Answer to Question 1

Answer: Stroke can involve obstructions of brain blood vessels or can involve the rupture of blood vessels. Known risk factors include cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol levels, diabetes, and the presence of plaque within the lumen of blood vessels (atherosclerosis). Quitting smoking, reducing your body weight, and exercise can reduce the risk of stroke.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Down syndrome is a disorder of brain development that induces varying degrees of
mental retardation. The physical characteristics of Down syndrome include round heads, stubby hands, and short stature. The brains of Down syndrome persons are smaller in weight, and after age 30, their brains experience significant degeneration. The syndrome is caused by an extra 21st chromosome, which in turn impairs brain development.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
