Blood Supply To Brain Flashcards
Which part of ICA does not give any branch?
Cervical part
The petrous, Cavernous and Intracranial parts of the ICA are called
Carotid siphon ~ because of its Sigmoid course
4 parts of ICA
- Cervical part
- Petrous part
- Cavernous part
- Cerebral / Supracavernal part
Branches from Petrous part of ICA
- Caroticotympanic branch
2. Artery to pterygoid canal
Which part of ICA gives following branches;
Branch to Trigeminal Ganglion
Meningeal branch
Branch to Cavernous sinus
Hypophyseal branches
Cavernous Part of the ICA
Branches of Cerebral part / Supracavernal part of ICS
- Ophthalmic artery
- Ant. Choroidal artery
- Post. Communicating artery
Terminal Branches;
Anterior and Middle Cerebral Artery
Largest branch of the Vertebral artery is
PICA
A disruption in blood supply in the PICA leads to
Lateral Medullary Syndrome/
Wallenberg Syndrome
Vertebral artery > PICA
Branches of the Cranial portion of the Vertebral artery are:
- Meningeal branches ~ to posterior cranial fossa
- Post. Spinal Arteries ~ to post. 1/3rd of the spinal cord
- Ant. Spinal Artery ~ to ant. 2/3rd of the spinal cord
- PICA ~
- Medullary branches ~ to medulla
PICA supplies
Lateral part of Medulla
Cerebellar hemisphere
Choroid plexus of 4th Ventricle
Labrynthine artery is a branch of
AICA 80% > Basilar 20%
Branches of Basilar Artery
- Pontine Arteries
- Labyrinthine artery
- AICA
- Superior Cerebellar Artery
Circle of Willis does not get a contribution from the Middle cerebral artery.
True/False
True
Arteries forming Circle of Willis are:
- Ant. Comm. artery
- Ant. Cerebral arteries
- ICA
- Post. Comm. Arteries
- Post. Cerebral arteries
- Basilar artery
Visual Cortex is supplied by
Posterior Cerebral Artery
