Most veins in brain located where located OUTSIDE of skull-->external jugular
Venous sinuses located where located INSIDE skull--> internal jugular
occlusion of anterior cerebral artery impacts what region of brain frontal, parietal lobes (basal ganglia, corpous callosum)

occlusion of middle cerbral artery is sign of major strokes and affects these regions frontal, parietal and temporal lobes
conditions caused by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery aphasia in dominant hemisphere, contralateral hemiplegia
occlusion of posterior cerebral artery impacts what regions diencephalon, temporal and occipital lobes
conditions caused by occlusion of posterior cerebral artery visual & sensory loss, contralateral hemiplegia if cerebral peduncles
how do we measure cerebral blood flow MAP between 50-150 mmHg. if below 50, we have diminished flow. Above 150 indicates hyperemic increased blood flow, risk of bleed
What can cause increased ICP tumor, head injury, increased CSF or blood
BBB formed by astrocytes and junctions between endothelial cells of capillaries
What transport mechanism used to transport across BBB active pumps used
Clinical procedures for drug admin across BBB ventriculostomy, intrathecal, lumbar pump
