[Morphologic characteristics of the gyrus cinguli vascular network]

Vascular network of gyrus cinguli has been examined in adult brains. This vascular network is extended in the form of a cone from lower to upper lip of Sulcus corporis calosi. The blood vessels in the area of lower lip and bottom of the Sulcus corporis calosi are oriented obliquely, almost parallel to cerebral cortex surface, while in the area of upper lip of sulcus are oriented perpendicularly to the cerebral cortex surface. Arteries in this area have few recurrent branches, while fountain shaped arteries are found infrequently. Shorter spiral arteries are found, too. Longer veins predominates in this area (V4 and V5). Drainage territories of certain veins are larger than irrigation territories of the appropriate arteries.
