What part of the body does the carotid artery supply?
The lingual artery is the branch of the external carotid artery that supplies the tongue with oxygenated blood.
Definition of carotid artery stenosis?
The cause of carotid stenosis is the buildup of plaque on the inner wall of the carotid artery. The reduced blood flow to the brain and the blockage of other arteries following the release of emboli can cause a stroke.
When an artery of the brain breaks or becomes blocked what is that called?
The carotid artery.
Can you live without a carotid artery?
This artery supplies blood to the brain so it is very necessary
Artery that starts with a v?
An example of an artery which starts with a 'v' is the vertebral artery, which takes blood to the posterior portion of the brain.
What artery is clogged if you have a stroke?
A stroke is when a clot causes a thrombus (blockage of flow of blood) in the veins of the brain. The brain has multiple arteries that supply it with oxygen.

Which circulatory system moves blood to your brain?
The peripheral vascular system is responsible for pumping blood into the brain. The carotid arteries are located in the neck and supply the brain with blood.
Can a blockage in the carotid cause nausea?
A blockage in the carotid artery is unlikely to directly cause nausea. Nausea is typically associated with issues affecting the gastrointestinal system or the inner ear, rather than blood flow in the carotid artery. However, if a carotid blockage leads to reduced blood flow to the brain, it could potentially cause symptoms such as dizziness or fainting, which might indirectly result in nausea.
Define the term collateral blood flow and describe how this and other factors affect the development of a stroke?
When a collateral vessel on the heart enlarges, it lets blood flow from an opencoronary artery to an adjacent one or further downstream on the same artery. In this way, collateral vessels grow and form a kind of "detour" around a blockage. This collateral circulation provides alternate routes of blood flow to the heart in cases when the heart isn't getting the blood supply it needs. When an artery in the brain is blocked due to stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), open collateral vessels can allow blood to "detour" around the blockage. This collateral circulation restores blood flow to the affected part of the brain.
Is the carotid an artery?
Yes, in fact major artery that helps supply blood to the brain.
When an artery of the brain breaks or becomes blocked what is that called?
The carotid artery.
What artery carries blood to the brain?
Vena Cava
What major organ would be damaged if a persons carotid artery were severed?
Brain, artery's help pump blood to the heart which pumps it to the brain
What are vessels involved in the circulatory pathway to and from the brain?
The jugular veins carry blood from the brain. The carotid arteries carry blood to the brain.
What is a blood clot in the ateries leading to the brain?
A blood clot in an artery is an aneurysm.
