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.

What cause the stroke?

There are many causes of a stroke. Here are a few of them: High blood pressure mainly occurs when the heart starts to work harder to circulate the blood throughout the body. So when this occurs, there are chances of damage occurring to brain and heart. High Blood pressure may lead to stroke if the blood is not brought down to normal. Diabetic patients are prone to strokes because most of the patients get affected with hypertension, heart attacks or higher cholesterol. Any one of these may prone the patient to getting a stroke. For more causes please refer the link in sources. Hope this helps.


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.

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.
