Stroke - series?
Part 1Much of the brain is supplied blood by the internal carotid arteries.Part 2The internal carotid arteries branch at the base of the brain in an area called the circle of Willis.Part 3A blood clot (thrombus) may form in the body, break-off, and travel to the brain through a carotid artery and the circle of Willis.Part 4The blood clot may block the passage of blood through a brain artery, depriving nearby tissue of oxygen and nutrients.
