The pulse commonly taken is from the radial artery at the wrist.

Sometimes the pulse cannot be taken at the wrist and is taken at the elbow (brachial artery), at the neck against the carotid artery (carotid pulse), behind the knee (popliteal artery), or in the foot dorsalis pedis or posterior tibial arteries.

In the context of heart or artery matters, atheromata are commonly referred to as atheromatous plaques.

EEG measurements typically involve a hairnet with an array of sensors, like the one that you can see here in the photo.

Studies have shown that chemo and radiation therapies may damage brain white matter and disrupt brain activity.

Arterial ultrasound, especially of the carotid arteries, with measurement of the thickness of the artery wall, offers a way to partially track the disease progression.

For example, fractures of the petrous temporal bone can selectively damage the nerve, as can aneurysms of the intracavernous carotid artery.

Blood brain barrier The blood brain barrier is a part of the capillary system that prevents the entry of T cells into the central nervous system.

Cerebral achromatopsia (the inability to discriminate between different hues) is caused by damage to the V8 area of the visual association cortex.

In cardiovascular physiology, stroke volume (SV) is the volume of blood pumped from the left ventricle of the heart per beat.

I asked this question to a brain death expert, Stephanie Mann, who was foolish enough to return my emails.

Cerebral edema (swelling of the brain) occurs due to leakage of large molecules like albumins from blood vessels through the damaged blood brain barrier.

A wetware computer is an organic computer (also known as an artificial organic brain or a neurocomputer) built from living neurons.

This is the basis of the famous Cherry red spot seen on examination of the retina on funduscopy of a central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO).

A Hayes maneuver (pressure applied below the umbilicus in cephalad and dorsal direction) elevates the root of the SMA, also slightly easing the constriction.

The third stage of syphilis also manifests as aneurysm of the aorta, which is due to loss of the vasa vasorum in the tunica adventitia.
