A stroke is a blockage of an artery by either a blood clot or an embolism. It can occur pretty well anywhere in the body. Most people think of the brain when they hear the word 'stroke'. But it can occur in the lungs, or just about any other organ.
"Stroke" is a general description of a circulatory"event" in the brain, just as "Heart Attack" is, in the heart. It can be either the interruption of blood flow, due to a clot, which slows or stops blood flow to an area of the brain, causing tissue damage in the areas that are not getting blood, -or- an interruption of blood flow due to leakage of blood into the surrounding tissue. In that case, the damage is due to pressure of the accumulating fluid, in a place it does not belong. There may be damage in the areas "downstream" that are not getting supplied with blood and oxygen, as well.
a stroke takes place in a brain hence could affect things like speech, coordination and cognitive function.
Various body systems can be affected by a stroke. It depends on which portion of the circulation was affected in the brain.
the brain. But obviously the whole body feels it.
The cerebrum is the part that is usually effected.
BRAINS
It depends what side of the brain the blood clot occurs on.
alcohol affects every organ in your body; that's if you have too much.

eye
The lobes in the back of the brain called the occipital lobes.
Hepatitis affects the liver in the body.
Asthma affects the lungs.
the liver
it affects you emotionally and it affects your whole body mostly your heart so it can increase your chances of a heart attack at an earlier age

If the stroke occurs in the left side of the brain, the right side of the body will be affected, producing some or all of the following: paralysis on the right side of the body; speech/language problems; slow, cautious behavioral style; memory loss. A stroke on the right side of the brain affects the left side of the body.
stroke is caused by veins/arteries in your brain clogging or bursting. If only effects half of your body. so if the blood problem is in the right side of your brain, then the left side of your body will be unresponsive, and vice-a-versa.
