The arteries are usually divided into different segments from 1–4 or 5 to denote how far the level of the branch with the lower numbers denoting vessels closer to the source artery. Even though the arteries branching off these vessels retain some aspect of constancy in terms of size and position, a great amount of variety in topography ...
Superficial dissection of the right side of the neck, showing the carotid and subclavian arteries. At the lower part of the neck, the common carotid artery is very deeply seated, being covered by the integument, superficial fascia, the platysma muscle, deep cervical fascia, the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the sternohyoid, sternothyroid, and the ...

Internal carotid arteries: These large arteries are the medial branches of the common carotid arteries which enter the skull, as opposed to the external carotid branches which supply the facial tissues; the internal carotid artery branches into the anterior cerebral artery and continues to form the middle cerebral artery.
Clavicular head: anterior surface of the medial half of the clavicle. Sternocostal head: anterior surface of the sternum, the superior six costal cartilages, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle: Insertion: Lateral lip of the bicipital groove of the humerus (anteromedial proximal humerus) Artery: Pectoral branch of the ...
It originates from the axillary artery and follows the lower border of the pectoralis minor muscle [1] to the side of the chest to supply the serratus anterior muscle, [2] pectoralis major muscle [3] and pectoralis minor muscle, [4] and sends branches across the axilla to the axillary lymph nodes and subscapularis muscle.

The basilar artery is the main blood supply to the brainstem and connects to the Circle of Willis to potentially supply the rest of the brain if there is compromise to one of the carotids. At each cervical level, the vertebral artery sends branches to the surrounding musculature via the anterior spinal arteries.
