The vertebral artery is a major artery of the neck that passes through the cervical vertebrae. There are two vertebral arteries, one on each side, and each branches off from the subclavian artery. They merge to form the single basilar artery at the base of the brain.
From there the basilar artery provides blood to the posterior structures of the brain, including the brain stem, cerebellum, and cerebrum. The left and right carotid arteries each divide in the neck to form the left and right internal carotid as well as the left and right external carotid arteries.
