2 of 39
middle cerebral ARTERY stroke affects
pre central and post central gyrus
3 of 39
middle cerebral ARTERY stroke affects pre central and post central gyrus affecting
motor movements
4 of 39
posterior artery blockage = affect to
the hippocampuss
5 of 39
Posterio artery blockage causes
vision recognition and memory problems

60
14 of 39
Emolic Ichemic strokes are
gunk outside vessel into brain
15 of 39
Haemorragic ..... % bleed into the brain causing increased volume

TPA is very useful with a .....stroke as it stops clotting
ischemic
17 of 39
........... occurs when a diseased blood vessel within the brain bursts, allowing blood to leak inside the brain.
intracerebral haemorrage
18 of 39
arteries carry
oxygen
19 of 39
capillaries and veins carry
blood
20 of 39
80% of intracerebral haemorrage
no symptoms
21 of 39
Extra cerebral haemorrage occurs
in the protective layers of the brain
