True or false : A hemorragic stroke is caused by uncontrolled bleeding in the brain.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when there is uncontrolled bleeding in the brain. This can happen due to a ruptured blood vessel or an aneurysm. The bleeding puts pressure on the brain, causing damage to the surrounding tissues and cells. This type of stroke is less common than an ischemic stroke, which is caused by a blockage in a blood vessel. However, a hemorrhagic stroke can be more severe and have a higher risk of complications. Therefore, the statement "A hemorrhagic stroke is caused by uncontrolled bleeding in the brain" is true.Rate this question:
