Every person has four carotid arteries
Internal Carotid Arteries
carotid
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.

femoral, carotid, brachial, radial...
the carotid arteries
The anterior portions of the brain are supplied by the internal carotid arteries. The posterior portion of the brain is supplied by the vertebral arteries.
A carotid ultrasound examines the structure of the carotid arteries. A carotid ultrasound is used to test for blocked carotid arteries which could result in a stroke.

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.

I believe it is the internal carotid arteries.
The carotid arteries bring oxygenated blood to the neck, face, head and brain.The arteries that carry flood to the structures of the head are the carotid arteries. The common carotid arteries split to form the internal and external carotid artery. The external carotid supplies blood to most of the facial and scalp structures, while the internal carotid enters the skull and supplies blood to the brain via the middle cerebral arteries.
None. The carotid arteries do.
