  2. Cerebral arteries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_arteries

    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 ...

  3. Head and neck anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_and_neck_anatomy

    The lymphatic system drains the head and neck of excess interstitial fluid via lymph vessels or capillaries, equally into the right lymphatic duct and the thoracic duct. Lymph nodes line the cervical spine and neck regions as well as along the face and jaw. The tonsils also are lymphatic tissue and help mediate the ingestion of pathogens.

  4. Blood vessel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_vessel

    Distributing arteries; Arterioles; Capillaries (smallest type of blood vessels) Venules; Veins. Large collecting vessels, such as the subclavian vein, the jugular vein, the renal vein and the iliac vein. Venae cavae (the two largest veins, carry blood into the heart). Sinusoids. Extremely small vessels located within bone marrow, the spleen and ...

  5. Cerebral circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_circulation

    Cerebral circulation is the movement of blood through a network of cerebral arteries and veins supplying the brain. The rate of cerebral blood flow in an adult human is typically 750 milliliters per minute, or about 15% of cardiac output. Arteries deliver oxygenated blood, glucose and other nutrients to the brain.

  6. Circulatory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulatory_system

    In humans, the only significant example is the hepatic portal vein which combines from capillaries around the gastrointestinal tract where the blood absorbs the various products of digestion; rather than leading directly back to the heart, the hepatic portal vein branches into a second capillary system in the liver.

  7. Cerebral angiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_angiography

    The rate of injection is 3 to 5 ml/sec, for a total of 8ml. The fluoroscope will be catching images at a rate of 2 to 4 frames per second. [8] Posterior cerebral artery (PCA) can be seen in AP view. [8] The left vertebral artery is easier to cannulate than the right vertebral because of the straightforward anatomy of the left vertebral artery. [16]

  8. Superior cerebellar artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_cerebellar_artery

    The arteries of the base of the brain. Superior cerebellar artery labeled near center. The temporal pole of the cerebrum and a portion of the cerebellar hemisphere have been removed on the right side (left half of diagram). Inferior aspect (viewed from below). The superior cerebellar artery supplies deep parts and superior parts of the cerebellum.

  9. Cerebral veins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_veins

    3D model of cerebral veins. In human anatomy, the cerebral veins are blood vessels in the cerebral circulation which drain blood from the cerebrum of the human brain.They are divisible into external (superficial cerebral veins) and internal (internal cerebral veins) groups according to the outer or inner parts of the hemispheres they drain into.
