Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The anterior cerebral artery is one of the main arteries that supply blood to the brain.The functional areas supplied by this artery are the medial and inferior surfaces of each hemisphere: the frontal lobe and the parietal lobe.Therefore,this patient who suffered a CVA in the anterior cerebral artery would have damage to the frontal lobe and the parietal lobes.The middle cerebral artery supplies blood to the temporal and occipital lobes.The temporal lobe and midbrain obtain blood from the posterior cerebral artery.The functional areas supplied by the basilar artery are the midbrain and medulla.
