The carotid arteries are major blood vessels in the neck that supply blood to the brain, neck, and face. There are two carotid arteries, one on the right and one on the left. In the neck, each carotid artery branches into two divisions: The internal carotid artery supplies blood to the brain.
Arteries of the Upper Limb. The arterial supply to the upper limb begins in the chest as the subclavian artery.
