    The document discusses the major arteries and veins supplying the head and neck. It describes how the common carotid arteries arise and their branches, including the external and internal carotid arteries. The external carotid artery supplies the face and neck and has several named branches. The internal carotid artery has no branches in the neck and supplies the brain. The subclavian arteries are also described, including their parts and branches like the vertebral artery. The major veins draining the head and neck are discussed, including how the external and internal jugular veins form and their tributaries.

    Through carotid canal enters into cranial cavity
    Supplies brain, eyes, forehead and part of the nose

    Subclavian Artery
    Right Subclavian Artery:
    Arises from brachiocephalic artery
    (Behind right sternoclavicular joint)

    Runs upwards to the root of the neck & arches
    laterally
    At outer border of 1st rib it becomes Axillary Artery

    Subclavian Artery
    Scalenus Anterior muscle passes anterior to the
    artery on each side and divides it into 3 parts.

    It joins anterior
    division of
    retromandibular vein

    Superficial temporal Vein

    Formed on the side of the scalp. Enters parotid gland.


    It joins maxillary vein to form Retromandibular vein.

    Maxillary Vein

    Formed in the Infratemporal fossa from the Pterygoid venous plexus.


    It joins superficial temporal vein to form Retromandibular vein.

    Retromandibular Vein

    Formed by the union of maxillary vein and superficial


    temporal vein.
    Leaving parotid gland divides into anterior branch and
    posterior branch.
    Anterior branch joins facial vein.
    Posterior branch joins posterior auricular vein to form
    external jugular vein.

    External jugular Vein

    Formed behind the angle of jaw by the union of


    Posterior branch of retromandibular vein with
    posterior auricular vein.
    It drains into subclavian vein
    Tributaries:
    Posterior external jugular
    Transverse cervical
    Suprascapular
    Anterior jugular

    Internal jugular Vein

    Receives blood from brain, face and neck.


    Continuation of sigmoid sinus and leave the skull from
    jugular foramen.
    Ends by joining subclavian vein to form brachiocephalic
    vein.
    Tributaries:
    Facial vein
    Pharyngeal vein
    Lingual vein
    Superior thyroid vein
    Middle thyroid vein

    Subclavian Vein
    Continuation of axillary vein at the outer border of 1st rib.
    Joins internal jugular vein to form brachiocephalic vein.
