What artery supplies blood to the head and neck?
The left and right common carotid arteries branch off the arch of the aorta. They travel up through the neck and at the level of C4 divide into external and internal carotid arteries. The internal travels more deeply and ultimately the blood it carries supplies areas of the brain, the external is more superficial and is largely responsible for supplying areas of the neck and face.
What is the main blood vessel that goes to the brain?
Carotid arteries supply blood to brain . Blood is supplied to the entire brain by 2 pairs of arteries: the internal carotid arteries and vertebral arteries. The right and left vertebral arteries come together at the base of the brain to form a single basilar artery. The basilar artery joins the blood supply of the internal carotid arteries in a ring at the base of the brain. This ring of arteries is called the circle of Willis. The circle of Willis provides a safety mechanism...if one of the arteries gets blocked, the "circle" will still provide the brain with blood.
