The major blood supply to the midbrain, occipital lobe, and thalamus primarily comes from the posterior cerebral artery (PCA). The PCA branches off from the basilar artery and provides oxygenated blood to these regions of the brain. Additionally, branches from the posterior communicating artery can also contribute to the vascular supply of these areas.
What else can I help you with?
Name the blood vessel that brings blood under high pressure to the kidney?
The renal artery brings oxygenated blood under high pressure to the kidney, where it branches into smaller vessels to deliver blood to the nephrons for filtration.
Does the thalamus control blood pressure?
The thalamus does not directly control blood pressure. It is primarily involved in relaying sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex. Blood pressure is mainly regulated by the brainstem and the autonomic nervous system.
What is an adrenal artery?
An adrenal artery is an artery in the abdomen which supplies blood to the adrenal glands.
What type of blood does the pulmanary artery carry?
The pulmanary artery carries oxygen poor blood.
What vessels carry blood to the arm?
The main vessels that carry blood to the arm are the brachial artery and the subclavian artery. The brachial artery runs along the upper arm, while the subclavian artery is located near the shoulder and branches into smaller arteries that supply blood to the arm.
How does a drop of blood get from the aorta to the left occipital lobe?
To travel from the aorta to the left, or right, occipital lobe, it would have to go through the aortic arch, common carotid artery, external carotid artery, then occipital artery.
How do you trace the pathway of a blood from the aorta to the left occipital lobe?
Aorta...brachiocephalic trunk...common carotid...external carotid...occipital artery...left occipital lobe
What are the pathway of a drop of blood from the aorta to the left occipital lobe of the brain and What are the structures through which it flow?
The drop of blood travels as follows: From the aortic arch to the left subclavian artery. Then through the left vertebral, passing though the transverse foramina of the cervical vertebrae (from C6-C1) At the C1 level the vertebral arteries travel across the posterior arch of the atlas before entering the foramen magnum into the skull. From here, it merges with with that vertebral artery on the right side to become the basilar artery. The blood then travels through a branch of the basilar known as the posterior cerebral artery. This artery's branches are divided into two sets, the ganglionic branches and, the cortical branches. The particular artery largely supplying the occipital lobe is known as the parietoöccipital or parieto-occipital artery, and is a cortical branch.
Trace the pathway of a drop of blood from the aorta to the left occipital lobe of the brain?
The answer starts with Aortic arch to left brachiocephalic trunk to left common carotid to left external carotid to left occipital artery.
What artery supplies the back of the head up to the crown?
The artery that supplies the back of the head up to the crown is primarily the occipital artery. It branches from the external carotid artery and provides blood to the posterior scalp and the muscles in that region. Additionally, the posterior auricular artery, also a branch of the external carotid, contributes to the blood supply of the area around the ear and parts of the scalp.
What major artery supplies the tissues external to the skull?
The superficial temporal artery supplies most of the head external to the skull. It is a branch of the external carotid artery and itself branches to send blood to the face, forehead and scalp. The other terminal branch of the external carotid, the maxillary artery supplies the deep tissues of the face. The scalp in the back of the head (the occipital area) is supplied by the occipital artery, which is also a branch of the external carotid (but not one of the terminal branches).
Which surgical procedure is done to provide the myocardium with a new source of blood supply when a coronary artery is occluded?
Coronary artery bypass graft is the procedure done to provide the myocardium with a new source of blood supply when a coronary artery is occluded.
Which surgical procedure is done toprovide the myocardium with a new source of blood supply when a coronary artery is occluded?
Coronary artery bypass graft is the procedure done to provide the myocardium with a new source of blood supply when a coronary artery is occluded.
What is the main source of arterial blood to the nose?
The main source of arterial blood to the nose is the maxillary artery, which is a branch of the external carotid artery. The maxillary artery gives rise to the sphenopalatine artery, which supplies the nasal cavity and contributes to the rich vascular network in the nasal mucosa. Additionally, the facial artery also provides blood supply to the anterior part of the nose.
The main source of blood supply to the nose is the?
internal maxillary artery
What is the artery that supplies blood to the pelvis and perineum?
The internal iliac artery and its branches are the main source of blood supply for the muscles and organs in the pelvis.
What is the main source of blood supply to the face head and neck?
External carotid artery
