A stroke happens when something prevents the brain from getting it blood supply. Without blood, nerve cells in the brain die. Many people become partly paralyzed from having a stroke. Cerebral palsy is another disorder caused by damage to the brain. A person with cerebral palsy has less-than-normal control over his or her muscles. This person's hands may shake, or he or she may not be able to form words. In some cases, the person's arms are stiff and slow moving. Cerebral palsy is sometimes caused by poor prenatal care. Prenatal care means before birth, so prenatal care is care received by a baby while it is still inside its mother.
1. When does a stroke happen?
2. What happens to the nerve cells in the brain when they do not get blood?
3. What happens to many people as a result of a stroke?

Prenatal care means before birth, so prenatal care is care received by a baby while it is still inside its mother. A third disease that affects the nervous system is multiple sclerosis. This disease attacks the body's nerves. The damaged nerves are then unable to send or receive messages. Multiple sclerosis usually attacks people between the ages of 20 and 40. Epilepsy is a disorder that causes a person to have seizures. People suffering from this condition have abnormal brain waves.
1. When does a stroke happen, and what happens to nerve cells in the brain without blood?

Epilepsy is a disorder that causes a person to have seizures. People suffering from this condition have abnormal brain waves. Drugs and alcohol also affect the nervous system. A person's eyesight, thinking, and muscle control are impaired after drinking alcohol or abusing drugs. Drugs and alcohol often have long-term effects, too. Memory loss, nervousness, and poor emotional health are some of these effects. There may also be signs of brain damage as a result of drug and alcohol abuse.
1. Explain when a stroke happens, what happens to nerve cells without blood, and what happens to many people who have strokes.
2. Explain what cerebral palsy is caused by, how it affects a person's muscles, ans their hands and speech.
3. What else can cause cerebral palsy and what is prenatal care?
