What is atherosclerotic calcifications of the intracranial internal carotid arteries?
When looking at a phrase like this, it is easiest to break it down into individual words, until you become fluent in reading medical terminology.
Atherosclerotic refers to the build up of atheroma, (cholesterol or fat) in the arteries, that leads to the passageway through the artery becoming narrow.
Calcification is the build up of calcium, causing the artery to harden.
Intracranial means within the cranium (Skull).
Internal Carotid Arteries are major arteries that supply the brain.
So this phrase means, there are fat and calcium salt deposits within some major arteries to the brain, that have caused the arteries to become more narrow and harden.

What is Radiographic study of the arteries?
What is radiographic study of the arteries? It is an arteriogram, a graphic image or x-ray of the internal arteries.
What artery supplies blood to the bladder?

What are the two pairs of arteries that supply the brain?
It is the Internal carotid and the vertebral arteries. The vertebral arteries join to form the basilar artery which supply the midbrain and the cerebellum. The internal carotid branches divides to form the left and right internal carotids which supply the left and right side of the brain respectively.

What do the anterior and middle cerebral arteries arise from?
the carotid arteries

I believe it is the internal carotid arteries.
What artery supplies blood to the bladder?
A pair of internal illiac arteries provides blood to urinary bladder.
What do anterior and middle cerebral arteries arise from?
The anterior and posterior cerebral arteries are both branches of the internal carotid artery
What it the pathway of blood from heart to anterior cerebral artery?
Blood is ejected from the left ventricle of the heart into the aorta, which then gives rise to the internal carotid arteries. The internal carotid arteries further branch into the middle cerebral arteries, which in turn supply blood to the anterior cerebral arteries.
Which arteries supply blood to the pelvic structures?
