Bloodsupply Of The Brain Flashcards
ARTERIES
- Circulus Arteriosus CEREBRI
(Willis arterial circle)
- Surround hemispheres + Chiasma opticum - A. CHOROIDEA rostralis
- Plexus Choroideus - A. Cerebri rostrale
Ex A. carotis interna
= Rostral part of the Circulus
I: A. Meninges rostr (fe)
- Dura mater ENCEPHALI
II: a. Ethmoidalis int
- Ramifies from Foss Ethmoidalis (rostr)
III: A.communicans rostralis - Chiasma opticus
Ex a. CEREBRI rostralis!
- RR. Cortecales —> Cortex cerebri
- Rr Centrales —> Brain, deep
- A. CEREBRI media —> circulus —> Lobus piriformis
- Rr. corticales —> Cortex
- Rr. Centralis —> deep Brain
- Rr. Striati —> Corpus striatum - A.communicates caudalis = caud. Part of CIRCULUS
Ex. Carotis INT!
+ A.basilaris - A.Cerebri caudalis (*2 EQ)
- Rr. choroidei caud —> plexus choroideus
- Rr. Corticales —> Cortex
- Rr. Centrales —> Brain - A. Basilaris = Ventral to RHOMBENCEPHALON
- A.cerebelli rostralis —> Cerebellum
ex. A. Basilaris - A. Cerebelli caudalis!

A. Cerebelli rostralis Rami ad pontem A.Cerebelli caudalis A. basilaris A. vertebralis
VENOUS SYSTEM
= SINUS DURA MATRIS
DORSAL
1. SINUS saggitalis dorsalis
—> FALX Cerebri (dura matter ENCEPHALI)
- SINUS rectus —> FALX Cerebri
Ex Cerebri magna - SINUS transversus
—> in Tentorium Cerebelli - SINUS temporalis Ø:EQ!!
—> To Ventral VENOUS system
Ex SINUS transversus
VENTRAL
1. SINUS cavernosus —> lat to hypothalamus
- SINUS basilaris
Ex plexus vertebralis interna Ventralis - SINUS petrosus Ventralis
Ex. SINUS cavernosum (caud) - SINUS intercavernosi
—> Rostral and caudal to hypothalamus
- Connects with SINUS Cavernosi
Blood Vessels of the Brain
Horse and dog: mainly from Paired.
A. CAROTICA INTERNA
Pig and Cat: A.carotica int closes shortly after birth —> Bloodsupply provided by branches of the MAXILLARY Artery
—> branches forming complicated a. network at the base of the Brain forming:
Rostral and caudal EPIDURAL RETIA MIRABILIA
—> Unites in CEREBRAL CAROTID A.
A.CAROTICA INTERNA in horse and dog \+ A. CAROTIS CEREBRII in other => Penetrate dura matter at DIAPHRAGMA SELLAE —> forming a ring: CIRCLE of WILLIS - only compleeted in the DOG - rorstrallt open in other
The arterial ring is joined CAUDALLY by:
A. BASILARIS and Vertebral arteries
OX: Vertebral a contributes bigger portion to CIRCLE of WILLIS.
CIRCLE + BASiLLaR A. Mainbranches:
- A. CEREBRI ROSTRALIS
- A. CEREBRI MEDIA
- A. CEREBRI CAUDALIS
- A. CEREBELLI ROSTRALIS
- A. CEREBELLI CAUDALIS
