The courses of the left andright common carotids aresimilar.
Both start behind thecorresponding sternoclavicular joints running laterally upwardsat the level of upper border of
thyroid cartilage.
Here it terminates by dividinginto external and internal
carotids.

The common carotid is related :
MEDIALLY: Thyroid gland , larynx, pharynx,trachea, oesophagus.
LATERALLY: Internal jugular vein and the
vagus nerve.

CAROTID SINUS : The termination of the common carotid arteryor the beginning of the internal carotid artery
shows a slight dilatation , known as carotidsinus.Here the tunica media is thin, and theadventitia is thicker which recieves a richinnervation by the 9 th nerve and sympatheticnerves .It acts as a baroreceptor or a pressure receptorand regulates blood pressure.
8/13/2019 Arterial Suppply of Head&Neck

It is a small reddish brown structure situatedbehind the bifurcation of the commoncarotid.
Recieves nerve supply from the 9 th , 10 thand the sympathetic nerves.
Acts as a chemoreceptor and responds tochanges in oxygen, carbon dioxide and pHcontent of the blood.

The artery and the external larygeal nerve are in closeapproximation higher up but diverge near the gland.
To avoid injury to the external laryngeal nerve, thesuperior thyroid artery is ligated as near to the glandas possible whereas in case of inferior thyroid artery , it isligated as far away from the gland as possible to save
the reccurent laryngeal nerve.
Its relationship to the external laryngeal nerve isimportant during thyroid surgeries.

The Circle of Willis (also called Willis' Circle,cerebral arterial circle , arterial Circle of Willis, andWillis Polygon ) is a circle of arteries that supply
blood to the brain.
It is named after Thomas Willis (1621 1673) , an
English physician.
8/13/2019 Arterial Suppply of Head&Neck
77/89
The Circle of Willis comprises the followingarteries :Anterior cerebral artery (left and right)
Anterior communicating artery
Internal carotid artery (left and right)
Posterior cerebral artery (left and right)
Posterior communicating artery (left and right)

If one part of the circlebecomes blocked ornarrowed (stenosed) orone of the arteriessupplying the circle isblocked or narrowed,blood flow from the other
blood vessels can oftenpreserve the cerebralperfusion well enough toavoid the symptoms of
ischemia.

Subclavian steal syndrome:In subclavian steal syndrome, blood is "stolen"from the Circle of Willis to preserve blood flow to
the upper limb.Subclavian steal syndrome results from a proximalstenosis (narrowing) of the subclavian artery, an
artery supplied by the aorta which is also the samevessel that eventually feeds the Circle of Willis viathe common carotid artery.
