26
Blood supply to the Brain: Anterior vs Posterior supply
Anterior
-Right and Left Carotid arteries
Posterior
-Left and Right Vertebral arteries, combine to form basilar artery
27
Posterior Communicating Artery (Circle of Willis)
-Connects basilar and carotid arteries to perfume brain if one side fails
28
Cerebral Perfusion Pressure
| -Formula and Normal Range
CPP=MAP-ICP
-MAP=Mean arterial pressure “120/80->100”
Normal is 50-60 mmHg
29
Meninges and Types (3)

30
3 parts of the Brain Stem

31
Role of the Medulla (5)
- Enhance impulse conductivity from brain stem to brain
- Regulates:
- Respiration’s

- Vasodilation
- Certain reflexes
32
Role of the Pons (11)
- Relay signals from forebrain to cerebellum
- Responsible for:
- Sleep
- Respiration
- Swallowing
- Bladder control
- Hearing
- Balance
- Taste
- Eye movement
- Facial expressions and sensation
- Posture
33
Role of the Midbrain
- Connects the brainstem to diencephalon
- Responsible for:
- Motor movement
