obstruct blood flow. It's not likely that all of the blood flow to your hand could be blocked, though.
How does smooth muscle make blood vessels function?
Smooth muscle is mostly in the afferent branch going from the arteries to the arterioles. The body controls where blood will flow by controlling the vessel diameter. An increase in sympathetic tone constricts smooth muscle, decreases blood vessel diameter, and limits blood flow.
How do Persians live?
they breath in oxygen that pumps their hart and the blood will keep the brain going
What happens when a person has a stroke?
A stroke is any disruption to blood flow around the brain. Technically, the blood/brain barrier does not allow blood to actually enter the brain. That can be one example of a stroke, if a blood vessel ruptures and causes blood to enter the brain. In normal operation, nutrients cross the blood/brain barrier to provide for the needs of the brain. If a blood clot stops blood circulation in an area of the brain, it's also considered a stroke. Typical body function during a bleeding event is to first stop the bleeding and then initiate repairs. All of that takes place without much thought on our part. The platelets form a shield around the cut other damaged area and stop the bleeding. When this happens inside the brain, part of the brain dies. When a blood clot forms inside the brain, nutrients are stopped and that too can destroy brain cells.
When blood cells leave the heart what vessel do they travel through?
Blood leaves the heart through two vessels: going to the lungs, it leaves through the pulmonary artery, and going to the rest of the body, it leaves through the aorta.
