AB  - OBJECTIVESAfter  studying  this  chapter,  you  should  be  able  to:Define  the  special  features  of  the  circulation  in  the  brain.  Describe  how  cerebrospinal  fluid  (CSF)  is  formed  and  reabsorbed,  and  its  role  in  protecting  the  brain  from  injury.  Understand  how  the  blood-brain  barrier  impedes  the  entry  of  specific  substances  into  the  brain.  Explain  how  cerebral  blood  flow  can  be  measured,  how  it  is  regulated  by  intracranial  pressure,  and  how  it  protects  the  supply  of  oxygen  to  the  brain.Understand  the  anatomy  of  the  coronary  circulation  of  the  heart  and  how  the  cardiac  cycle  regulates  flow  in  the  coronary  blood  vessels.  Delineate  how  the  oxygen  needs  of  the  contracting  myocardium  are  met  by  the  coronary  arteries,  and  the  consequences  of  their  occlusion.Describe  how  the  cutaneous  circulation  participates  in  heat  loss  from  the  body  and  how  this  function  is  regulated.  List  the  vascular  reactions  of  the  skin  and  the  reflexes  that  mediate  them.Describe  the  uterine  circulation  and  how  it  changes  during  the  course  of  pregnancy  and  parturition.  Understand  how  the  fetus  is  supplied  with  oxygen  and  nutrients  in  utero,  and  the  circulatory  events  required  for  a  transition  to  independent  life  after  birth.
