What else can I help you with?
What structures are found within the carotid sheath?
The internal jugular vein The carotid arteries (common and internal) The vagus nerve
What are the two pairs of arteries arising from the internal carotid artery?
1) maxillary artery 2) superficial temporal artery
What are the main structures in the carotid triangle?
The main structures in the carotid triangle include the common carotid artery, internal carotid artery, external carotid artery, internal jugular vein, vagus nerve (CN X), hypoglossal nerve (CN XII), and ansa cervicalis.
What system does the common carotid artery belong to?
The common carotid artery belongs to the circulatory system, specifically the arterial system. It is responsible for supplying oxygenated blood to the head and neck. The common carotid artery bifurcates into the internal and external carotid arteries, which further supply blood to the brain and face, respectively.
Major artery serving the tissues external to the skull?
The external carotid artery.
What is the major artery serving the tissues external to the skull?
The major artery serving the tissues external to the skull is the external carotid artery. This artery branches off from the common carotid artery and supplies blood to structures such as the face, scalp, and neck.
List at least ten major vessels in the circulatory system?
Some of the vessels are the basilar artery, internal carotid artery, external carotid artery,, external jugular vein, internal jugular vein, vertebral arteries, common carotid arteries, pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins, heart, celiac trunk, hepatic vein, renal veins, gonadal vein, common iliac vein, common iliac artery, internal iliac artery, and internal iliac vein. Other vessels are great saphenous vein, femoral artery, femoral vein, popliteal artery, popliteal vein, and small saphenous vein.
What is the vein that drains the area supplied by the carotid artery?
jugular veins...internal and external
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.
What artery travels through the carotid canal?
the internal carotid artery
How do I trace blood from the ascending aorta to the lower right first molar?
The first thing is to determine what artery provides blood to the lower right first molar. The lower teeth sit in the mandible and are supplied by branches of the The major artery in the mandible supplying the teeth is the inferior alveolar artery, which sends branches to supply the roots of each tooth (including the first molar) in the lower jaw. Next is to find the origin of the inferior alveolar artery and work backwards until we get to the ascending aorta. The inferior alveolar artery is a branch of the internal maxillary artery, which itself is a branch of the external carotid artery. The external carotid artery is a branch of the common carotid artery. So far everything has been symmetrical, so it hasn't mattered whether we specified that the artery was on the right or the left side. But the common carotid arteries behave a little differently. The right common carotid is a branch of the innominate artery, which branches from the aortic arch. The left common carotid artery branches directly from the aortic arch. Since we're concerned with the lower right first molar, we'll work backwards from the right common carotid, innominate artery, and aortic arch. The last bit is just to know that the aortic arch is an extension of the ascending aorta. With that, we're done. Now we just sew the whole thing together, artery by artery, in the reverse order: Ascending aorta -> aortic arch -> innominate artery -> right common carotid artery -> right external carotid artery -> right internal maxillary artery -> right inferior alveolar artery -> branch to lower right first molar.
Major artery of the skull?
External carotid artery
