Posterior communicating artery Posterior communicating artery. In human anatomy, the left and right posterior communicating arteries are arteries at the base of the brain that form part of the circle of Willis. Each posterior communicating artery connects the three cerebral arteries of the same side. Anteriorly, it connects to the internal carotid artery (ICA) prior to the terminal bifurcation of the ICA into the anterior cerebral artery and middle cerebral artery.

Anterior communicating artery In human anatomy, the anterior communicating artery is a blood vessel of the brain that connects the left and right anterior cerebral arteries.The anterior communicating artery connects the two anterior cerebral arteries across the commencement of the longitudinal fissure.Sometimes this vessel is wanting, the two arteries joining together to form a single trunk, which afterward divides; or it may be wholly, or partially, divided into two.he arteries of the base of the brain. Anterior communicating artery at top. The temporal pole of the cerebrum and a portion of the cerebellar hemisphere have been removed on the right side. Inferior aspect (viewed from below).

Middle meningeal artery Middle meningeal artery. Dr Henry Knipe ◉ et al. The middle meningeal artery branches off the first part of the maxillary artery. It passes vertically through the roots of the auriculotemporal nerve and enters the middle cranial fossa via the foramen spinosum. Here it gives off two branches - superior tympanic branch and ganglionic branch - before dividing into anterior and posterior divisions:

Vertebrobasilar disease Vertebrobasilar disease describes a broad spectrum of vascular abnormalities in the arterial supply to the brain stem. The vertebrobasilar circulation (VC, also called the posterior circulation) consists of the arterial supply to the brain stem, cerebellum , and occipital cortex. The vertebral arteries arise from the subclavian arteries in the neck.

Posterior communicating artery Posterior communicating artery. In the brain, oxygenated blood travels through an extensive and central cerebral arterial circle. This network is called the circle of Willis. The posterior communicating artery makes up a large part of the circle's lower half.he posterior communicating artery develops late during fetal gestation (development that occurs while a baby is still in the womb) as embryonic vessels begin to fuse together. However, this does not lead to any frequently occurring congenital (birth) defects.

Middle cerebral artery It also supplies blood to the anterior temporal lobes and the insular cortices. The left and right MCAs rise from trifurcations of the internal carotid arteries and thus are connected to the anterior cerebral arteries and the posterior communicating arteries, which connect to the posterior cerebral arteries.The MCAs are not considered a part of the Circle of Willis.t also supplies blood to the anterior temporal lobes and the insular cortices. The left and right MCAs rise from trifurcations of the internal carotid arteries and thus are connected to the anterior cerebral arteries and the posterior communicating arteries, which connect to the posterior cerebral arteries.

Midbrain & Pons Gross Anatomy Blood Supply of the Midbrain and Pons. The basilar component of the vertebrobasilar system spans the length of the pons. It commences at the inferior pontine sulcus, where the left and right vertebral arteries unite, and bifurcates into the left and right posterior cerebral arteries at the superior pontine sulcus.

What Is the Posterior Descending Artery? The posterior descending artery, which is also known as the posterior inter-ventricular artery, is a branch of one of the heart's main arteries. In most people, the posterior descending artery branches away from the right coronary artery, which is called right coronary artery dominance. In left coronary artery dominance, the posterior descending artery branches away from the left circumflex artery.

The Arterial Supply to the Central Nervous System There are two paired arteries which are responsible for the blood supply to the brain; the vertebral arteries, and the internal carotid arteries. These arteries arise in the neck, and ascend to the cranium. Within the cranial vault, the terminal branches of these arteries form an anastomotic circle, called the Circle of Willis. From this circle, branches arise which supply the majority of the cerebrum. Other parts of the CNS, such as the pons and spinal cord, are supplied by smaller branches from the vertebral arteries.

- The vertebral and basilar arteries supply blood to several structures in the brain including: the occipital cortex, the brainstem consisting of the midbrain, pons and medulla, the cerebellum and the thalamus. Atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries is the primary cause of vertebrobasilar disease. The narrowing of the vertebral or basilar arteries caused by atherosclerosis creates vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI), or an insufficient delivery of blood flow to the posterior structures of the brain.

Vertebral artery The vertebral arteries are major arteries of the neck. They branch from the subclavian arteries and merge to form the single midline basilar artery in a complex called the vertebrobasilar system, which supplies blood to the posterior part of the circle of Willis and thus significant portions of the brain.he second part runs upward through the foramina in the transverse processes of the C6 to C2 vertebrae, vertebræ and is surrounded by branches from the inferior cervical sympathetic ganglion and by a plexus of veins which unite to form the vertebral vein at the lower part of the. neck

Anterior cerebral artery The anterior cerebral artery develops from a primitive anterior division of the internal carotid artery that initially supplies the optic and olfactory regions. This anterior division, which appears at the twenty-eighth day of development, also forms the middle cerebral artery and the anterior choroidal artery.

Overview Middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke describes the sudden onset of focal neurologic deficit resulting from brain infarction or ischemia in the territory supplied by the MCA. The MCA is by far the largest cerebral artery and is the vessel most commonly affected by cerebrovascular accident. The MCA supplies most of the outer convex brain surface, nearly all the basal ganglia, and the posterior and anterior internal capsules.

vertebral artery The first branch of the subclavian artery; it runs up the back of the neck via foramina in the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae and enters the cranial cavity through the foramen magnum. The right and left vertebral arteries merge along the ventral surface of the hindbrain to become the basilar artery. Branches of the vertebral artery include the anterior and posterior spinal arteries and the posterior inferior cerebellar artery. The vertebral arteries carry about 20% of the brain's blood supply, feeding the brainstem, cerebellum, and most of the posterior cerebral hemispheres.

Overview Posteriorly, the basilar artery, formed by the left and right vertebral arteries, branches into a left and right posterior cerebral artery (PCA), forming the posterior circulation. The PCAs complete the circle of Willis by joining the internal carotid system anteriorly via the posterior communicating (PCOM) arteries. (See the images below.) Schematic representation of the circle of Willis, arteries of the brain, and brainstem.
