Segments of vertebral artery anterior projection. The vertebral artery may be divided into four parts: The first (preforaminal) part runs upward and backward between the anterior scalene and the longus colli muscles. In front of it are the internal jugular and vertebral veins, and is crossed by the inferior thyroid artery; the left vertebral is ...
The meningeal branches of vertebral artery (posterior meningeal branch) springs from the vertebral opposite the foramen magnum, ramifies between the bone and dura mater in the cerebellar fossa, and supplies the falx cerebelli. [1] [2] [3] It is frequently represented by one or two small branches.

The thyrocervical trunk is a branch of the subclavian artery. [1] It arises from the first portion of this vessel, between the origin of the subclavian artery and the inner border of the anterior scalene muscle. It is located distally to the vertebral artery and proximally to the costocervical trunk. It is short and wide artery. [2]
In human anatomy, the anterior spinal artery is the artery that supplies the anterior portion of the spinal cord. It arises from branches of the vertebral arteries and courses along the anterior aspect of the spinal cord. It is reinforced by several contributory arteries, especially the artery of Adamkiewicz.
