Arteries of the brain II

The tutorial explores the complex vascular anatomy of the brain, focusing on the arteries as seen from a basal view. It highlights the historical contributions of Thomas Willis, who identified the Circle of Willis. The video breaks down the brain's blood supply into anterior and posterior circulations, detailing the arteries involved in each. The anterior circulation arises from the internal carotid arteries, while the posterior circulation originates from the vertebral arteries. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the Circle of Willis, an anastomotic circle connecting the two circulations.

Discuss the importance of the internal carotid artery in cerebral circulation.

What is the function of the anterior choroidal artery?

Identify the branches of the basilar artery and their functions.

What are the potential consequences of an occlusion in the posterior cerebral artery?
