vascular
The term refers to vessels in the body in which fluids such as blood or lymph circulate. In a narrower sense, doctors refer to the network of veins, arteries, and capillaries as the "vascular system." If the vascular system is blocked, for example as a result of a stroke, less blood reaches the brain. This means that it receives less oxygen and other nutrients. This can lead to impaired cognitive functions and the development of "vascular dementia." After degenerative forms of dementia such as Alzheimer's, vascular dementia is the second most common form of this group of diseases.
