Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when there is bleeding within the brain. This can be caused by ruptured blood vessels or aneurysms. The other options refer to causes of ischemic strokes which are caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain due to a clot or blockage in a blood vessel. Glycine release in the brain is not a known cause of either type of stroke.
