The arteries are usually divided into different segments from 1–4 or 5 to denote how far the level of the branch with the lower numbers denoting vessels closer to the source artery. Even though the arteries branching off these vessels retain some aspect of constancy in terms of size and position, a great amount of variety in topography ...
Intracranial pressure should not be above 15 mm Hg (ICP of 20 mm Hg is considered as intracranial hypertension). [14] Cerebral blood vessels are able to change the flow of blood through them by altering their diameters in a process called cerebral autoregulation ; they constrict when systemic blood pressure is raised and dilate when it is ...

In human anatomy, the internal and external carotid arise from the common carotid artery, where it bifurcates at cervical vertebrae C3 or C4. The internal carotid artery supplies the brain , including the eyes, [ 2 ] while the external carotid nourishes other portions of the head, such as the face , scalp , skull , and meninges .
The cranial cavity, also known as intracranial space, is the space within the skull that accommodates the brain. The skull is also known as the cranium . [ 1 ] The cranial cavity is formed by eight cranial bones known as the neurocranium that in humans includes the skull cap and forms the protective case around the brain.
The head rests on the top part of the vertebral column, with the skull joining at C1 (the first cervical vertebra known as the atlas).The skeletal section of the head and neck forms the top part of the axial skeleton and is made up of the skull, hyoid bone, auditory ossicles, and cervical spine.
The anterolateral central arteries or lenticulostriate arteries [3] (also anterolateral perforating arteries, anterolateral ganglionic arteries, striate arteries, or lateral striate arteries; latin aa. centrales anterolaterales, [4] or aa. lenticulostriatae [4]) are a group of small arteries mostly arising from (the initial M1 part of) the middle cerebral artery that enter the brain through ...
