Question

The arteries that transport blood towards the head?

Answer 1

The oxygenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart is drained into the aorta from where it passes to different arteries branching from the arch of aorta. The major arteries supplying the head are carotid and vertebral arteries.
The arch of aorta divides into brachiocephalic artery and left common carotid artery. The brachiocephalic artery further divides into right common carotid artery. The right and left common carotid arteries ascends towards the head and divides into right and left internal and external commoncarotid arteries.
The external carotid artery gives off six branches : Superior thyroid artery, Lingual artery, Facial artery, Ascending pharyngeal artery, Occipital artery, Posterior auricular artery.

The arch of aorta also gives of subclavian artery which further divides into right and left vertebral arteries. The vertebral areey joins to form basillar artery at the base of pons. The vertebral arteries also gives of anterior and posterior spinal arteries, posterior inferior cerebellar artery.
Circle of willis: arterial anastomoses that supplies structures of brain. It consists of right and left Anterior cerebral artery, Anterior communicating artery, right and left Internal carotid artery, right and left Posterior cerebral artery, right and left Posterior communicating artery.
