lecture 7: circualtion brain Flashcards
what are the 2 main arteries we talk about
internal carotid
vertebral
where is the middle meningeal located and what does it supply
near the temple
supples the superficial dira matter
what does the common cartoid split into
internal cartoid
external carotid
what is the pathway for the interal cartoid
through tthe carotid canal, the petrous portion and tthe foreman lacerum
where does the vertebral artery pass before going to brain
through the transvere foramen of the first 6 cervical vertabra
the interal carotid is a division from the what
fivision from the common carotid artery
where does the internal carotid enter the skull
via the carotid canal
the internal carotid artery passes anteriorly and medially thorugh what
the cavernous sinus of the sphenoid body
what are the terminal brances of the int cartoid arttery
anterior cerebrlal
middle cerrebral
what are the two anterior ceberals connected by
anterior communicating artery
where do the vertrbral arteries perforate
throuh the dura and arachnpid to pass through the foramen magnum
the vertebral arteries end up in what space
subarachnod space
where to the 2 vertebral arterios unite and what do they form
unite anterior to pons to form basilar
what do the vertebral arteries unite to form
basilar
what is it called when the vertebral artery and basically artery meet
the vertebrobasilar arterior system
what is the vertebrobasilar arterior system also known as
posterior circulation of the brain
where does the basilar artery lay
lay close to the base of the skull
what does the basilar artery divide into
the 2 posterior ceberal arteries
where do the psoterior cerebral arteies join and how
at the internal carotid via the posterior commnicating arteries
know the circule of willis
l
what are the 3 cerebral arteries
anterior
posterior
middle
what does the atnerior cerebral artery supple
supplies most of the medial and superior surfaces of the brain and frontal pole
in what fissure do the anterior cerbral arteireis pass
pass on top of corpus callosum
in long fissue
what do the middle cerebral arteries supple
the lateral surface of the brain and temporal pole
what fissure do tthe middle cerebral pass through
towards lasteral fissure on top of insula
what do the posterior cerebrals supply
supply the intefeior surface of the brain aand occitial pole
what fissure does the posterior cerebral artery pass near
the transver fissuer
what creates an important anastomosis at the base of the brain
circle of willis
what does the circle of willis provife
an important anastomosis
offers different paths
what arteries form tthe circle of willis
posterior cerebral posterior communicating anterior cerebral anterior communicating internal carotid
true or false; the middle cerebral artery forms part of the circle of willis
no it does not
what structuress lie near the circle of willis
the sella turcica (pituitary)
cavernus sinus
optic neve and chiasm
veins drianing the brain are tribuutairs of what
the large venous sinuese
