    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_circulation

    Cerebral circulation is the movement of blood through a network of cerebral arteries and veins supplying the brain.The rate of cerebral blood flow in an adult human is typically 750 milliliters per minute, or about 15% of cardiac output.

  3. Cerebral arteries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_arteries

    The cerebral arteries describe three main pairs of arteries and their branches, which perfuse the cerebrum of the brain. The three main arteries are the: Anterior cerebral artery (ACA), which supplies blood to the medial portion of the brain, including the superior parts of the frontal and anterior parietal lobes [1]

  4. Cerebral veins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_veins

    3D model of cerebral veins. In human anatomy, the cerebral veins are blood vessels in the cerebral circulation which drain blood from the cerebrum of the human brain.They are divisible into external (superficial cerebral veins) and internal (internal cerebral veins) groups according to the outer or inner parts of the hemispheres they drain into.

  5. Dural venous sinuses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dural_venous_sinuses

    The walls of the dural venous sinuses are composed of dura mater lined with endothelium, a specialized layer of flattened cells found in blood and lymph vessels.They differ from other blood vessels in that they lack a full set of vessel layers (e.g. tunica media) characteristic of arteries and veins.

  6. Circle of Willis - Wikipedia

    The right and left posterior cerebral arteries arise from the basilar artery, which is formed by the left and right vertebral arteries. The vertebral arteries arise from the subclavian arteries. The anterior communicating artery connects the two anterior cerebral arteries and could be said to arise from either the left or right side.

    The leptomeningeal collateral circulation (also known as leptomeningeal anastomoses or pial collaterals) is a network of small blood vessels in the brain that connects branches of the middle, anterior and posterior cerebral arteries (MCA, ACA, and PCA), [1] with variation in its precise anatomy between individuals.
