Clots Narrowing of arteries Elevated blood pressure Brain swell downward Also need vascular supply as well
Hypoxia
Lack of oxygen
Complete loss if oxygen
Anoxia
Path of blood supply
From heart to internal carotid arteries to circle of Willis
Where do heart muscles pump oxygenated blood
Into the aorta
Where does aorta send blood
To subclavian arteries (l and r)
Where does common carotid artery (l and r) arise from
From l and r subclavians
Where does common carotid artery l and r travel
Upward into the neck and subdivide again around the jaw
What does common carotid artery divide into
Internal and external carotid arteries (l and r)
Move in and thru the skull to the brain where it gets to the c of w
