Flashcards in Section 2 Blood Supply of the Brain Deck (12):
1
Middle Cerebral Artery supplies
Lateral surface of the brain
deep structures of the basal forebrain
2
Anterior cerebral artery supplies
most of the medial wall of the cerebral hemisphere
3
posterior cerebral artery supplies
medial wall of the occipital lobe
inferior part of the temporal lobe
4
The vertebral arteries converge near the base of the pons to form the
Basilar Artery (Unpaired)
5
at the level of the midbrain, the Basilar Artery split into the right and left:
Superior cerebellar arteries
Posterior cerebral arteries
6
The Posterior Cerebral Arteries send branches called __________ that connect them to the:
Posterior Communicationg Arteries
Right and Left Internal carotid arteries
7
The internal Carotid Arteries branch to form the
Middle Cerebral arteries
Anterior Cerebral Arteries
8
The Anterior Cerebral Arteries of each side are connected by the
Anterior communicating Artery
9
