Cerebral Blood Flow (Introduction)

The human brain may only weigh 3 pounds, but it consumes a massive amount of energy, demanding 20% of the body's oxygen supply and 12-15% of cardiac output. With an exceptionally high metabolic rate, it requires continuous oxygen and glucose delivery to sustain neural activity, neurotransmission, and cellular function. This delicate balance is maintained through precise regulatory mechanisms, ensuring optimal brain performance.
