Terms in this set (189)



What percent of body weight is the brain 2%

minute


What percent of oxygen does the brain use 20%

ischemic brain injury lack of oxygen in brain tissue


what occurs as a result of ischemia in the compensatory vasodilation
CNS


vasodilation creates what edema- brain begins to be crushed by soul (ICP)
