The image shows a representation of the basal view of the brain with the arteries in situ. The frontal lobe is at the top of the image, while the cerebellum is at the bottom of the image. The posterior inferior cerebellar artery is a branch of the vertebral artery on each side, which supplies the inferior aspect of the cerebellar lobes. However, the blue arrow indicates the basilar artery, the main blood vessel which contributes to the posterior circulation of the brain.

Posterior inferior cerebellar artery
QuestionChoice
The image shows a representation of the basal view of the brain with the arteries in situ. The frontal lobe is at the top of the image, while the cerebellum is at the bottom of the image. The superior cerebellar artery, a vessel supplying the superior aspect of the cerebellar lobes, is a branch of the artery indicated by the blue arrow, which is the basilar artery. The basilar artery is the main blood vessel which contributes to the posterior circulation of the brain.

d
Superior cerebellar artery
QuestionChoice
The image shows a representation of the basal view of the brain with the arteries in situ. The frontal lobe is at the top of the image, while the cerebellum is at the bottom of the image. The blue arrow indicates the basilar artery, the main blood vessel, which contributes to the posterior circulation of the brain. It arises from the union of the right and left vertebral arteries located inferior to it. It bifurcates into the paired posterior cerebral arteries.

a
Basilar artery
QuestionChoice
The image shows a representation of the basal view of the brain with the arteries in situ. The frontal lobe is at the top of the image, while the cerebellum is at the bottom of the image. The vertebral arteries are paired arteries, right and left, which arise from the corresponding subclavian arteries and ascend into the neck through the transverse foramina of the cervical vertebrae to reach the skull where they unite to form the artery indicated by the blue arrow, which is the basilar artery. The basilar artery is the main blood vessel, which contributes to the posterior circulation of the brain.

b
Vertebral artery
QuestionChoice
The image shows a representation of the basal view of the brain with the arteries in situ. The frontal lobe is at the top of the image, while the cerebellum is at the bottom of the image. The posterior cerebral arteries are paired arteries arising at the top of the basilar artery, contributing to the formation of the circle of Willis. However, the blue arrow indicates the basilar artery, the main blood vessel which contributes to the posterior circulation of the brain.
