Question
Answer
rupture of this artery --> epidural bleed   middle meningeal artery  
🗑
CSF - how much made each day, how much ciruclating in brain at any time   600 mL produced by chorioid plexus of pia mater. 130 mL circulating before resorbed into arachnoid villia  
🗑
CSF pressure, properties   12mmHg, similar to plasma with lower protein count. No RBCs, 0-5 WBCs. protects, lubricates  
🗑
lumbar puncture taken from where   between 3-4th lumbar vertebrae subarachnoid space, ventriculostomy of 3rd or lateral ventrical  
🗑
What % of CO goes to brain, what molecule regulates vasodilation   20%. C02 is regulator/vasodilator. If cerebral C02 increased-->vasodil to get more blood to brain. Decreased C02 --> vasoCon  
🗑
Cerebral circulation - does blood move forward and backwards?   no, circulation ALWAYS moves forward  
🗑
Which cerebral arter is site of major strokes   middle cerebral artery  
🗑
path of cerbral circulation   internal carotids --> anterior & middle cerebral arteries -->vertebral arteries fuse into basilar artery --> branches to posterior cerebral artery. Both internal caratoids also interconnected with anterior/posterior communicating arteries  
🗑
Circle of Willis   provides back-up circulation by providing interconnections between internal carotid arteries and basilar artery  
🗑
Where does cerebral blood drain   into venous plexuses, dural sinuses then to juglars  
🗑
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)  
🗑
condition caused by occlusion of anterior cerebral artery   hemiplegia on contralateral side  
🗑
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  
🗑
in terms of energy mobilization, symp and psym-->   sympathetic mobilizes energy, parasympathetic conserves energy  
🗑
