Question: 1 / 400

An infarction is a blockage of blood circulating to which organ?

Lung

Brain

Heart

While an infarction can occur in various organs due to decreased blood flow, it typically refers to a blockage of blood flow specifically to the heart. This can result in tissue injury or death due to lack of oxygen and nutrients. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe an infarction. The lungs and brain can also experience tissue damage due to compromised blood flow, but they are not typically referred to as infarctions. The liver is mostly supplied by the portal vein, not a major source of blood circulation that is affected by an infarction.
