Arteries of the neck

The video tutorial by Dr. Morton covers the major arteries in the neck, including the subclavian, common carotid, internal carotid, and external carotid arteries. It explains their origins, branches, and the tissues and organs they supply. The subclavian artery's asymmetrical origin and its branches, such as the vertebral and thyrocervical trunk, are discussed. The common carotid artery's role in measuring heart rate and its bifurcation into internal and external carotid arteries are highlighted. The internal carotid artery's function in brain circulation and the carotid sinus's role in blood pressure regulation are explained. Finally, the external carotid artery's branches and their supply areas are detailed.
