What else can I help you with?
A stroke is a rupture of a blood vessel in the?
brain, leading to a sudden interruption of blood supply resulting in brain cell damage. This disruption can cause neurological deficits like paralysis or speech difficulties. Immediate medical attention is crucial to minimize long-term effects and prevent complications.
Is an artery a type of blood vessel?
Yes, an artery is a type of blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the rest of the body.
What could block a blood vessel?
Cholesterol, blood clots, fat embolism', even plastic from a hypodermic needle that has broken off can block blood vessles.
Why would blood vessel radius have a larger effect on the body than vessel length?
Blood vessel radius has a larger effect on the body because changes in radius significantly impact blood flow resistance, which affects blood pressure regulation and delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues. Vessel length, on the other hand, has a smaller direct effect on blood flow resistance and overall cardiovascular function.
What is the difference between an artery and a blood vessel?
An artery is a type of blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, while a blood vessel is a general term for any tube-like structure that transports blood throughout the body, including arteries, veins, and capillaries.
What is the term for when a vein pops open in your brain?
A swollen blood vessel is called an aneurysm. If a brain aneurysm ruptures, it can hemorrhage into the brain. Bleeding from a ruptured aneurysm is one form of stroke, or cerebrovascular accident (CVA).
What is an anuerism?
A cerebral or brain aneurysm is a cerebrovascular disease in which weakness in the wall of veins causes a localized dilation or ballooning of the blood vessel. The bursting of an aneurysm in blood vessel can cause brain death.
What is a blood vessel that rhymes the brain?
vein
What is the difference between a brain bleed and an aneurysm?
Hematoma is blood pooled outside the blood vessel, aneurysm is a bulging of a blood vessel.
What blood vessel breaks open if aneurysm is present?
An Aneurysm is usually a blood vessel in the brain, that balloons, then breaks.
What's Stroke?
Burst blood vessel in the brain
If you rupture a blood vessel can you die?
Yes. It depends on the blood vessel and where it is, but yes a rupture to a blood vessel can kill you. A blood vessel is more likely to "pop" or rupture if it has an aneurysm, which is a local weakness where the blood vessel has stretched from the pressure of the blood. This is more likely to result in death if it is in a large blood vessel or in a critical location, such as the aorta or a vessel in the brain.
A what usually invalves a rupture or a blockage of a blood vessel in the brain?
A stroke can be caused by bleeding on the brain.
Which of these conditions can be defined as an area of swollen brain tissue mixed with blood from broken blood vessels?
contusion
Is it possible to cough a piece of your brain?
No, but you can burst a weak blood vessel.
A stroke occurs in the?
Heart, neck, or brain. It can also be a blood vessel
What are two ways that a Cerebrovascular Accident can occur?
A stroke can occur in two ways. In an ischemic stroke, a blood clot blocks or plugs a blood vessel or artery in the brain. About 80 percent of all strokes are ischemic. In an hemorrhagic stroke, a blood vessel in the brain breaks and bleeds into the brain. About 20 percent of strokes are hemorrhagic.
