Broca's area helps mediate speech and is locatated in the posterior region of the frontal lobe.
The anterior cerebral arteries supply the medial and superior parts of the frontal lobes and anterior parietal lobes. This provides blood flow for the primary motor and somatosensory cortex of the leg and foot as well as for motor planing areas.
Transsphenoidal approach includes going through the nose, through the soft palate and through the ethmoid bone to reach the pituitary gland within the sphenodial bone. Close to the pituitary gland runs the internal carotid arteries, which may be knicked when removing the pitutitary gland.
