Different arteries and resulting impairment

Question 1

Anterior cerebral artery supplies…

Answer 1

Motor cortex
Sensory cortex
Supplementary motor area
Broca's area
Prefrontal cortex

Question 2

ACA resulting impairment

Answer 2

Weakness and loss of sensation in contra-lateral lower limb
Pre-frontal cortex- behavioural changes and hemi neglect
Broca’s area- production of speech

Question 3

Middle cerebral artery supplies…

Answer 3

Motor cortex
Sensory cortex
Wernicker’s area

Question 4

MCA resulting impairment

Answer 4

Weakness and loss of sensation in contralateral side of head, upper limb and trunk
Wernicker’s area- comprehension of speech

Question 5

MCA deep branches supplies…

Answer 5

Globus pallidus
Caudate and putamen
Internal capsule

Question 6

MCA deep branches resulting impairment

Answer 6

Contralateral upper motor hemiparesis

Internal capsule- reduced communication, important for movement

Question 7

Posterior cerebral artery supplies…

Answer 7

Occipital lobe
Primary and secondary visual areas
Corpus callosum

Question 8

PCA deep branches supplies

Answer 8

Thalamus

Posterior limb internal capsule

Question 9

PCA resulting impairment

Answer 9

Contralateral homonymous hemianopia
Hemisensory loss
Corpus callosum- loss of contact between hemispheres- speech and movement ataxia
