As the supplying component of the vertebrobasilar vascular system, the vertebral arteries supply blood to the upper spinal cord, brainstem, cerebellum, and posterior part of brain. (wikipedia.org)
The vertebral arteries usually arise from the posterosuperior aspect of the central subclavian arteries on each side of the body, then enter deep to the transverse process at the level of the 6th cervical vertebrae (C6), or occasionally (in 7.5% of cases) at the level of C7. (wikipedia.org)
Once they have passed through the transverse foramen of C1 (also known as the atlas), the vertebral arteries travel across the posterior arch of C1 and through the suboccipital triangle[citation needed] before entering the foramen magnum. (wikipedia.org)
There is commonly variations in the course and size of the vertebral arteries. (wikipedia.org)
After entering the cranial cavity through the foramen magnum, the vertebral arteries anastomose to form the basilar artery, but what we're interested in, is the vertebral arteries giving off the anterior spinal arteries. (anatomyzone.com)
You get this anastomosis coming off the vertebral arteries on either side, and this forms the anterior spinal artery, and this artery runs down the spinal cord its entire length and it runs anterior to the ventral median fissure, or the anterior median fissure. (anatomyzone.com)
Posteriorly, you've got two branches given off from the vertebral arteries, which form the 2 posterior spinal arteries. (anatomyzone.com)
