cerebrovascular accidents
commonly called strokes, cerebrovascular (ser\e - bro - vasku - lar) accidents (cvas) are the fifth leading cause of death in the united states. cvas occur when blood (1 ) to a brain area is blocked, as by a blood clot or a ruptured blood vessel, and vital brain tissue dies. after a cva, it is often possible to determine the area of brain damage by observing the patients symptoms. for example, if the patient has left - sided paralysis (a one - sided paralysis is called hemiplegia), the right motor cortex of the frontal (2 ) is most likely involved. aphasias (ah - faze - ahz) are a common result of damage to the left cerebral hemisphere, where the language areas are located. there are many types of aphasias, but the most common are motor aphasia, which involves damage to brocas area and a loss of ability to speak, and sensory (3 ), in which a person loses the ability to understand written or spoken language. aphasias are maddening to victims because, as a rule, their intellect is unimpaired. brain (4 ) can also cause marked changes in a persons disposition (for example, a change from a sunny to a foul personality). in such cases, a (5 ) as well as a cva might be suspected.

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
1. When blood circulation to a brain area is blocked, a CVA occurs, so "circulation" fits (1).
2. The motor cortex is part of the frontal lobe, so "lobe" is correct for (2).
3. The type of aphasia where a person loses language - understanding ability is sensory aphasia, so "aphasia" for (3).
4. Brain lesions can cause personality - changes, so "lesions" for (4).
5. Along with a CVA, a tumor might be suspected in cases of personality - change, so "tumor" for (5).
# Answer:
1. circulation
2. lobe
3. aphasia
4. lesions
5. tumor
