Blood supply to the brain is derived from branches of the carotid arteries. The anterior and middle portions are supplied predominantly by Anterior cerebral artery and Middle cerebral artery. Both are branches of the Internal carotid artery.

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.

How does the heart receive it's blood supply?

Located just above the aortic valves, are the right and left cornary arteries. The right coronary artery mainly supply the right ventricle and the sinoatrial node. The left main artery is divided into the left anterior descending artery and the left circumflex artery. The left anterior descending artery mainly supplies the anterior and septal portion of the heart, namely the left ventricle. The left circumflex artery supplies the lateral walls of the left ventricle.


What is the pathway from the heart to the right foot?

Blood goes into the Aorta from the heart. Then enters into Common iliac arteries, external iliac arteries, femoral artery, popliteal artery, and then it goes into the anterior tibial and posterior tibial arteries which supply the foot.


What two useful substance the coronary arteries in the heart will supply?

The coronary arteries supply oxygenated and nutrient filled blood to the heart muscle. There are two main coronary arteries: right coronary artery and left coronary artery. Other arteries diverge from these two main arteries and extend to the bottom portion of the heart.


How does oxygen get to your brain?

Simplified answer: Oxygenated blood reaches the brain via the Internal Cerebral Artery and the Vertebral Arteries. These vessels have many branches (Posterior, Middle, and Anterior Cerebral Arteries) going to different parts of the brain. Once oxygen reaches the capillary beds of these vessels it diffuses through the capillary walls to supply brain tissue.


What supplies blood to the gastrocnemius?

The gastrocnemius muscle receives its blood supply primarily from the popliteal artery, which branches into the posterior tibial and anterior tibial arteries. Specifically, the sural arteries, which arise from the popliteal artery, provide the main vascular supply to the gastrocnemius. Additionally, the muscle may receive some blood from the medial and lateral femoral circumflex arteries.
