Question

what is a cerebrovascular accident? multiple choice accumulation of blood between meningeal layers death of brain tissue due to increased intracranial pressure death of nervous system tissue due to blocked blood flow abnormal brain wave activity

Explanation:

A cerebrovascular accident (CVA), or stroke, occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, leading to the death of nervous - system tissue due to lack of oxygen and nutrients. The other options do not accurately define a CVA. Accumulation of blood between meningeal layers is a subdural or epidural hematoma. Death of brain tissue due to increased intracranial pressure is a secondary effect in some cases but not the core definition of CVA. Abnormal brain - wave activity can be a result of a CVA but not its definition.

Answer:

C. Death of nervous system tissue due to blocked blood flow
