Artery of the Corpus Striatum

The striatal artery is one of the branches of the internal carotid artery, running along the bottom of the midbrain at its base. It supplies blood to the actual cluster of neurons of the striatum and the body of the large nuclei of the internal cranial nerves (III, IV, V, VI and VII). The internal carotid artery (a. carotis interna) and the artery of the cerebellopontine angle are connected by the great cerebral artery (a. cerebri magna), from which the artery of the corpus striatum departs.

The striatal artery (arteria striatica) is one of the large arteries of the brain that provides blood flow to important areas of the brain. It is located in the brain stem and is one of two channels that carries blood into the white matter of the brain. The artery passes through a number of important anatomical regions where it supplies blood to areas such as the striatum, frontal cortex, hypothalamus, thalamus and many others.

The striatal artery is a large artery, about 43 mm long, that runs through the brainstem from the pons to the thalamus. This artery emerges from the left side of the corpus callosum of the brain and then passes through the orbital track to reach the thalamus before reaching the thalamic septum.

The functions of the striatal artery include supplying blood to a number of important areas of the brain, such as the striatum, cerebral cortices of the frontal and
