When the blood supply to part of the brain is suddenly shut off?
Depending on the duration of the lack of oxygen, as well as the location, part of the brain may "die", rendering that portion of the brain inoperable. This is also known as a stroke.
In anatomy what does CVA stand for?
Cerebrovascular accident: The sudden death of some brain cells due to lack of oxygen, its also known as a stroke
What part of the brain is also known as the lesser brain?
cerebellum is also known as the lesser brain
What is the result of brain infarct on human?
Brain infarction, also known as a stroke, occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is disrupted, leading to tissue damage. This can result in symptoms such as paralysis, speech difficulties, vision changes, and cognitive impairment, depending on the location and severity of the infarct. Long-term consequences can include disability, loss of function, and increased risk of further strokes.
A stroke occurs in the?
Heart, neck, or brain. It can also be a blood vessel
What is the cerebrovascular accident?
A cerebrovascular accident, also known as a stroke, occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted, leading to damage of brain tissue. This can result in various neurological symptoms, depending on the area of the brain affected, such as weakness, numbness, difficulty speaking, or paralysis. Immediate medical attention is crucial to minimize potential long-term consequences.
Why is Tia also known as stroke?
A "TIA" is a form of stroke, but temporary in its effects. Many TIA's over time can have cumulative, deleterious effects in the same way that a single stroke might. "TIA" is an acronym for "Transient Ischemic Accident", as opposed to "CVA" (also known as Cerebrovascular Accident or stroke). There are three classifications of stroke: * Ischemic (isk-HEEM-ik): Caused by a clot or some other type of blockage in an artery. * Intracerebral (in-tra-sa-REE-bral): Caused by rupture of an artery and bleeding into the tissues of the brain. * Subarachnoid (sub-ah-RACK-noyd): Caused by rupture of an artery and bleeding into the lining and space surrounding the brain, rather than the interior tissues.
Is a Cerebrovascular accident a cardiac issue?
A cerebrovascular accident (or CVA) is also known as a stroke. It is where one of the arterial supplies to the brain becomes reduced or stopped in some way, for example due to a blockage through a process known as atherosclerosis or perhaps when a vessel bursts (haemorrhagic stroke) with the resulting brain tissue that is supplied by that artery being starved of oxygen and dying.
How can a stroke kill you?
Yes a stroke can kill you. A stroke happens when there is a lack of blood flow to the brain. When there is no blood, there is no oxygen and the brain cells start to die, causing a stroke or death of brain tissue. Where in the brain the stroke happens and how long the brain goes without blood can make a difference as to how bad the stroke is.
What type of stroke that is also known as a bleed?
blood
Which type of stroke is also known as a bleed?
Hemorrhagic
What is also known as the brain within the brain?
cerebrum
