carotid body
The superficial temporal artery supplies most of the head external to the skull. It is a branch of the external carotid artery and itself branches to send blood to the face, forehead and scalp. The other terminal branch of the external carotid, the maxillary artery supplies the deep tissues of the face. The scalp in the back of the head (the occipital area) is supplied by the occipital artery, which is also a branch of the external carotid (but not one of the terminal branches).
The physician must be sure there is no evidence of blockage in the carotid artery before performing the procedure. Massage in a blocked area might cause a clot to break loose and cause a stroke.
Lingual artery
It means you can feel the pulses of blood flowing through your main artery in the uterus (uterine artery) just by touching the area where the uterine artery passes through.

Its not cartoid artery, its carotid artery. You have one on each side of your neck, supplying blood to the head and neck area.
They are area in the blood vessels that have high concentration of receptors [e.g pulmonary artery,svc&ivc,aortic arch and bifurcation of the common carotid artery].
Part 1Much of the brain is supplied blood by the internal carotid arteries.Part 2The internal carotid arteries branch at the base of the brain in an area called the circle of Willis.Part 3A blood clot (thrombus) may form in the body, break-off, and travel to the brain through a carotid artery and the circle of Willis.Part 4The blood clot may block the passage of blood through a brain artery, depriving nearby tissue of oxygen and nutrients. The result is a stroke.Reviewed ByReview Date: 06/24/2011Reviewed by David Zieve, MD, MHA, Medical Director, A.D.A.M., Inc.
no, because you should hear from radial pulse area, or Carotid Artery Pulse.

Rubbing the carotid sinus stimulates an area in the artery wall that contains nerve endings. These nerves respond to changes in blood pressure and are capable of slowing the heart rate.
A watershed is an area of land that drains to a common body of water.

The 10 pulse points or pressure points:: 1. The external maxillary 2. The superficial temporal 3. The carotid 4. The brachial 5. The ulnar 6. The radial 7. The femoral 8. The popliteal 9. The posterior tibial 10. The dorsalis pedis Most commonly used is #6. But EMT's will use #3 in an emergency.
Its a reservoir :)
