Basilar Artery
The Basilar Artery is a major blood vessel located at the base of the brain. It is formed by the union of the two vertebral arteries, which run along the spine. This artery supplies blood to important areas of the brain, including the brainstem, cerebellum, and parts of the cerebrum.
The Basilar Artery plays a crucial role in maintaining proper brain function by delivering oxygen-rich blood. It branches into several smaller arteries, such as the posterior cerebral arteries, which further supply blood to various brain regions. Proper blood flow through the Basilar Artery is essential for overall neurological health.
