Blood supply of brain
The brain's blood supply is critical for its function, delivered via two main arteries: the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries. These arteries merge at the base of the brain to form the circle of Willis, ensuring redundancy and consistent blood flow. Cerebral arteries branch off to supply specific regions of the brain, delivering oxygen and nutrients essential for neuronal activity. Disruptions to this supply, such as strokes or ischemia, can lead to neurological deficits or even death. Thus, the intricate network of blood vessels ensures the brain receives the nourishment it needs to function optimally.
