Anterior spinal artery comes from two joined branches from the ___
|
vertebral arteries
|
|
Arteries that arise from the aorta intermittently, to help supply spinal cord. Ant. and Post. Radiucular arteries branch off of these at every spinal level.
|
Spinal medullary arteries. Aka Segmental/Feeder aa.
|
|
Arteries that branch off the Spinal Medullary arteries (feeder/segmental) at every spinal cord segment.
|
Anterior and Posterior Radicular arteries
|
|
A very large spinal medullary artery that comes off usually on the left side, in the lower thoracic/upper lumbar area.
|
Artery of Adamkiewicz.
|

|
vertebral arteries, aorta
|
|
Aorta --> ____ --> radicular aa
|
