Blood supply to the brain   Internal carotid arteries: o Starts at the carotid sinus, at the bifurcation of common carotid at the level of the upper border of the thyroid cartilage, at the level of the fourth cervical vertebra. o It ascends just behind and lateral to the hypopharynx where it can be palpated. o Passes up the neck without any branches, to the base of the skull where it enters the carotid canal of the petrous part of the temporal bone. o It then runs through the cavernous sinus in an S-shaped curve (the carotid siphon), then it pierces the dura (beginning in subarachnoid course) and exits just medial to the anterior clinoid process. o Ascends to bifurcate into anterior cerebral artery and the larger middle cerebral artery. Vertebral arteries: o Arises from the proximal subclavian artery and ascends through the transverse foramina of the first cervical vertebra. o It then passes posteriorly around the articular process of the atlas to enter the skull through the foramen magnum. o The two vertebral arteries join each other at the level of the pontomedullary junction ton form the basilar artery. o The vertebral artery gives rise to anterior and posterior spinal arteries, the posterior inferior cerebellar artery and the branches to the medulla.  Middle cerebral artery. Cerebral venous sinuses
