🗑
anterior cerebral artery   gives direct branches to optic chiasm; supplies the medial surface of the frontal and parietal lobes and corpus callosum: supplies leg and foot area of the motor and sensory cortices  
🗑
anterior communicating artery   connects two anterior cerebral arteries  
🗑
middle cerebral artery   supplies lateral convexity of the hemisphere and underlying insula; supplies trunk, arm, and face area of the motor and sensory cortices; supplies Broca’s and Wernicke’s  
🗑
vertebral arteries   is a branch of the subclavian artery  
🗑
vertebral arteries   joins its opposite partner to form the basilar  
🗑
posterior inferior cerebellar artery   gives rise to posterior spinal artery; supplies the dorsolateral zone of the medulla; supplies the inferior surface of the cerebellum and the choriod plexus of the 4th ventricle; supplies CN IX and X  
🗑
basilar artery   formed by two vertebral arteries  
🗑
pontine arteries   supply the corticospinal tracts and CNVI  
🗑
labrynthine artery   perfuses the cochlea and the vestibular apparatus  
🗑
anterior inferior cerebellar artery   supplies the inferior surface of the cerebellum; supplies the facial nucleus,spinal trigeminal nucleas and tract, vestibular nuclei, cochlear nuclei, spinothalamic tract  
🗑
superior cerebellar artery   supplies the superior surface of the cerebellum and the cerebellar nuclei; supplies the rostal and lateral pons  
🗑
posterior cerebral artery   formed by bifurcation of the basilar artery; provides major blood supply to midbrain; supplies occipital lobe, visual cortex and inferior surface of the temporal lobe  
🗑
arterial circle of willis   formed by the anterior communicating, anterior cerebral, and internal carotid, posterior communicating, and posterior cerebral arteries  
🗑
arterial circle of willis   gives off penetrating arteries to supply the ventral diencephalons and the midbrain  
🗑
meningial arteries   supply the intracranial dura  
🗑
meningial arteries   usually arise from the branches of the external carotid artery  
🗑
anterior meningial arteries   arise from the anterior and posterior ethmoidal arteries; supply the dura of the anterior cranial fossa  
🗑
middle meningial arthery   branch of the maxillary artery; enters cranium via foramen spinosum; supplies most of the dura; laceration results in epidural hematoma  
🗑
posterior meningeal arteries   are branches of ascending pharyngeal, vertebral, and occipital arteries; supply the dura of the posterior cranial fossa  
🗑
superficial cerebral viens   devoid of valves and lie along surface sulci  
🗑
superficial cerebral viens   arise form the cortex and subcortical medullary substance and terminate in the dural sinuses  
🗑
superficial cerebral viens   lie superficial to arteries and are considered meningeal veins  
🗑
superior cerebral veins   drain into the superior sagittal sinus; laceration results in subdural hematoma  
🗑
middle cerebral vein   overlies lateral sulcus and drains into cavernous sinus; communicates with the transverse sinus  
🗑
inferior cerebral veins   drain the inferior lateral and basal surface of the hemisphere  
🗑
medial cerebral veins   drain medial surface of hemisphere, including the corpus callosum, into the inferior sagittal sinus  
🗑
basal vein   drains the orbital surface of the frontal love, insula, and sorpus stiratum; encircles the brainstem and drains into the great vein of galen  
🗑
internal cerebral veins   paired parallel vessles situated lateral to the midline and on the roof of the 3rd ventricle  
🗑
internal cerebral veins   join the great vein of galen  
🗑
great cerebral vein of galen   located below the splenium of the corpus callosum in transverse cerebral fissure  
🗑
great cerebral vein of galen   receives two internal cerebral veins, two basal veins, two occipital veins and the posterior callosal vein  
🗑
great cerebral vein of galen   joins the inferior sagittal sinus and the straight sinus  
🗑
venous dural sinuses   are endothelial lined valveless channels whose walls are formed by two layers of dura matter  
🗑
venous dural sinuses   collect blood from the superficial and deep cerebral veins and the calvarium and represent the major drainage pathway of the cranial cavity  
🗑
venous dural sinuses   receive arachnoid granulations and absorb CSF  
🗑
superior sagittal sinus   extends from the foramen cecum to the internal occipital protuberance and usually terminates in the right transverse sinus; communicates with the nasal emissary veins; receives superficial cerebral veins, diploic veins, and parietal emissary veins  
🗑
inferior sagittal sinus   courses in the inferior free edge of the falx cerebri; joins the great cerebral vein to form the straight sinus  
🗑
straight sinus   is formed by the great cerebral vein and the inferior sagittal sinus; terminates at the internal occipital protuberance and usually drains into the left transverse sinus; drains the superior surface of the cerebellum  
🗑
left and right transverse sinuses   originate at the confluence of the sinuses and coutse anterolaterally along the edge of the entorium cerebelli to become the sigmoid sinus; receives venous blood from the termporal and occipital lobes  
🗑
confluence of the sinuses   lies at the internal occipital protuberance; is formed by the unsion of the superior sagittal, straight, and transverse sinuses  
🗑
sigmoid sinus   is a continuation of the transverse sinus; passes inferiorly and medially into the jugular foramen  
🗑
