What are the 2 different types of stroke?
There are two major kinds of stroke, ischemic and hemorrhagic. In an ischemic stroke a blood vessel becomes blocked, usually by a blood clot and a portion of the brain becomes deprived of oxygen and will stop functioning. A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain burst and spills blood into the brain. When this happens, a portion of the brain becomes deprived of oxygen and will stop functioning.

Which cardiovascular problem results when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or ruptures?

What is a swollen blood vessel in your brain?
A swollen blood vessel in the brain is called a brain aneurysm. It is a potentially life-threatening condition where a weakened area in a blood vessel in the brain balloons and fills with blood. If an aneurysm ruptures, it can cause a hemorrhagic stroke.
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 are the difference between heart attack and a stroke?
Heart attack occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked by a blood clot. Without oxygenated blood, the heart muscle begins to die.Stroke is a brain attack, cutting off vital blood flow and oxygen to the brain. Stroke happens when a blood vessel feeding the brain gets clogged or bursts.
What is a blood vessel that rhymes the brain?
vein
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.
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
What is the blood vessel that sends electrical signal to the brain in your eye?
The blood vessel that sends electrical signals from the eye to the brain is not a blood vessel but rather the optic nerve. The optic nerve transmits visual information from the retina, where light is converted into electrical signals, to the brain for processing. This nerve plays a crucial role in vision, connecting the eye to the visual cortex in the brain.
