Summary Introduction
To determine:
The sense that is affected by a stroke which blocks the posterior cerebral artery.
Introduction:
A medical condition in which the blood supply to the brain gets reduced is termed as the stroke. The poor blood supply to the brain may lead to brain dysfunction and death of nerve cells. The blockage of arteries due to the deposition of fat and cholesterol, and the hemorrhage may cause a stroke.

A) cardiac acceletory
B) vascular inhibitory
C) vascular neutrality
D) cardiac inhibitory
Callisto survives the accident and goes to jail. Many years later she is found slumped in her cell, quite confused and with apparent paralysis in her right arm. When the jailer speaks to her, she is unable to produce any clear speech. Callisto can understand very simple sentences, and her sight is not affected. It is determined that she has a vascular occlusion (blockage) in her internal carotid artery. Callisto’s blood pressure is markedly lower than would be expected under physiological conditions.
Based on this information, how are these structures in brain affected (if they are). Provide justification. Short answers.
1. Broca's area
2. Right posterior cerebral artery
3. Autonomic nervous system
20. The lesion in the coronal section of the brain shown is within the territory supplied by which of the following arteries?
A) Anterior cerebral
B) Middle cerebral
C) Posterior cerebral.
D) Lenticulostriate
E) Middle meningeal
