9 maj 2023 · The midbrain measures around 1.5 centimeters in length and is sandwiched between the diencephalon (which includes the thalamus and hypothalamus) and the pons. The midbrain receives blood supply from the basilar artery and its branches, including the posterior cerebral artery and the superior cerebellar artery.

3 lis 2023 · The tectum of the midbrain receives its blood supply from the superior cerebellar artery. The central part of the tegmentum is supplied by the posterior cerebral artery and paramedian branches of the basilar artery, while the most lateral parts of the midbrain are nourished by the posterior cerebral artery solely.
9 maj 2023 · The midbrain, also known as the mesencephalon, is located in the center of the brain, above the pons and below the thalamus. It is an essential part of the brainstem and connects the spinal cord to the forebrain. The midbrain consists of two main parts: the tectum and the tegmentum.
The midbrain is supplied by the following arteries: The tectum is supplied by the superior cerebellar artery. The central part of the tegmentum is supplied by the paramedian branches of the basilar artery. The lateral part of the midbrain is supplied by the posterior cerebral artery.
Midbrain, region of the developing vertebrate brain that is composed of the tectum and tegmentum. The midbrain serves important functions in motor movement, particularly movements of the eye, and in auditory and visual processing.
The midbrain is the topmost part of the brainstem, the connection central between the brain and the spinal cord. There are three main parts of the midbrain - the colliculi, the tegmentum, and the cerebral peduncles.
Arterial blood supply to the midbrain is provided by the posterior choroidal artery and the basilar artery and its branches, namely, the posterior cerebral artery and its peduncular branch, the superior cerebellar artery, and the interpeduncular perforating and paramedian branches of the basilar artery.
