Lecture 18: Neck 2 Flashcards
primary blood supply to structures of head and neck is via what arteries (general)
common carotid
supplemental blood supply to structures of head and neck is via
subclavian arteries
what is the 1st branch off subclavian artery
vertebral artery
vertebral artery: path, what it supplies (general)
passes through transverse foramina of C6-C1 but bypasses C7
branches to cervical vertebral muscles and spinal cord
minor branches of subclavian (2)
deep cervical artery
superficial cervical artery
what do deep and superficial cervical arteries supply (general)
structures of root of the neck
what does common carotid artery divide into (2)
internal carotid
external carotid
where does common carotid divide into 2 branches
at the hyoid
which carotid supplies the brain
internal
what does the external carotid supply (general)
most of the regions of the head
what does the common carotid supply in the neck (general)
viscera and ventral musculature
what is the first branch off external carotid that supplies portion of thyroid
cranial thyroid artery
carotid sinus: definition, what does it contain
dilation of origin at internal carotid artery
contains baroreceptors
carotid body: definition/location, what does it contain
small mass next to carotid sinus
contains chemoreceptors
path of internal carotid artery
goes directly to the skull where it enters skull and passes through carotid canal
what artery passes through carotid canal
internal carotid
internal carotid in ruminants
obliterates and disappears completely
4 branches of external carotid artery that supply cervical structures
cranial laryngeal
ascending pharyngeal
lingual
occipital
