A vein that connects the superficial middle cerebral vein to the superior sagittal sinus.

A vein that connects the superficial middle cerebral vein to the transverse sinus.

Veins that drain blood from the inferior aspect of each cerebral hemisphere.

A large vein formed by the union of the two internal cerebral veins under the corpus callosum.

Veins that receive blood from the medullary veins and drain into the dural venous sinuses.

A major artery that supplies blood to the same side part of the brain hemispheres.

The internal carotid artery supplies blood to the eye and its related structures in addition to the brain hemispheres.

The part of the internal carotid artery that lies within the cavernous sinus.

The level at which the internal carotid artery branches off from the common carotid artery, located at the upper level of the thyroid cartilage, around the level of the 4th cervical vertebra (C4).

A structure located at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery that contains baroreceptors, which are sensitive to changes in blood pressure.

The circular network of arteries at the base of the brain formed by the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.

The part of the internal carotid artery that divides into its terminal branches when it reaches the anterior perforated substance.

An artery that branches off from the internal carotid artery and supplies blood to the eye.

Arteries that arise from the subclavian arteries and eventually merge to form the basilar artery.

The part of the internal carotid artery that passes near the cavernous sinus.

An abnormal swelling or bulge in an artery that can rupture and cause bleeding.

A circular network of arteries at the base of the brain that ensures equal blood pressure distribution to different parts of the brain.

A condition caused by interruption of blood flow to the brain or brainstem, leading to brain cell damage.

The main artery that extends along the ventral midline of the pons.
