Q

Prefrontal cortex can be fed by

A

Both ant and middle CA

16
Q

Why have collateral supply

A

A system of blood supply to the brain in case of blockage

17
Q

There is some overlap between the cerebral arteries as distribution spreads out to

A

Small vessels at the periphery

18
Q

Blockages in supply at the periphery will have…

A

Less impact than blockage in supply elsewhere

19
Q

Peripheral blockages (small vessels) may have some compensation from…

A

Collateral distribution

20
Q

What is the blood brain barrier BBB

A

Selective permeability of capillaries, arteries

A astrocytes help form barrier

21
Q

BBB restricts toxic substances from

A

Leaving the bloodstream and entering the brain tissue or extracellular fluid

22
Q

BBB keeps most bacteria out but

A

Also keeps many helpful antibodies out

23
Q

Allows good stuff in and some bad stuff out

A

Nexttt

24
Q

Oxygen and glucose

A

Get in

25
Q

Carbon dioxide

A

Get out

26
Q

Some hormones

A

Get through

27
Q

But BBB is permeable to

A

Alcohol l, some

Heavy metals, caffeine, nicotine

28
Q

Effectiveness of meds dependent on how you get the meds to cross the

A

BBB
Sometimes gave to use glucose as Transport system
Tight junctions hard to get meds through
