1. • • The other organ with the highest oxygen demand, aside from your heart, is your brain. Cerebral perfusion pressure ensures enough blood flow to all areas of the brain. Without constant blood flow to your brain, you would pass out in a matter of seconds.

   Why is brain perfusion unique?

   • Brain perfusion is also unique in that the capillaries in the brain have a very low permeability due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which prevents transfer of most molecules into the brain tissue. The function of the BBB is to protect the brain from toxic substances and pathogens in the blood.

   Why is the brain a richly perfused organ?

   • SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION The brain is a richly perfused organ with a dense vascular supply, characterized by relatively high blood flow and low vascular resistance. Its high metabolic demand, roughly one-fifth of the total body metabolism, in an organ that represents <2% of total body weight, depends on autoregulation to maintain adequate blood flow.

   What does perfusion mean in Physiology?

   • Perfusion describes the microcirculation and passage of fluid through tissue and organs. Most commonly, perfusion refers to the passage of blood through the densely distributed network of capillaries throughout the tissue. The capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body and typically measure 5–10 μm in diameter.

   What is the main function of blood perfusion?

   • The main function of blood perfusion is to deliver nutrients, most importantly oxygen, to the tissue and remove waste products. Blood perfusion is highly regulated. If the metabolic demand is increased, the tissue requires more nutrients and oxygen, which can lead to an up-regulation of the blood perfusion.

   How does multiphoton imaging reduce cerebral perfusion pressure?

   • In one study that used multiphoton imaging, a reduction in cerebral perfusion pressure was produced by increasing ICP by 10–15 mmHg, resulting in vasodilation of penetrating arterioles by ∼12% (178).

   How does the brain work?

   • The brain needs a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood to function properly. This blood is pumped to the brain by the heart through two sets of blood vessels: the vertebral arteries and the carotid arteries. The external carotid arteries run up the sides of the neck and are one location where the pulse can be felt.
