Brain Blood flow Flashcards
Anterior vs posterior circulation
Ant: common coratid ➡️ Internal coratid
Post: Subclavian a ➡️ Verterbral a
ACA major branches
Callosomarginaal artery - around limbic cortex
Pericallosal artery directly around corpus callosum
MCA 3 divisions
- Stem ➡️ Lenticulostriate a
- superior
- inferior
MCA supplies what
2/3 of cortex
lateral frontal and parital
lateral temporal
insular cortex
deep subcortical structures
- basal ganglia
- internal capsule
- limbic cortex
Anterior chordial artery comes from
internal corotid near MCA
Anterior choroidal artery supplies
choroid plexus of lateral ventricle
optic tract
posterior internal capsule
basal ganglia
Circle of willis is what
Anastomosis of cerebral arteries
cirle of willis components
ACA
PCA
ant. communicaing a
post. communicating a
PCA comes from
Basliar artery
PCA branches superficial and deep
superficial: ant and post inferior temporal a., calcarine a
deep: tuberothalamic a, thalamogeniculate a, posterior choidal a
Superficial branches (PCA) supply
medial and inferior occipital lobes
inferior temporal lobes
deep branches (PCA) supply
subcortical structures
- mid brain,
- thalamus,
- subthalamic structures
Vertebral artery branches
Anterior spinal
posterior spinal
posterior inferior cerebellar a PICA
basilar a
ant spinal supplies
2/3 spinal cord
post spinal supplies
1/3 spinal cord
