supply inferior and medial tempral and occipital lobes, striatum , thalamus, midbrain
|
|
circle of willis component
|
* Anterior cerebral artery (left and right)
* Anterior communicating artery * Internal carotid artery (left and right) * Posterior cerebral artery (left and right) * Posterior communicating artery (left and right) - basilar arteries |
|
circle of willis communicate via
|
anastomoses (arterialjunction) of two internal carotid a. , basiar a., and their branches
|
|
importance of circle of willis
|
allow blood that enter by with internal carotid or vertebral a. to be distributed to any part of both cerebral h.
(when occlideoccur on one side, bloodmay pass to opp. side to compensate) |
|
most common site of aneurysms (dilatation of a blood vessel)
|
anastomoses on circle of willis
|
|
function of veins and venous sinus
|
return blood from brain to jugular vien -->heart
|
|
SINUS
|
- superior sagittal sinus
- inferior sagittal sinus -straight sinus - transverse sinus - cavernous sinus |
|
VEIN
|
external cerebral veins
great cerebral vein |
|
external cerebral veins
|
- drain lateral surafce of brain
- empty into superior sagittal and cavernous sinuses |
|
great cerebral vein
|
- drain smaller internal ceins
- empty into straight sinuses |
|
acute disruption of normal blood circulation in brain
|
stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA)
|
|
types of CVA involve
|
1 hemorrphage (bleeding) 2 obstruction of artery
|
|
location of intracranial hemorrphage
|
- subdural
0 subarachnoid - extradural |
|
cause of subdural hemorrphafw

cause of extradural hemoorphage
|
skull fracture causing tearing of meningeal a. and viens ..most often middle meningeal a.**
minor blow to side of head which fractur parietal bone and severe artery |
|
cerebral hemorrphae due to
|
rupture of branch MCA (middle cerebral a.)
|
|
result of cerebral hemorrphage
|
involve internal capsule, produce ontralateral hemiplegia and loos of consciousness
|
|
cereal ischemia
|
arterial occlusion usually by embolism (forign object - air, blood, clot, fat) in circulatory system outside of brain
|
|
thrombosis
|
arterial obstruction by blood clot ,involve vessles leafing to or inside brain
|
|
cerebral ischmiacause arrest of cerebral blood flow and follow by
|
1 neuronal dunction ceases after about 1 min, irreversible changes after 4 mins
2. hearing loss due to lack of bloodflow |
|
most common cause of global cerebral ischemia
|
cardiac arret fur to coronary thrombosis
|
|
progressive cerebral ischemia is due to
|
narrow of arteries or tmor expansion
|
|
loval dilation of vessel result from weaking of arterial wall
|
cerebral aneurysm
|
|
cerebral aneyrysm effecrt
|
1 press on neighboring structure (cranial nerve)
2 sudden rupture of aneurysm dill subarachnois --> pain and mental confusion/ death |
|
