Posterior communicating artery. In human anatomy, the left and right posterior communicating arteries are arteries at the base of the brain that form part of the circle of Willis. Each posterior communicating artery connects the three cerebral arteries of the same side. Anteriorly, it connects to the internal carotid artery (ICA) prior to the terminal bifurcation of the ICA into the anterior cerebral artery and middle cerebral artery.
The posterior cerebral artery (PCA) supplies oxygenated blood to the visual cortex in tandem with the middle cerebral artery. The visual cortex is in the back of the brain and responsible for processing visual information.
