Dysarthria - answer--Difficulty with speech caused by impairment of the
tongue or muscles essential to speech
Common Carotid Artery (CCA) - answer--Arises from the aortic arch on
the left side and from the innominate artery on the right side
Bruit - answer--Noise caused by tissue vibration produced by turbulence
that cause flow disturbance
Dysphagia - answer--Inability to swallow or difficulty in swallowing
Ataxia - answer--Impaired ability to coordinate movement, especially
disturbances in gait
Vertigo - answer--Sensation of having objects move about the person or
sensation of moving around in space
Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) - answer--Larger of the two terminal
branches that arise from the common carotid artery
,Vertebral Artery - answer--Larger branches of the subclavian artery that
merge to form the basilar artery
Amaurosis Fugax - answer--Transient partial or complete loss of vision in
one eye
Reversible Ischemic Neurologic Deficit - answer--Cerebral infarct that
lasts longer than 24 hours but less than 72 hours
Hemiparesis - answer--Unilateral partial or complete paralysis
Collateral pathway - answer--Develops because of vessel obstruction;
smaller side branches of the vessel provide alternative flow pathways
Aphasia - answer--Inability to communicate by speech or writing
Cerebrovascular accident - answer--Abnormal condition of the brain
characterized by occlusion by and embolus, thrombus, cerebrovascular
hemorrhage, or vasospasm that results in ischemia of brain tissues
normally perfused by the damaged vessels
External Carotid Artery - answer--Smaller of the two terminal branches
of the common carotid artery
, Transient Ischemic Attack - answer--Episode of cerebrovascular
insufficiency, usually associated with partial occlusion of a cerebral
artery by an artherosclerotic plaque or an embolus
Diplopia - answer--Double vision
The ascending aorta originates from the _____ ventricle of the heart -
answer--left
Three main branches arise from the super convexity of the arch in its
normal configuration: the _____ trunk (innominate artery) is the first
branch; the _____ common carotid artery the second; and the left
_____ artery the third branch in approximately 70% of cases. - answer--
brachiocephalic; left; subclavian
The right CCA and the right subclavian artery are divided by the _____
artery, which gives rise to the right vertebral artery. - answer--
innominate
Each CCA ascends through the superior mediastinum anteriolaterally in
the neck and lies _____ to the jugular vein - answer--medial
