Study Notes

Great Vessels of the Head and Neck

Common Carotid Artery

  • Origin: Right common carotid artery is a terminal branch of the brachiocephalic artery, behind the sternoclavicular joint; Left common carotid artery arises in the thorax from the arch of the aorta.
  • Branches:
    • Eight branches that can be grouped into:
      • Three anterior branches
      • Two posterior branches
      • One medial branch: ascending pharyngeal
      • Two terminal branches: maxillary and superficial temporal

Lingual Artery

  • Origin: Arises opposite the tip of the greater cornu of the hyoid bone.
  • Course: Divided into three parts by the hyoglossus muscle.
  • Branches:
    • Suprahyoid artery: arises from the first part and passes along the upper border of the hyoid bone.
    • Dorsal lingual arteries: arise from the second part and consist of 3 or 4 branches to supply the tongue, tonsil, and soft palate.
    • Sublingual artery: arises from the third part and supplies the sublingual gland.

Facial Artery

  • Branches in the face:
    • Angular
    • Lateral nasal
    • Artery to cheeks
    • Superior labial
    • Ascending palatine
    • Inferior labial
  • Cervical branches:
    • Tonsilar
    • Glandular
    • Summental

Subclavian Artery

  • Origin:
    • Right side: terminal branch of the brachiocephalic artery, behind the sternoclavicular joint.
    • Left side: arises in the thorax from the arch of the aorta and ascends to enter the neck behind the sternoclavicular joint.
  • Parts:
    • First part: medial to the scalenus anterior.
    • Second part: lies behind the scalenus anterior.
    • Third part: lateral to the scalenus anterior.
  • Branches:
    • First part: gives 3 branches:
      • Vertebral artery
      • Thyrocervical trunk
      • Internal thoracic artery
    • Second part: gives one branch: costocervical trunk.
    • Third part: no branches.

Vertebral Artery

  • Origin: From the first part of the subclavian artery.
  • Course: Enters the cranial cavity and supplies the spinal cord and brain.
