KembaraXtra-Psychology – Basilar Artery
The basilar artery is a major unpaired blood vessel located at the base of the brain, formed by the merging of the two vertebral arteries. It supplies oxygenated blood to critical structures including the pons, cerebellum, posterior cerebrum, and parts of the inner ear. Because these regions are essential for motor coordination, balance, consciousness, and sensory processing, disruption of blood flow in the basilar artery can produce severe neurological deficits. Its anatomical and functional importance makes it central to understanding cerebrovascular disorders affecting posterior brain regions.
