  2. Circle of Willis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_Willis

    In one common variation the proximal part of the posterior cerebral artery is narrow and its ipsilateral posterior communicating artery is large, so the internal carotid artery supplies the posterior cerebrum; this is known as a fetal posterior communicating cerebral artery. In another variation the anterior communicating artery is a large ...

  3. Cerebral arteries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_arteries

    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 lobes [1]

  4. 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.

  5. Cerebral circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_circulation

    The maturation of blood vessels in the brain is a critical process that occurs postnatally. [6] It involves the acquisition of key barrier and contractile properties essential for brain function. During the early postnatal phase, endothelial cells (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) undergo significant molecular and functional changes.

Arrows with heads, and different color to facilitate the location of the items. Colour text to improve the location of arteries and veins.

  7. 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).

  8. Posterior communicating artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_communicating_artery

    The brain is supplied with blood by the internal carotid arteries and also by the posterior cerebral arteries; the posterior communicating arteries connects the two systems. This provides redundancies or collaterals in the cerebral circulation so that, if one system is blocked or narrowed, the other can take over.

  9. Anterior cerebral artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_cerebral_artery

    Arteries of the brain. Anterior cerebral artery labeled at the left (twice) The anterior cerebral artery is divided into 5 segments. Its smaller branches: the callosal (supracallosal) arteries are considered to be the A4 and A5 segments. [1] [2] A1 originates from the internal carotid artery and extends to the anterior communicating artery (AComm).
