The carotid artery is a major blood vessel in the neck that supplies oxygenated blood to the brain, neck, and face. There are two main carotid arteries: the left and right, which branch into internal and external carotid arteries. Understanding the normal anatomy and physiology of these arteries is crucial for diagnosing and managing conditions such as carotid artery stenosis and stroke. Maintaining healthy carotid arteries is essential for overall cardiovascular health.
