head and neck ch 8 Flashcards
Telencephalon
cerebrum, divided into cerebral hemispheres with
diencephalon
thalamus & hypothalamus, It is considered the most rostral part of brainstem
mesencephalon
midbrain, first part of brainstem. Located at junction of middle and posterior cranial fossae
metencephalon
cerebeullum and pons,
myelencephalon
medulla oblongata, caudal most part of brainstem. Ends at foramen magnum
what 2 pairs of arteries supply the brain and form the cerebral arterial circle?
vertebral arteries and internal carotid arteries
which 2 form the basilar artery?
vertebral arteries
Vertebral arteries
from 1st part of subclavian. Pass transverse foramen of first 6 cervical vert. then enter foramen magnum
anterior spinal artery
branches from both sides join and travel down the anterior median fissure of spinal cord
posterior spinal artery
branches from both sides and passes posteriorly around medulla
posterior inferior cerebellar artery
just before the 2 vertebral arteries they give this off.
basilar branches ( caudal to rostrum)
anterior inferior cerebellar a. pontine a. superior cerebellar a.
basilar a. bifurcates into what?
2 posterior cerebral arteries.
Internal carotid arteries
Enter skull via carotid canal. Gives off ophthalmic a, posterior communicating a., middle cerebral a., and anterior cerebral a.
what connects the internal carotid aa to the cerebral circle?
posterior communicating aa
