Answer to Question 1
Stroke is defined as a disruption of brain function caused by interruption of blood flow to the brain.
Ischemic stroke refers to a reduction in blood flow caused by atherosclerotic or damaged blood vessels that supply blood to the brain. A thrombotic stroke may also result via a plaque breaking off and occluding an already narrowed vessel.
Hemorrhagic stroke results from a weakened blood vessel that ruptures and bleeds into the surrounding brain; blood accumulates and compresses surrounding brain tissue.
