CAROTID, ILLUSTRATION

Arterial vascularization of the neck.. The arteries of the neck are mainly composed of carotids, anteriorly, and vertebral arteries (not visible here), posteriorly. They irrigate the structures of the neck, head and brain.. The carotid arteries are issue from the aortic arch. The common carotid arteries, right and left, divide at thyroid-level into internal and external carotids. The external carotid gives numerous collateral arteries, among which the facial artery (in direction of the face) and the occipital artery (towards the basis of the skull).. The vertebral artery is issue from the subsclavian artery ; it goes towards the brain passing at the level of the transverse processes of the vertebrae.. Posteriorly, the deep cervical artery irrigates the musles of the neck.. See images 1166307 for a front view, 1167607 for a profile view of a man.
