Calculate CPP: BP = 100/70, HR = 65, RAP = 10, ICP = 15? SHORT ANSWER
CPP = MAP - ICP; CPP = 80 - 15; CPP = 65
SSEP assesses the integrity of ________ spinal cord.
Posterior
How is cerebral blood flow autoregulated?
As a result of autoregulation a constant cerebral blood flow is maintain when MAP is within 60-160. Increase in CPP will cause vasoconstriction whereas decreased in CPP will result in vasodilation to maintain a constant blood flow. MAP>160 will result in hemmorhage whereas MAP<60 will lead to inschemia.

Short answer:
fold that dips into the longitudinal fissure
Differentiate between cerebral steal and inverse steal.
short answer:
- Both conditions occur in a patient with ischemic areas of the brain where vessels are already maximaly dilated. In cerebral steal (luxury perfusion) a vasodilator results in increased flow to nonsichemic areas as they respond to dilation compared to inschemic vessels that are already maximaly dilated. In Inverese steal (robin hood) vasoconstriction results in more blood flow to inschemic areas that remain dilated in the presence of a vasoconstrictor that only affects normal vessels.
Differentiate between supraspinal and spinal anesthesia.
short answer:
- Spinal Analgesia occurs when transmission of pain through SG (L II) is suppressed by neuroaxial admin or when IV opioid acts on periventricular and periaquaductal gray, locus ceruleus, raphe magnus. Mu-2 is the dominant receptor.
- Supraspinal Analgesia occurs when opioids act on limbic system, hypothalamus and thalamus. Mu-1 is the dominant receptor.

describe structure and function of BBB
- Structuraly made up of Exceptionally tight junctions between brain capillary endothelial cells, Basement membrane and Astrocyte processes
- Maintains a constant environment for neurons and protect brain from endogenous or exogenous toxins.
- It prevents the escape of NT from their functional sites in the CNS into general circulation. It allows lipid soluble drugs to cross whereas water soluble substances cannot cross.
MOA of morphine in the substantia gelatinosa. Short answer
- Morphine acts on opioid receptors (mu, keppa, delta) causing inhibition of pain transmission by decreasing Ca++ entry and Increasing K+ out flux resulting in hyperpolarization. As a result, release of substance P is inhibited and Transmission of pain is reduced.
