BS to the Brain (Mixed) Flashcards
Artery: Major artery to medial aspect of cortex
Anterior Cerebral Artery
Artery: supplies pyraminds, medial lemniscus, medial longitudinal fasciculus, CN XII, inferior olive
Anterior Spinal Artery
6 Branches of the Internal Carotids
- Anterior Cerebral
- Middle Cerebral
- Opthalamic
- Anterior Choroidal
- Anterior Communicating
- Posterior Communicating
Artery: feeds speech, language, thalamus, basal ganglia
Middle Cerebral Artery
Artery: Supplies superior and midde cerebral peduncles, medial and lateral lemnisucus, spinothalamic tract
Superior Cerebellar Artery
Artery: Major artery to lateral cortex
Middle Cerebral Artery
Artery: Supplies spinothalamic and spinocerebellary tracts, descending portion of CN V, CN IX and X (nuclues ambigus), midbrain, vermis, inferior cerebellum
PICA
Artery: Feeds the visual cortex, hippocampus, and lingual gyrus
Posterior Cerebral Artery
Artery: Supplies most of midbrain, thalamus, temporal lobe, medial/inferior occipital lobe
Posterior Cerebral Artery
Artery: Supplies pontine nuclei, CN nuclei, corticobulbar and corticospinal tracts in pontine area
Pontine Artery
Artery: Feeds LE sesnation/motor, sensory association regons, executive functions, scheduling/planning, motivation, conflict resolution
