blood supply and stroke: CSF Flashcards
cerebrovascular disease:
- affects 500,000 per year
- 3rd leading cause of death
- leading cause fo neurologic disability
- include strokes
what are the 2 kinds of strokes?
- ischemic
- hemmorhagic
ischemic strokes
- blood clot prevents blood flow to brain
- if it stay deprives for a few mins, the Na/K pump will not work
- damage to cell and cell death
hemmorhagic stroke
- blood vessel in brain breaks open
- blood flow into skull
- cause edema
- often occurs due to aneurysms (weakened arterial walls)
what is the occurance of ischemic vs hemorrhagic strokes?
ischemic = 80%
hemmorhagic = 20%
what arteries supply the brain?
- internal carotids
- vertebral arteries
the circle of willis
arteries included
BLOOD DOES NOT FLOW THROUGH THE CIRCLE OF WILLIS, IT IS SOMETHING FORMED BY THE CONNECTIONS
- vertebral arteries
- basilar artery
- posterior cerebral arteries
- superior cerebellar artery
- anterior inferior cerebellar artery
- posterior inferior cerebellar artery
- internal carotids
- middle cerebral
- anteriror cerebral
- posterior communicating
- anterior communicating
where deos the vertebral artery enter the skull and join to form the basilar artery?
basus pontus
superior cerebellar artery supplies:
the superior surface of the cerebellum
the anterior inferior and posterior inferior cerebellar arteries supply:
the brain stem
which artery branches to for the middle and anterior cerebellar arteries?
internal carotid
what is the path of the middle cerebral artery?
- sylvian fissure between hemispheres
- supplies medial surface of the cortex
the anterior cerebral artery pathway
- travels the longitudinal fissure between hemispheres
- curves over corpus callosum
- supplies medial surface of the cortex
- connected by anterior communicating artery
what connects the posterior cerebral and internal carotid arteries in the circle of willis?
posterior communicating artery
what hooks behind the oculomotor nerve?
posterior cerebral artery
where is the circle of willis located?
base of the brain
vertebral arteries
- left and right
- form the basilar artery
the internal carotid arteries
- paired
- branch into the middle cerebral, anterior cerebral, and posterior communicating arteries
- mainly flow into the middle cerebral
