End of Chapter two start of chapter five
circle of willis (fx)
connects all of the cerebral arteries in the brain
connects left to right - front to back
nine arteries connecting post. to the internal carotids
to get COLLATERAL CIRCULATION
the anterior cerebrallar A gives blood to where?
longitudinal fissure and some middle cortex
the middle cerebrallar A gives blood to where?
DEEP in the brain - temporal and parietal lobes
- then heads lateral
the internal cartoid feeds into what arteries?
ant and mid cerebellar A
the posterior communicating A connects
the internal cartoid A to the post cerebrallar A
how many choirodal A are there?
two
where does the choirodal A extend off
1 - post cerebellar A
2 - middle cerebellar A
what does the choirodal A give to :
1 - thalamus
2 - basal ganglia
3 - leaky capillaries to ventricles for CSF
what does the striate A supply?
basil ganglia
how many dural sinuses are there?
3
a dural sinus is what?
a pocket in the dura
where is the superior saggittal sinus
along the longitudinal fissure
where is the inferior sagittal sinus?
the floor of the longitudinal fissure
- when the inner layer of dura doubles back down on itself
where is the transverse sinus?
starts at the center back
how many transverse sinus are there?
2
list all three dural sinuses
superior sagittal sinus
inferior sagittal sinus
transverse sinus
fx of the transverse sinus?
dumps blood into the jugular vein
what are the two main cells:
1- nerve cells
2- glial cells: support cells
nerve connections are _______ which means that they can ________-
plastic which means they can weaken or strengthen
list the four components of the neuron:
1- soma
2- dendrite
3- axon
4 -axon hillock
soma fx
cell body where the nuclei and all the working parts are
dendrite fx
receives messages
axon fx
pushes messages and sends them out to other neurons
axon hillox fx
the most proximal part of the nerve where the electrical signal is created then goes down
