Core Pathology of Left sided weakeness due to a CVA...does this sound good?

Core Pathology

After a stroke affecting the corticospinal tracts such as the motor cortex, posterior limb of the internal capsule, basis pontis, or medullary pyramids, there's profound weakness to the contralateral side. In this patient's case, his stroke happened in the grey matter assosicated with the right frontal lobe. Involvement at the level of the motor cortex is most often in the territory of the middle cerebral artery, usually with the sparing leg, which is supplied by the anterior cerebral artery. Subcortical lesions of the corticospinal tracts will cause equal weakness of the face, arm, and leg. This results in left sided weakness.

I need to get an A on this paper....I hope thats right...

Just wondering what the paper is for (what class) and what sort of paper is it supposed to be?

[Janinern84]

It's suppose to be down to the cellular level of the disease process which causes the Left sided weakness. So I picked the CVA he had.

This is only part of the paper.
