Q

Considerations of raising common carotid artery

A

Ensures direct distribution to the face. Close to the center of circulation (arch of aorta). Has no branches except terminal branches. Face may be embalmed with milder solution than remainder of the body with restricted cervical injection.

Q

What are the two branches that arise off the ascending aorta.

A

The left and right coronary arteries, which form a crown around the heart muscle. They are the only arteries that feed the heart muscle itself. Off two of the cusps of the aortic semilunar valve is the origin of the coronary arteries.
