spinal tap | takes out sample of CSF (often for diagnosis of meningitis or to assess intracranial pressure). thin needle is inserted at base of spin in-between vertebrae into subarachnoid space |
what are the arteries that supply blood to brain | the 2 anterior arteries and the 2 posterior arteries |
what are the anterior arteries of the brain | internal carotid arteries |
where do the internal carotid arteries enter the skull | through neck and into skull via foramen spinosum |

where do the vertebral arteries enter the skull | travel through transverse processes of C1-C6 and enter skull via foramen magnum |
what are the 3 branches you need to know of the Circle of Willis | anterior cerebral arter, middle cerebral artery, posterior cerebral artery |
what portion of the brain does the anterior cerebral artery supply blood to | anterior and medial aspect of each hemisphere |
what portion of the brain does the middle cerebral artery supply blood to | lateral portion of the each hemisphere |
what portion of the brain does the posterior cerebral artery supply blood to | posterior aspect of each hemisphere |
what causes stroke | when one of the cranial vessels becomes blood |
motor and sensory control is distributed across areas supplied by what | middle cerebral artery and anterior cerebral artery |
if it's an artery that supplies blood to the medial area of the brain that is compromised then what will be affected | lateral limbs like legs and arms |
if it's an artery that supplies blood to lateral portions of the brain that is compromised then what will be affected | medial areas of the body like face and the trunk |
what is the purpose of having gyri and sulci in the brain | to increase surface area |
what makes up the brain stem | midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata |
what does the medulla oblongata control | respiratory, breathing |
the brain stem is the origin of what cranial nerves | III-XII |
what is special about the vomiting center in the medulla | it does not have a BBB so that it can sample blood and look for toxins and induce vomiting if there are toxins |
