Blood Flow to Brain
two sources
#1 via Internal Carotid Arteries (ICAs)
extends up into the skull via the carotid canal
projects up to the cavernous sinus
gives rise to opthalmic artery (OA)
located at the origin of the optic nerve at the base of the brain
gives rise to anterior choroidal artery (AChrA) and
posterior communicating artery (PCommA)
bifurcates to form anterior cerbral artery (ACA) and
middle cerebral artery (MCA)
anterior cerebral arteries are connected by
anterior communicating artery (ACommA)
Blood Flow to Brain
#2 via Vertebral Arteries (VAs)
branch off subclavian arteries
run through the transverse processes of cervical vertebrae to base of skull
give rise to anterior (ASpA) and posterior (PSpA) spinal arteries
for cervical spinal cord
pass through foramen magnum
run along anterior surface of brain stem
give off posterior inferior cerebellar arteries (PICAs)
unite to form basilar artery (BA)
give rise to anterior inferior cerebellar arteries (AICAs) and
superior cerebellar arteries (SCAs)
