Athrombus can clog an artery. what occurs when an artery in the brain is blocked answers

Stroke

Explanation:

Thrombus is just a form of stroke. A stroke is caused by an interrupted blood supply which leads to the death of brain cells. The strokes are of two types – a) Ischemic attack– In this a blood clot causes blocking of blood vessel. Ischemic attack is of two types –  

1. Thrombotic – This occurs due to blood clotting  

2. Embolic. This occur when a part of thrombus travels from its original site and blocks an artery  

b) Hemorrhagic stroke – In this a blood vessel burst inside a brain thereby causing brain hemorrhage.  

Thus it is the stroke that blocks an artery in the brain.
