    • Intracerebral
  17. Type of hemorrhagic stroke caused by rupture of atery.
    Subarachnoid hemorrhage
  18. Type of hemorragic stroke that results in blood filling the space surrounding the brain rather than insdie of it (b/w brain and skull).
    Subarachnoid hemorrhage
  19. With subarachnoid hemorrhage, it is usually caused by ____ ____ (ballooning of vessel, over time it may rupture)
    Ruptured aneurism
  20. With subarachnoid hemorrhage, there is a sudden increase in ____ w/in the brain and can cause damage to ____ ____ surrouund the blood.
    • Pressure
    • Brain cells
  21. Type of hemorrhagic stroke that occurs when a blood vessel w/in brain bursts (deep in tissue of brain)
    Intracerebral hemorrhage
  22. Brief period of localized cerebral ischemia.
    TIA (transient ischemic attack)
  23. More like to have ischemic stroke if person has previous ____.
    TIA (transient ischemic attack)
  24. Most common cause of intracerebral hemorrhage stroke.

    • Visual disturbances
  31. TIA is often a warning sign of impending ____ (usually a(n) ____ stroke).
    • Stroke
    • Ischemic
  32. Three components of the brain.
    • Cerebrum
    • Cerebellum
    • Brainstem
  33. Largest, most advanced portion of brain - R/L hemisphere (temporal, frontal, occipital, parietal)
    Cerebrum
  34. Second largest portion of brain. At back of brain - smooth, coordinated movement.
    Cerebellum
  35. At back of brain and base. Autonomic function, affects/controls respiratory rate, BP, HR, wakefullness, articulation of speech.
    Brainstem
  36. A region of the brain concerned with the production of speech, located in the cortex of the dominant frontal lobe.
    Broca's area at front of brain
  37. Region of the brain concerned with the comprehension of language.
