To provide alternative routes for blood to reach the brain in case of an obstruction
The cerebral arterial circle, also known as the Circle of Willis, is a communication network of arteries at the base of the brain that provides collateral circulation. It helps to ensure a consistent blood supply to the brain by allowing blood to flow between the internal carotid and vertebrobasilar systems. This can help maintain brain function in the event of a blockage or narrowing in one of the arteries.
Cerebral peduncles are responsible for connecting the cerebrum to the rest of the brain and spinal cord. They contain fiber tracts that carry motor signals from the cerebral cortex to the spinal cord and brainstem. Additionally, they are involved in coordinating voluntary movement and posture.
The UCP questionnaire is designed to assess motor impairment in children with cerebral palsy. It is typically used for children with cerebral palsy levels I-III on the Gross Motor Function Classification System.
The corpus callosum is a structure that connects the two cerebral hemispheres of the brain, allowing them to communicate and share information. It facilitates the transfer of information between the left and right hemispheres, which is important for coordinated brain function and the integration of sensory and motor signals.
No, alcohol relaxes or slows brain activity.
The approximate total surface area of the cerebral cortex is around 2,500 square centimeters in adults.
The function of the cerebal arterial circle (Circle of Willis) is protection. It provides alternate pathways for blood to reach the brain tissues in the case of arterial occlusion or impaired bloodflow anywhere in the system.
yes

I beileve (Looking in my Hole's anatomy & physiology text) that the anterior cerebral branches off the middle cerebral, which branches from the posterior communicating artery. Or it circles around to the anterior communicating artery. They all form the cerebral arterial circle.
cerebral oxygen saturation are weighted venous samples (70% venous, 30% arterial) Pulse oximeter values are based on arterial oxygen saturations.
The function of the cerebral peduncle is the impulse to control the movements of the body. The cerebral peduncle is two cylinders composed entirely of nerves.
its when the brain does not function properly
Cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the brain. Having a brain that is capable of a variety of brain function "causes" the cerebral cortex!
