anterior communicating runs into what?

A

longitudinal fissure

23
Q

internal carotid becomes middle cerebral which runs into what?

A

lateral fissure

24
Q

Internal carotid arteries
- Anterior cerebral arteries
- Middle cerebral arteries
which circulation is this?

A

anterior circulation

25
Q
  • Vertebral arteries
  • Basilar artery
  • Posterior cerebral arteries
  • Cerebellar arteries
    which circulation is this?
A

posterior circulation

26
Q

how big is the circle of willis?

A

1mm diameter

27
Q

Circle of willis equalizes blood pressure in the brain but wont save you from a stroke. T or F

A

True.

28
Q

stroke in posterior cerebral artery whats the symptoms?

A

ataxia and vision effected

29
Q

middle cerebral stroke what is effected? is this the most common stroke type?

A

yes the most common and SPEECH is effected.

loss of feeling and all other frontal lobe stuff.

30
Q

if anterior stroke what is effected?

A

LEGS MOTOR AND SENSORY loss from hips down

31
Q

if you knock out central part of the brain, what happens to the body?

A

one side of the body goes out.

32
Q

how long does it take to know how bad a stroke was?

A

3 months

33
Q

what type of stroke is rare but has great recovery?

A

hemi-stroke

34
Q

what is a TIA?

A

Trans- Ischemic Attack

35
Q 
what is classified as a "warning"?
Temporary ischemia in cerebral artery 
Loss of function of the affected area
Pre-stroke
Embolism (something that blocks blood supply ie. Air, blot clot, fat, Stroke), vasospasm where blood vessels usually constrict or contract (cause heart attack)
Usually treated with blood thinners
More focal
A

TIA

36
Q

focal means what?

A

blackout in one eye but then it comes back.

37
Q

what disease can cause one to lose vision in one eye?

A

multiple sclerosis

38
Q

“temporary heart attack”

A

angina

39
Q

Cerebral blood vessel rupture
Aneurism (bulge in artery wall, bubble) will burst
Subarachnoid or parenchymal
Anticoagulants (not used for hemoratcic stroke) increase risk
HTN (hypertension) increases risk
Something burst, your bleeding out
what type of stroke am I?

A

hemmorrhagic stroke

40
Q

what is a stroke?

A

aneurism burst

41
Q

what is an aneurism?

A

bulge of blood in artery

42
Q 
Blockage in cerebral arteries
Emboli:  clots, fat, air (ischemia)
TIA: Transischemic Attack (temporary blockage)
DVT: Deep Vein Thromboses
tPA:  Tissue plasminogen activator
              Thrombolytic (clot buster)
what type of stroke am I?
A

occlusive stroke

43
Q

what is DVT?

A

Deep Vein Thrombosis. Blood in your knees slows down when sitting.

44
Q

what is a TIA?

A

Transischemic attack which is a temporary blockage.

45
Q

what is a tPA?

A

Tissue plasminogen activator

Thrombolytic (clot buster)
