In humans, there are no bicarotid trunks like there are in cats. Both animals do receive oxygen rich blood from these arteries.
The carotid arteries are very similar in pigs and humans. The cardiovascular system is conserved across all mammal species including pigs and humans.
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.
The aortic arch typically gives rise to three main arteries in humans: the brachiocephalic trunk, the left common carotid artery, and the left subclavian artery. The brachiocephalic trunk further divides into the right common carotid and right subclavian arteries. This configuration can vary slightly in some individuals, but these three branches are standard.
common iliac arteries
They are completely different species! In humans the abdominal aorta splits and a short section continues on to divide and form two internal iliac arteries. Cats have no common iliac arteries.
The abdominal aorta splits caudally into the external iliac arteries, and a short section of the aorta continues on and then divides to form the two internal iliac arteries and the caudal artery. There is no common iliac artery in cats as there is in humans. In cats, the caudal artery takes blood to the tail

Not when blocking the windpipe or arteries.
Humans typically have one pulse that can be felt at various points on the body, such as the wrist (radial pulse) or neck (carotid pulse). The pulse reflects the heart's rhythm and rate as it pumps blood through the arteries. While we can measure the pulse in multiple locations, it is essentially a single physiological phenomenon.

In your brain. Many people don't know that the drowsy feeling and cherry-red lips and flushed cheeks are signs of CO2 poisoning. Be safe and buy a CO2 alarm.Your dog may save you from a fire, but pets won't help with a CO2 leak.
Pulse.The alternate expansion and recoil of arteries create a pressure wave called pulse, that moves along the arteries with each heartbeat.Source: Biology of Humans. Goodenough.McGuire, 34rd Edition. page 222
