The arcuate arteries are small curved branches of arteries supplying the brain with fresh blood. Blood supply to the brain, about 250 millilitres every second, is constant. The brain is more sensitive to lack of oxygen than any other organs in the body. Brain cells suffer permanent damage if their blood supply stops for more than two minutes. For this reason, the body has developed a safety system, called autoregulation, by which various nerves act to maintain the flow of blood to the brain even if the flow to the rest of the body falls dramatically, as in the case of a severe haemorrhage.
