Blood supply to the brain

The video tutorial by Dr. Morton, the Noted Anatomist, provides an in-depth explanation of the brain's blood supply, focusing on the internal carotid and vertebrobasilar arteries. It covers the anatomy and function of these arteries, their branches, and the areas of the brain they supply.
