Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An infarction is a type of stroke that occurs when an artery supplying blood to the brain is blocked, leading to death of brain tissue due to lack of oxygen and nutrients. This can be caused by a clot (thrombosis) or a traveling clot (embolism) that becomes lodged in an artery. A hemorrhage, on the other hand, occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, leading to bleeding and damage to brain tissue.
