The document discusses the anatomy of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), describing its origin, course, segments, branches, variations, and the functional anatomy of the areas it supplies. Specifically, it notes that the MCA anatomy includes describing the origin, course segmented into M1-M4 portions, early and perforating branches, and cortical branches that supply the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes. It then provides details on the functions of these lobes and clinical deficits that can result from ischemia in the territory of the MCA.
