CNS vasc part 1 Flashcards
vertebral arteries (R and L)
ascend through the transverse foramina of the cervical vertebra and enter the cranial cavity via the foramen magnum.
internal carotid arteries
ascend through the neck to the base of the skull and enter the cranial cavity through the carotid canal.
The vertebral arteries contribute to the ——-
circulation
The vertebral arteries contribute to the posterior circulation
Vertebral arteries
, ascend through the transverse foramina of the cervical vertebra and enter the cranial cavity via the foramen magnum.
pontomedullary junction,
the right and left vertebral arteries unite to form the basilar artery.
The anterior and posterior spinal arteries
arise from the vertebral arteries
supply the spinal cord
anterior and posterior spinal arteries
travel midline spinal cord (
Anterior Spinal Artery
travel just posterior to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord (bilateral)
Posterior Spinal Arteries
spinal arteries braches from the vertebral artery provide
sufficient blood supply to the upper cervical spinal cord levels only.
one anterior and two posterior spinal arteries extend —–to supply the spinal cord
one anterior and two posterior spinal arteries extend caudally to supply the spinal cord
radicular arteries.
reinforce anterior and posterior spinal arteries
radicular arteries
branches off of the posterior intercostal arteries.
radicular artery at ~T12 spinal cord level
called the great radicular artery
may provide the entire arterial supply for the lumbosacral spinal cord.
vertigo and ipsilateral deafness
occlusion of internal auditory or labyrinthine artery
basilar artery terminates by bifurcating
into the two posterior cerebral arteries
which of the following isnt a branch of the basilar art
Anterior inferior cerebellar artery
pontine arteries
Superior cerebellar artery
internal auditory or labyrinthine artery
Posterior inferior cerebellar artery
