Q

Explain the path of the vertebral artery

A

Travels superiorly in the transverse foramina of cervical vertebrae C6-1, exits transverse foramina of atlas, crosses over posterior arch of atlas, passes through floor of suboccipital triangle, sends branches anterior/posteriorly to form ant/post spinal arteries, then enters posterior cranial fossa through foramen magnum and meets up with contralateral vertebral artery to form basilar artery which produces paraspinal arteries
