7
Carotid System 500

• This is the shortest artery in the brain.
• This artery connects the left and right halves of
  the anterior system.

What is the anterior communicating artery?
Return to Game Board
8
Vertebrobasilar System 100

• These arteries travel to the brain through the
  foramina in the transverse processes of cervical
  vertebrae.

What are the vertebral arteries?
Return to Game Board
9
Vertebrobasilar System 200

• This artery traverses the ventral surface of the
  pons.

What is the basilar artery?
Return to Game Board
10
Vertebrobasilar System 300

• This is the number of arteries supplying the
  cerebellum.

What is 3?
Return to Game Board
11
Vertebrobasilar System 400

• This artery supplies oxygen to the inferior
  surface of the temporal and occipital lobes.

What is the posterior cerebral artery?
Return to Game Board
12
Vertebrobasilar System 500

• This artery is formed by descending branches of
  the vertebral arteries and supplies the anterior
  2/3 of the spinal cord.

What is the anterior spinal artery?
Return to Game Board
13
Veins 100

• This structure drains the superior white matter
  in the brain.

What is the superior sagittal sinus?
Return to Game Board
14
Veins 200

• This structure drains blood from the area of the
  hypothalamus and hypophysis (pituitary gland).

What is the cavernous sinus?
Return to Game Board
15
Veins 300

• These structures drain blood around the lateral
  surface of the brainstem just above the
  cerebellum.

What are the transverse sinuses?
Return to Game Board
16
Veins 400

• This structure empties blood from the brain into
  the jugular vein.

What is the sigmoid sinus?
Return to Game Board
17
Veins 500

• This structure delivers blood from the thalamus
  and deep white matter of the brain out to the
  surface.

What is the straight sinus?
Return to Game Board
18
Miscellaneous 100

• Although the brain accounts for only about 2 of
  body mass, it is responsible for this percent of
  oxygen consumption at rest.

What is 20?
Return to Game Board
19
Miscellaneous200

• This anestomosis connects the major arteries of
  the brain.

What is the circle of Willis?
Return to Game Board
20
Miscellaneous300

• These arteries connect the carotid and
  vertebrobasilar systems.

What are the posterior communicating arteries?
Return to Game Board
21
Miscellaneous400

• This is the brains only source of energy.
• Because of this the brain requires a constant
  supply of oxygen and glucose making it
  susceptible to ischemia.

What is aerobic or oxidative metabolism?
Return to Game Board
22
Miscellaneous500

• This artery perfuses the thalamus and
  hypothalamus.

What is the posterior cerebral artery?
Return to Game Board
23
Pathology 100

• This is the leading cause of chronic functional
  disability requiring therapeutic intervention.

What is stroke?
Return to Game Board
24
Pathology 200

• Death due to stroke probably involved occlusion
  of this system.

What is the vertebrobasilar system?
Return to Game Board
25
Pathology 300

• Occlusion of this artery is the most common cause
  of stroke.
• Occlusion of this artery produces sensory and
  motor impairments of the face and upper
  extremity on the right.

What is the left middle cerebral artery?
Return to Game Board
26
Pathology 400

• Occlusion of this artery produces sensory and
  motor impairments of the lower extremity on the
  left.

What is the right anterior cerebral artery?
Return to Game Board
27
Pathology 500

• Occlusion of this artery produces sensory and
  motor impairments of the face, upper extremity,
  and lower extremity on the right.

What is the left internal carotid artery?
