Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A stroke is a sudden decrease in blood supply to a part of the brain, which can lead to cell death (also known as ischemia) and other neurological symptoms.

Answer: B and D
 Blood clots can either be floating (known as an embolus) or stationary (known as a thrombus). Both types can potentially cause a stroke if they block blood flow to the brain.

Answer: A and E
 Both dead tissue and a localized area of dead cells resulting from ischemia (also known as an infarct) can be seen in the aftermath of a stroke.
