Neuro test 1 pwp 3_blood flow Flashcards
brain needs __% of cardiac output
17%
cardiac output formula
heart rate X stroke volume
the 2 main sources of blood supply to the brain?
ICA and the vertebral artery
ICA is a branch of the
common carotid artery
ICA mostly supplies this structure of the brain?
supratentorial structures of the brain
ICA is divided __ parts
4
the four parts of the ICA
cervical
petrous
cavernous
cerebral aka supraclinoid, intracranial
cervical part of ICA runs with what other 2 structures in the carotid sheath
CN X and internal jugular vein
carotid sinus reflex syndrome
stimulation of carotid sinus triggers baroreceptors reflex and increased vagal tone affecting SA and AV nodes.
complication arising from carotid sinus massage include
cardiac arrhythmias and neurologic sequelae
petrous part of ICA enters the skull through which foramen
carotid canal of the petrous part of the temporal bone
which ICA portion supplies branches to the tympanic cavity (ossicle bones)
petrous part
Petrous part of
ICA crosses over which foramen when entering the middle cranial fossa
foramen lacerum
cavernous branch of ICA passes through
cavernous sinus on each side of the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone
the cavernous sinus contains which CN’s and fibers?
CNs 3, 4 V1,V2 & 6
sympathetic fibers travel with the arteries
cavernous artery branches into 2
inferior hypophyseal and anterior meningeal
inferior hypophyseal supplies the
pituitary gland
anterior meningeal artery supplies the
meninges of the anterior cranial fossa
arterial supply of the dura?
anterior meningeal arteries and the middle meningeal artery
middle meningeal artery is a branch of?
the maxillary artery
what foramen does the middle meningeal artery enter through?
spinosum
what are the branches of the middle meningeal artery?
anterior and posterior
what does the anterior branch of the middle meningeal artery cross over?
pterion to get to the vertex of the skull
the posterior MMA branch pass what direction to supply which portion of the skull?
posterosuperior direction to supply the middle cranial fossa
cerebral part has 5 branches?
ophthalmic, anterior choroidal artery, posterior communicating, anterior cerebral, middle cerebral artery
what does the ophthalmic artery supply?
eye and the gives the superior hypophyseal artery to the pituitary
anterior choroidal artery anastomes with what other artery and where??
the posterior choroidal artery at the trigone of the lateral ventricle
anterior cerebral artery enters what structure??
the longitudinal fissure and runs along the medial surface of the cerebral hemisphere
largest terminal branch of the cerebral part?
MCA
what does the MCA run along and what portion of the cerebral hemisphere does it supply?
runs along the lateral fissure and supplies the lateral surface of the cerebral hemisphere
what are the main two arteries that supply the supratentorial region?
ACA and MCA
two groups of the cerebral arteries
cortical arteries and the central arteries
What are the cortical arteries and what portion of the brain do they supply?
ACA, MCA, PCA
they supply the cortex of the cerebral hemispheres
central arteries supply what structure of the brain?
deep brain –> caudate nucleus, thalamus, hippocampus, deep basal ganglia etc.
subcomponents of the basal ganglia
caudate nucleus, lentiform nuclei
main function of the caudate nucleus?
goal directed behaviors
the main function of the basal ganglia?
facilitates desired motions while inhibiting unwanted motions
some other functions of the basal ganglia?
planning, organizing, and coordinating movements and posture.
HElp keep movement controlled.
hippocampus is involved in
learning as well as storage and retrieval of short and long term memories
which ones anastomose; central arteries OR cortical arteries?
cortical arteries
ACA supplies blood to which portions of the brain?
medial and the frontal and parietal & 1 inch strip on the superior aspect of the lateral surface of the brain
