Circle of Willis in a Square
This AiA rendering of the arterial circulation of the brain is centered on the circle of Willis (COW) which has two basic systems that feed it; the carotid arterial system (salmon pink) and the vertebro-basilar system (brighter pink). They both feed into the circle of Willis (bright red) via communicating branches. The middle cerebral artery is the vessel that feeds into the COW by providing the anterior communicating artery and the posterior cerebral .Conceptually as depicted in this diagram the circle of Willis is the center of the cerebral circulation and from it blood flows into the anterior (bright green), middle (darker green) and posterior cerebral (maroon) regions.
The abstract square of the circle of Willis has a contemporary and minimalist, and cubist feel- peppered with surrealism of a coffee table flying through the air.
