CHAPTER IX
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
The brain has a few regions. The most obvious is the cerebrum, which is divided into two cerebral hemispheres, each of
which has a cortex. The outer region is divided into four lobes including the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe and
the occipital lobe. The cerebellum which is located below and the brainstem which connects to the spinal cord. The right
cerebrum controls the muscles on the left side of your body and vice versa. The frontal lobe controls movement, and
executive functions, which is our ability to make decisions. The parietal lobe processes sensory information, which lets us
locate exactly where we are physically and guides movements in a three-dimensional space. The temporal lobe plays a
role in hearing, smell and memory, as well as visual recognition of faces and languages. The occipital lobe is primarily
responsible for vision. The cerebellum helps with muscle coordination and balance. The brainstem plays a vital role in
functions like heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, gastrointestinal function and consciousness.
The brain receives blood from the left and right carotid arteries, as well as the left and right vertebral arteries, which come
together to form the basilar artery. The internal carotid arteries turn into the left and right middle cerebral arteries which
serve the lateral portions of the frontal, parietal and temporal lobes of the brain. Each of the internal carotid arteries also
give off branches called the anterior cerebral arteries which serve the medical portion of the frontal and parietal lobes and
connect with one another whit a short little connecting blood vessels called the anterior communicating artery. Meanwhile,
the vertebral arteries and basilar arteries give off branches to supply the cerebellum and the brainstem.
In addition, the basilar artery divides to become the right and left posterior cerebral artery which mainly serves the
occipital lobe and some of the temporal lobe as well as the thalamus. Finally, the internal carotid arteries each give off a
branch called the posterior communicating artery which attaches to the posterior arteries on each side. So together, the
main arteries and the communicating arteries complete what is called the Circle of Willis. The Circle of Willis is the ring
where blood can circulate from one side to the other in case of a blockage. It also offers alternative ways for blood to get
around an obstructed vessel.
In general, the brain can get by on diminished blood flow, especially when it happens gradually because that allows
enough time for collateral circulation to develop, which is where a nearby vessel starts sending out branches of blood
vessels to serve an area that’s in need. But once the supply of blood flow is reduced to below the needs of the tissue it
causes tissue damage, which we call an ischemic stroke.
