  2. Pontine arteries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontine_arteries

    The pontine arteries are a number of small arteries which come off at right angles from either side of the basilar artery and supply the pons and adjacent parts of the brain. The pontine arteries include the paramedian arteries, the short circumferential, and the long circumferential arteries. [1] [a]

  3. Anterior inferior cerebellar artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_inferior...

    It arises from the basilar artery on each side at the level of the junction between the medulla oblongata and the pons in the brainstem. It has a variable course, passing backward to be distributed to the anterior part of the undersurface of the cerebellum, anastomosing with both the posterior inferior cerebellar (PICA) branch of the vertebral ...

  4. Cerebral arteries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_arteries

    Angiogram of the arterial supply. The cerebral arteries describe three main pairs of arteries and their branches, which perfuse the cerebrum of the brain. The three main arteries are the: Anterior cerebral artery (ACA), which supplies blood to the medial portion of the brain, including the superior parts of the frontal and anterior parietal ...

  5. Middle cerebellar peduncle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_cerebellar_peduncle

    The middle cerebellar peduncle is the largest of the three cerebellar peduncles. It connects the pons and cerebellum.It consists almost entirely of fibers passing from the pons to the cerebellum (fibrocerebellar fibers); the fibers arise from the pontine nuclei and decussate within the pons before entering the peduncle [1] to end in the contralateral cerebellar hemisphere.

  7. Basilar part of pons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilar_part_of_pons

    The basilar part of the pons makes up two thirds of the pons. [1] It has a ridged appearance with a shallow groove at the midline. This groove is the basilar sulcus and is covered by the basilar artery. [2] The basilar artery feeds into the circle of Willis providing blood supply to the brainstem and cerebellum. [3]

  8. Cerebral circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_circulation

    Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is the blood supply to the brain in a given period of time. [8] In an adult, CBF is typically 750 millilitres per minute or 15.8 ± 5.7% of the cardiac output. [9] This equates to an average perfusion of 50 to 54 millilitres of blood per 100 grams of brain tissue per minute. [10] [11] [12]

  9. Medial pontine syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_pontine_syndrome

    Human brainstem blood supply description. Basilar artery is #7, and pons is visible below it. Medial pontine syndrome results from occlusion of paramedian branches of the basilar artery. [citation needed]
