Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 7ILQ
Watch this animation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/bloodflow1) to see how blood flows to the brain and passes through the circle ofWillis before being distributed through the cerebrum. The circle of Willis is a specialized arrangement of arteries that ensure constant perfusion of the cerebrum even in the event of a blockage of one of the arteries in the circle. The animation shows the normal direction of flow through the circle of Willis to the middle cerebral artery. Where would the blood come from if there were a blockage just posterior to the middle cerebral artery on the left?

The middle cerebral artery (MCA) is the most common of the cerebral arteries to be affected by stroke.
A patient is sent in to emergency with difficulty speaking and weakness in her right arm. She is able to follow instructions, but is unable to speak. When the doctor asks her to hold both of her arms up in front of her, her Right arm slowly drifts back down to her side.
What SPECIFIC area of the brain must be affected in order to cause the weakness?
You are walking to class, pondering the intricacies of physiology, when you trip over an uneven place in the sidewalk and fall. Unhurt but embarrassed and angry, you jump up and glance around to see if anyone is watching. From your knowledge of neuroanatomy and function, explain how the following areas of the brain might be involved in this scenario:
cerebrum
cerebellum
limbic system
Make a flow chart of the path that cerebrospinal fluid follows as it flows from the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricles all the way to the central canal and back to the venous system via the arachnoid granulations.
