Their number varies from individual to individual. On average, there are 3 to 4 dorsal radiculopial arteries in the cervical region, 6 to 9 in the thoracic region, and 0 to 3 in the lumbosacral region. Radiculomedullary Arteries The radiculomedullary arteries provide the only segmental supply to the ventral spinal axis (anterior spinal artery) and are the dominant source of supply to the cord over several functional segments. 2. 4 Sources: Modified from Lasjaunias, P, Berenstein, A, TerBrugge KG.
In the cervical region, there may be congenital lack of fusion of the embryological dual ventral spinal axes, resulting in a short unfused segment. Microcirculation The circulation beyond the level of the ventral spinal axis and the dorsolateral pial network (posterior spinal arteries) is conceptually divided into a centrifugal (from the center of the cord out) and a centripetal (from the pial surface toward the center of the cord) system. Centrifugal System The centrifugal system is also known as the sulcocommisural system.
