Carotid artery
The carotid arteries are blood vessels responsible for delivering blood to the upper region of the body. There are two carotid arteries, one of the left and another on the right. The artery on each side divides into two branches at the neck; the internal carotid artery brings blood to the brain while the external carotid artery brings blood to the face and neck.
