What arteries supply oxygenated blood to the face and brain?
The primary arteries supplying oxygenated blood to the face and brain are the carotid arteries. The common carotid artery bifurcates into the internal and external carotid arteries; the internal carotid supplies the brain, while the external carotid supplies the face and neck. Additionally, the vertebral arteries, which branch from the subclavian arteries, also contribute to the blood supply to the brain by forming the basilar artery. Together, these arteries ensure adequate oxygenation to these critical areas.
