The are two paired arteries that supply the head. You have the carotid arteries (where you take your pulse in the neck). There are also paired vertebral arteries that run up through the transverse foramen in the cervical vertebrae.
The blood supply of the scalp is via five pairs of arteries, three from the external carotid and two from the internal carotid:
There are 5 pairs of arteries which supply blood to the scalp.1. Supartrochlear artery - midline forehead
2. Supraorbital artery -- lateral forehead and scalp
3. Superficial temporal artery -- frontal and side portions of the scalp
4. Occipital artery -- back of scalp
5. Posterior auricular artery -- just above and behind the ear.
The main artery of the head is the external carotid.
The occipital artery supplies blood to the back of the scalp and sternomastoid muscles.
External Carotid
Carotid artery.
External Carotid
the external carotid artery
The main artery in your neck is called the Carotid Artery. It is the largest artery in the neck region.
The Carotid artery is conected to the brain.
jugular vein
The radial artery, carotid artery, and the brachial artery can be used to feel your pulse; but only if you feel them with your tongue. The easiest to do the radial artery, located in your elbow.
carotid
The carotid artery in the neck and the radial artery in the wrist.
The main artery in your neck is called the Carotid Artery. It is the largest artery in the neck region.
Main artery in neck
Carotid (in the neck)
External carotid artery
because a main artery flows through there. It's your heartbeat making it pulsate.
A pulse can be felt where an artery crosses a bone. The main areas where the strongest pulse may be felt are the carotid artery in the neck, the brachial artery in the crook of the arm and the radial artery in the inner wrist.
Carotid Artery Radial Artery Brachial Artery Femoral Artery Popliteal Artery Posterior Tibial Artery Dorsalis Pedis Artery These are the main ones that are checked.
