A stroke comes about when there is a sudden blood supply interruption to a brain part. A stroke can also occur when a blood vessel bursts in the brain spattering blood into the spaces around the brain cells. When brain cells do not receive oxygen and nutrients or get damaged by an abrupt bleeding, they die. The loss of oxygen and nutrients for brain cells is known as ischemia. Ultimately ischemia results to infarction. Infarct is a fluid-filled cavity that eventually replaces the dead brain cells

the arteries. The middle layer of the tissue (tunica media) which is within the artery wall lining has elastic tissues in. The elastic tissue lets the artery walls to be able to stretch and recoil which helps prevents damage from the high pressure blood flowing through them. By allowing the stretch of the artery this is causing the elastic energy. This kind of energy is known as the ‘potential energy’. Thermal energy is one of the five forms of energy which is found within our body. Thermal energy

side of the heart is thicker than the right because it has to pump oxygenated blood around the whole body whereas the right side just pumps de-oxygenated blood to the brain.
