Cerebral blood flow and vascular physiology

Monica S Vavilala et al. Anesthesiol Clin North Am. 2002 Jun.

Abstract

The cerebral circulation is tightly regulated to meet the brain's metabolic demands. Although the mechanism is not fully understood, the major physiologic influences on cerebral blood flow have been well documented. In this chapter the basic vascular anatomy, and physiologic control of the cerebral circulation are reviewed. Clinical implications are emphasized.
