Blood Supply to the Brain, Part 1- Basics, External Carotid Artery (ECA), and Internal Carotid Artery (ICA)

In this episode, we explore the fundamentals of the brain’s blood supply, beginning with an overview of its high metabolic demands and the critical importance of continuous circulation. We then dive into the anatomy and key branches of the External Carotid Artery (ECA) and Internal Carotid Artery (ICA), discussing their roles in brain perfusion and collateral circulation. This episode sets the stage for a detailed breakdown of the vascular systems that sustain brain function, highlighting essential concepts for neurosurgery.Feel free to share your feedback! mufarooq@augusta.edu — Mustafa Farooq, MS4
