WEEK 1 - STROKE pt 2 Flashcards
how many fluid systems do we have in the brain?
3
what are the fluid systems in the brain
- vascular (blood)
-extracellular space
-CSF
what is the role of the vascular system
transport oxygen and energy
which blood vessels are we talking baout with the vascular system
ANT cerebral a
MID cerebral a
POST cerebral a
** note arteries AND veins
which cerebral artery is most common for. astroke?
middle
which cerebral artery supplies ,ajority of the lateral aspect of the brain
midd!e
whta is in the extracellular space
collagen fibers
multiadhesive matrix proteins
what IS the extracellular space
Microscopic space between brain cells (between neurons and glia)
what is the role of extracellular psace
provide energy and oxygen
true or false vascular system contains neurons
- false tahts extracellular
are brain cells , neurons , and neurocells interchangeable
yes = they all mena the smae thing
where is the CSF system
ventricles and subarachnoid space
POP QUIZ FOR ANAT:
between what two meningeal layers is the subarachnoid space
below arachnoid and above pia
= real space
what is the role of the csf system
regulation of neural cells’ environment and protection
what are the 3 barriers to protect the braibn
- meninges
- blood brain barrier
- CSF
true or false these protections exist throughout the entire BODY
false, only the brain :)
i guess it can also be the spinal chord without the BBB
what are the 3 layers to meninges
dura
arachnoid
pia
the spider like membrane and hosues blood vessels (meningeal layer ) is …
arachnoid
the me ningeal layer taht enveloppes teh brain is
pia
the touch meningeal layer that hels absorb external shock is
dura
where does csf flow
subarachnoid space
true or false the meninges line the PNS
false , the cns braina nd spinal chord
what is the BBB made of
tight network of capillaries and endothelial cells
can lipids pass throught he BBB
yes, it prevents non lipids
how do non lipid soluble molecules recah the brain ex: glucose
membrane transport mechanisms or ion channels
what doe steh BBB protect
neurons from blood-borne
neurotransmitters,
toxic substances and antibiotics.
antibiotics are improtant for some conditons… like meningitis how do we get it to the brain
find a wya to bind the antibiotics to glucose so that it can use the same cahnnels
what produces CSF
choroid plexus
where are choroid plexus located
in all ventricles
true or false : csf contains blood cells , protein and is coloureless
false : first two are wrong but it is colourless
