| Description |
The magnitude of the cerebral blood flow (CBF) is dependent on a number of factors, including the size of the lumen of the vessels composing the cerebral arterial tree, perfusion pressure, cerebral metabolism, and blood viscosity. Mean CBF remains remarkably constant at about 5052 ml/100 g brain tissue/min over the wide range of mean arterial blood pressure of 60170mmHg in the normal adult. For the entire brain of the average adult, this is about 750 ml/min, or 15% of the total resting cardiac output. A system of autoregulation maintains constant CBF despite substantial variations in blood pressure. |
