Document Summary

At 2% of the body mass, the brain takes 15% of total cardiac output because of its high metabolic activity at rest but limited ability to store energy substrates or oxygen. Some organs get more blood flow than others. These are the blood vessels that lie outside of the brain. They will also lie under the dura mater, surface of the brain. We have 4 vessels that come in to the brain: internal carotid, mid cerebral, anterior communicating and posterior communicating. Middle cerebral artery branches off the circle of willis; the middle artery goes up the insular cortex region up through the large/middle part of the brain; it also perfuses the subcortical gray matter (hippocampus, putainmen, megidula, thalamus) You do have anterior cerebral arteries and posterior cerebral cortex; anterior: it is all about cognitive parts of the brain as well as the pre-frontal; posterior: visual cortex.
