Channels 1 and 2 supply the arterial circle. Neither channel has a [[#Rete_Mirable|rete mirable]]. The internal carotid artery blood reaches all of the cerebral hemisphere except for it's most caudal part. Vertebral blood supplies the the remainder of the cerebral hemisphere and the rest of the brain.

===Sheep and Cat===
Only channel 3 supplies the arterial circle and unlike in the dog, this channel has a rete mirable. Channel 2 carries blood away from the arterial circle. Maxillary blood is distributed to all of the brain except the caudal part of medulla oblongata, which is supplied by vertibral blood.

===Ox===
Channels 3 and 4 both supply the arterial circle and each has a rete mirable. Channel 2 carries blood away from the arterial circle. A mixture of maxillary and vertebral blood reaches all parts of the brain.
