@instituteofhumananatomy: ⚠️ If you think someone is having a stroke, remember FAST — it could save their life. F — Face: Ask them to smile. Is one side drooping? A — Arms: Can they raise both? Is one drifting down? S — Speech: Ask them to repeat a phrase. Is it slurred or strange? T — Time: If you see any of these, call 911 immediately. Here's how strokes are treated: a clot-busting drug called tPA can dissolve the clot if given within 3–4.5 hours. A mechanical thrombectomy — where a catheter is threaded through an artery to physically remove the clot — can work up to 24 hours after symptoms begin. 🧠 And to reduce your risk? Keep blood pressure below 120/80 (the #1 risk factor for both stroke types), eat well, exercise to keep arteries compliant and elastic, quit smoking, and manage blood glucose levels. Plaque formation is the common thread — control the inputs that drive it. 💪 Follow for more anatomical awesomeness! #tiktoklearningcampaign #anatomy #humananatomy #brain #stroke #strokeawareness #FAST #brainhealth #ischemicstroke #hemorrhagicstroke #neuroscience #bloodpressure #cardiovascularhealth #physiology #anatomyandphysiology #medschool #learnontiktok
