which arteries supply 1-5?

A

1: anterior cerebral A
2: middle cerebral A
3: posteror cerebral A
4: anterior choroidal A
5: lenticulostriate (branch of MCA)

25
Q

describe the pathway of the posterior circualation of the brain?

A

vertebral:

  • has anterior spinal arteries and posterior spinal arteries (x2) going inferiorly
  • has PICA branching off to dorsal medulla of brainstem

turns into the basilar artery:
- has anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) and superior cerebellar artery arching off

redivides at the superior cerebellar arteries and continues to **posterior cerebral arteries

  • **supplies the inferior and medial aspects of temporal and occipital cortex
  • thalamus
  • midbrain
  • anastamoses with MCA
