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.
