**Which of the following results from atherosclerosis (without complete blockage) in a cerebral artery?**
1) Angina pectoris
2) Myocardial infarction (MI)
3) Transient ischemic attack (TIA)
4) Cerebral vascular accident (CVA)
*Note:*
- **Angina pectoris** is chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscles.
- **Myocardial infarction (MI)** refers to a heart attack, caused by the blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle.
- **Transient ischemic attack (TIA)** is a temporary period of symptoms similar to those of a stroke, but it doesn't cause permanent damage. It's often referred to as a "mini-stroke."
- **Cerebral vascular accident (CVA)**, commonly known as a stroke, occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients.
