Pass through the transverse formina (passageway or canal) in the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae, then pass towards cerebral arterial circle. There is a left and right portion of each main artery, so there are 4 vessels (2 on each side of the body) that bring arterial blood to brain. Cerebral arterial circle = circle of willis.
