FRONTAL HORN
Anteriorly, the Genu of the corpus callosum borders the space, its
floor contain the head of the caudate nucleus.
TEMPORAL HORN
This is the most inferior aspect of the cavity. It extends into the
temporal lobe and houses its own choroid plexus. Additionally, it
contains parts of the limbic system. The tail of the caudate nucleus is
adjacent to the temporal horn. The anterior part of its floor contains
the pes hypppocampus that resemble a lion’s paw. The middle part
of the floor contains the dentate gyrus, the fimbrae of the
hippocampus, the hippocampus and collateralll eminence (proximal
part of collateral trigone) form medial to lateral.

EPITHALAMUS
The brain receives blood from two sources; the internal carotid
arteries, which arise at the point in the neck where the common
carotid arteries bifurcate, and the vertebral arteries. The internal
carotid arteries branch to form two major cerebral arteries, the
anterior and middle cerebral arteries. The artery supplies a portion
of the frontal and the lateral surface of the temporal and parietal
lobes, including the primary motor and sensory areas of the face
throat, hand and arm, and in the dominant hemisphere, the areas for
speech. The middle cerebral artery is the artery most often occluded
in stroke. At the circle of Willis, the internal catrotid arteries branch
into smaller arteries that supply oxygenated blood to over 80% of
the cerebrum.
The brain receives blood from two sources: the internal carotid
arteries which arise at the point of bifurcation of the common
carotid arteries in the neck, and the vertebral arteries. The internal
carotid arteries branch to form two major cerebral arteries, the
anterior and middle cerebral arteries.
The right cerebral artery supply blood to the anterior temporal
lobes and the insular cortices. The left and right meets pie from
bifurcation of the internal carotid arteries and then are connected to
the anterior cerebral arteries and the posterior communicating
arteries, which connect to the posterior cerebral arteries.
CBF
The three main cerebral arteries are anterior, middle and posterior
cerebral arteries. They each supply a different portion of the
cerebrum. The anterior cerebral arteries supply the antero-medial
portion of the cerebrum. The middle cerebral arteries are situated
laterally, supplying the majority of the lateral part of the brain.
