What are the two pairs of arteries that supply the brain?
It is the Internal carotid and the vertebral arteries. The vertebral arteries join to form the basilar artery which supply the midbrain and the cerebellum. The internal carotid branches divides to form the left and right internal carotids which supply the left and right side of the brain respectively. Hope this helps...feel free to ask if you don't understand. cheers Faith
What level of neck does the carotid arteries bifurcate?
cervical vertebral c5-6
What arteries supply the Circle of Willis?
Internal Carotid Arteries
What artery supplies blood to the head and neck?
The left and right common carotid arteries branch off the arch of the aorta. They travel up through the neck and at the level of C4 divide into external and internal carotid arteries. The internal travels more deeply and ultimately the blood it carries supplies areas of the brain, the external is more superficial and is largely responsible for supplying areas of the neck and face.
Arteries that supply the brain with blood?
subclavian artery , carotid artery , vertebrobasilar artery, vertebral artery and cerebral artery. in these, the vertebral arteries are divided into 3 namely anterior, posterior and middle cerebral arteries and these supplies to brain.
What two paired arteries enter the skull to supply the brain?
The anterior portions of the brain are supplied by the internal carotid arteries. The posterior portion of the brain is supplied by the vertebral arteries.
What is the main source of blood supply to the head face and neck?
comon carotid and vertebral arteries

What is the main blood vessel that goes to the brain?
Carotid arteries supply blood to brain . Blood is supplied to the entire brain by 2 pairs of arteries: the internal carotid arteries and vertebral arteries. The right and left vertebral arteries come together at the base of the brain to form a single basilar artery. The basilar artery joins the blood supply of the internal carotid arteries in a ring at the base of the brain. This ring of arteries is called the circle of Willis. The circle of Willis provides a safety mechanism...if one of the arteries gets blocked, the "circle" will still provide the brain with blood.
What level of neck does the carotid arteries bifurcate?
cervical vertebral c5-6
What arteries supply the Circle of Willis?
Internal Carotid Arteries
Provides the brain with oxygen and nutrients?
Oxygen and nutrients are provided to the brain via the carotid arteries and vertebral arteries.
What is the path of blood from the left ventricle to the brain?
Blood vessels that supply the brain are the two carotid arteries and the two vertebral arteries.- From the left ventricle, blood flows into the aorta and the common carotid arteries supply the frontal portion of the brain through the inner carotid arteries, which lead to blood vessels such as the three pairs of cerebral arteries (anterior, middle, posterior).- From the left ventricle, blood flows from the arch of the aorta into the paired subclavian arteries, and then to the vertebral arteries, which supply the rear and lower parts of the brain through the basilar artery (which ends at the posterior cerebral arteries).* Within the brain, cross-connections between these arteries (called the Circle of Willis) provide some redundancy should any of the arteries become severed or blocked.
What happens when to blood as it passes through brain?
vertebral arteries pass through foramen magnum and reach the inferior of the brain & unite to from the basilar artery. The vertebral artery supplies the posterior of the brain. Basilar atery branches into posterior cerebral artery & cerebellar arteries that supply the cerebellum & pons. Common carotid arteries divide & the internal carotid supplies structures internal to the skull
What organs have dual blood supply?
The liver and kidneys are examples of organs that have dual blood supply. They receive blood from both the hepatic portal system and the hepatic artery (liver) and from the renal artery and renal vein (kidneys). This dual blood supply is important for their functions in filtering and processing blood.
What blood vessel conducts blood to the head?
The major arteries involved include 1) the right and left carotid arteries, and 2) the right and left vertebral arteries.
Which blood vessel supply blood to cerebrum?
carotid arteries
