  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. Cerebral circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_circulation

    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 ...

  4. Circle of Willis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_Willis

    Considerable anatomic variation exists in the circle of Willis, with classic anatomy seen only in about one-third of people. [4] 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 ...

  5. 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.

  7. Anterior inferior cerebellar artery - Wikipedia

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

    Occlusion of AICA is considered rare, but generally results in a lateral pontine syndrome, also known as AICA syndrome.The symptoms include sudden onset of vertigo, vomiting, nystagmus, dysarthria, falling to the side of the lesion (due to damage to vestibular nuclei), and a variety of same-side features including hemiataxia, loss of all types of sensation of the face (due to damage to the ...

  8. Anterior cerebral artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_cerebral_artery

    The anterior cerebral artery develops from a primitive anterior division of the internal carotid artery that initially supplies the optic and olfactory regions. This anterior division, which appears at the twenty-eighth day of development, also forms the middle cerebral artery and the anterior choroidal artery.

  9. Central arteries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_arteries

    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 ...
