blood supply Flashcards
Origin of Left Carotid Artery
Arch of aorta
Origin of Common Carotid Artery
Brachiocephalic Artery
Arteries of Head and Neck
- Common Carotid Artery(ICA, ECA)
- Subclavian Artery(VA)
from the bifurcation at the CCA
ICA
It goes upward deeper into the brain, whereas the external carotid goes more superficial to supply head and face
ICA
It pierces base of the skull through the carotid canal of the temporal bone
ICA
Major Arteries of the Brain
- ICA
- VA
four portions of ICA
o cervical
o petrous
o cavernous
o cerebral
It begins at the bifurcation of the common carotid, opposite the upper border of the thyroid cartilage
Cervical Portion
when the ICA enters the canal in the petrous portion of the temporal bone, it first ascends a short distance
Petrous Portion
between the layers of dura mater forming the cavernous sinus
Cavernous Portion
after perforation of the dura mater on the medial side of the anterior clinoid process
Cerebral Portion
first branch of the COW
ICA:Opthalmic
choroid plexus
ICA: Choroidal
Temporary Monocular Blindness
Amaurosis Fugax
recurrent aa of Heubner/medial striate:
amygdala, pallidum, internal capsule, caudate nucleus
ACA
Horizontal branches of ACA
optic nn, optic chiasm, hypothalamus, anterior commissure, fornix
weakness or inability to move one side of the body
Hemiparesis(PRECENTRAL GYRUS)
weakness or inability to sense or feel one side of the body
Hemisensory loss(POSTCENTRAL GYRUS)
limited verbal and motor responsiveness
Abulia/Akinetic Mutism
loss of the ability to execute or carry out skilled movements and gestures
Apraxia(CORPUS CALLOSUM)
inability to recognize a person or an object
Agnosia(POST CENTRAL GYRUS)
person leaks urine involuntarily and accidently
Urinary Incontinence/Incontinence(SUP. FRONTAL GYRUS)
all motor area except leg area
MCA
lateral surface cerebral hemisphere
MCA
inability to communicate effectively w others(language disorder)
Aphasia
an impaired ability to organize and interpret sensory experience, causing difficulty in observing, recognizing, and understanding people, situations, words, numbers, concepts, or images.
