The carotid arteries (internal carotid arteries are a major branch) and vertebral arteries are the main suppliers of blood to the brain. The carotid arteries branch off from the common carotid arteries (originating from the aorta in part) and travel up the neck to supply the anterior and middle parts of the brain. The vertebral arteries (branching from the subclavian arteries) merge to form the basilar artery, which supplies the posterior part of the brain.
