The brain's energy supply relies on the intricate cerebrovascular system, comprising arteries, capillaries, and veins, ensuring the delivery of oxygen, nutrients, and metabolic substrates while efficiently removing waste products. Governed by specific physiological mechanisms, this system aligns with cardiovascular principles yet features distinctive anatomical organization. This article offers a comprehensive overview of human brain vasculature, from historical evolution to detailed examinations of vascular anatomy, angio-architectural principles, embryological development, and functional insights, including collateral circulation.

Abstract
The brain's energy supply relies on the intricate cerebrovascular system, comprising arteries, capillaries, and veins, ensuring the delivery of oxygen, nutrients, and metabolic substrates while efficiently removing waste products. Governed by specific physiological mechanisms, this system aligns with cardiovascular principles yet features distinctive anatomical organization. This article offers a comprehensive overview of human brain vasculature, from historical evolution to detailed examinations of vascular anatomy, angio-architectural principles, embryological development, and functional insights, including collateral circulation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
