The (MCA) is one of the three major
Arteries that supplies
Blood to the
Brain . The MCA arises from the internal
Carotid and continues into the
Lateral Sulcus where it then branches and projects to many parts of the lateral cerebral cortex. It also supplies blood to the anterior
Temporal Lobe s and the
Insular Cortices .
The MCAs rise from trifurcations of the
Internal Carotid Arteries and thus are connected to the
Anterior Cerebral Arteries and the
Posterior Communicating Arteries , which connect to the
Posterior Cerebral Arteries . The MCAs are not considered a part of the
Circle Of Willis .
