1. Locate the common carotid arteries. Branches of these arteries, the internal carotid arteries, travel through the neck and enter the skull. 2. Rotate the view to observe the network of arteries on the inferior side of the brain. The circle formed by anastomosing arteries at the base of the brain is the circle of Willis. 3. The vertebral arteries join to form the basilar artery, which sends off several small branches, called pontine arteries, to the pons. The anterior inferior cerebellar arteries, which branch from the basilar artery, and the posterior inferior cerebellar arteries, which branch from the vertebral arteries, supply the cerebellum. 4. Each internal carotid artery ends by forming several branches, the largest of which is the ophthalmic artery. Other branches travel inferior to the frontal lobes to supply the eyes. These are the anterior cerebral arteries. 5. The anterior portion of the circle of Willis is formed by the anterior cerebral arteries, which travel between the right and left frontal lobes. These paired arteries are joined at the anterior-most part of the circle of Willis by the anterior communicating artery. Locate the posterior communicating artery, which joins the posterior cerebral artery to the middle cerebral artery. 6. Rotate the view to observe the many collateral routes formed by the circle of Willis. a. What prominent landmark of the nervous system is enclosed by the circle of Willis? b. Which endocrine system landmark is enclosed by the circle of Willis? 7. Rotate the view to observe the superior surface of the brain. Branches from the circle of Willis supply the entire brain. Two pairs of large arteries, the anterior cerebral arteries and middle cerebral arteries, travel in the longitudinal fissure between the two hemispheres. From these two pairs of arteries, several sets of arteries travel laterally across the brain to join the middle cerebral arteries. Their branches supply the cerebrum.
