27
At wrist level feeds top of hand from wrist area; arch structure that lye deep in tissue
DEEP Palmar ARCH
28
At wrist level (Volmar Arch) Feeds palm side of hand from wrist

1. VERTEBRAL ARTERY LFT/RT 2. INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY LFT/RT 3. BASILAR ARTERY 4. POSTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY LFT/RT 5. POSTERIOR COMMUNICATING ARTERY LFT/RT 6. MIDDLE CEREBRAL ARTERY LFT/RT 7. ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY LFT/RT 8. OPHTHALMIC ARTERY LFT/RT 9. ANTERIOR COMMUNICATING ARTERY
33
union or joining together of blood vessels; can be surgically reattached
Anastamosis
34
branch from subclavian superiorly passes thru foramen magnum. Inside cranium they join to make basilar artery.

35
passes through carotid canal of skull from carotid sinus; largest size artery to bring blood to brain; feeds insides skull; severed at autopsy
INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY LFT/RT

BASILAR ARTERY
37
feeds posterior portion of cerebral brain tissue
POSTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY LFT/RT
38
does not feed any specific part of brain tissue; it communicates or joins the internal carotid with posterior cerebral; rt joins rt lft joins lft
POSTERIOR COMMUNICATING ARTERY LFT/RT
39
continuation of internal carotid; feeds middle portion of cerebral hemisphere
MIDDLE CEREBRAL ARTERY LFT/RT
40
feeds anterior portion of cerebral brain tissue
ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY LFT/RT
41
feeds left eye
OPHTHALMIC ARTERY LFT/RT
42
single/unpaired; small interconnecting arteries; communicate or join lft/rt anterior cerebral arteries; common branch arising from both anterior arteries; does not feed any specific part of the brain tissue
ANTERIOR COMMUNICATING ARTERY
