Circle of Willis Poster
"The Circle of Willis: A Tapestry of Cerebral Tributaries" is part of the Curative Design poster series, designed by Eleanor Lutz. This poster lists the various arteries known as the "Circle of Willis," a circulatory anastomosis that supplies blood to the brain and surrounding structures, named after Thomas Willis, an English physician from the 17th century. This poster depicts their relative locations on a map designed in the style of a medieval tapestry, as if these arteries were actually noble families with their own family crests. It's like Game of Thrones meets hemodynamics! Arteries listed on this poster: Anterior Communicating Artery Anterior Cerebral Artery Middle Cerebral Artery Posterior Communicating Artery Posterior Cerebral Artery Superior Cerebellar Artery Anterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Anterior Spinal Artery Vertebral Artery Basilar Artery Pontine Arteries Anterior Choroidal Artery Lenticulostriate Artery Internal Carotid Arter
