Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A stroke occurs when there is a blockage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain, which can cause damage to the nerves and muscles controlled by the affected area of the brain. Therefore, the results of a stroke would most likely affect one specific side of the body, either the left or the right, and could include weakness or paralysis of the arm or leg on that side as well as difficulty speaking or understanding language.
