Do all areas of the body have collateral circulation?
Collateral circulation is the formation of new blood vessels to circulate blood. Not all areas of the body have collateral circulation since it is formed by normally closed arteries.
Define the term collateral blood flow and describe how this and other factors affect the development of a stroke?
When a collateral vessel on the heart enlarges, it lets blood flow from an opencoronary artery to an adjacent one or further downstream on the same artery. In this way, collateral vessels grow and form a kind of "detour" around a blockage. This collateral circulation provides alternate routes of blood flow to the heart in cases when the heart isn't getting the blood supply it needs. When an artery in the brain is blocked due to stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), open collateral vessels can allow blood to "detour" around the blockage. This collateral circulation restores blood flow to the affected part of the brain.
