Card 12 / 47:
Why can the circle of Willis maintain perfusion of the brain even if there is a blockage in one part of the structure?
The structure is a circular connection of blood vessels, so that blood coming up from one of the arteries can flow in either direction around the circle and avoid any blockage or narrowing of the blood vessels.
