Question

Explain what distinguishes a stroke from a heart attack.

Answer 1

Answer:

Strokes occur in the brain

Heart attacks occur in the heart

Explanation:

Both strokes and heart attacks occur when the blood supply to that part of the body is blocked or interrupted. Strokes occur in the brain, while heart attacks are specific to the heart muscle. Both can be caused when blockages cut off the blood supply and the tissues starves for oxygen and other nutrients. Strokes can also occur when the pressure in a blocked artery causes it to burst and the blood leaks into the brain.

Answer 2

Strokes usually occur in the brain
heart attacks occurs in the heart.
