Common carotid artery is located in which triangle?
Carotid
What bifurcates into two arteries at the upper level of the thyroid cartilage?
Common carotid (ext an int)
What does the carotid body do?
Sensitive to reduced oxygen tension in the blood, or increased carbon dioxide tension - receptors reflexly increase pulse rate, blood pressure, and deapth and rate of respiration
What innervates the carotid body?
CN X, and Sympathetic fibers
What does the Carotid Sinus do?
Baroreceptors sense arterial blood pressure
Innervation of the Carotid Sinus?
Primarily CN IX, also X and sympathetics

Superior Thyroid Artery
What artery does the superior laryngeal branch off?
Superior Thyroid
What nerve does the superior laryngeal artery course with?

This artery courses deep to the posterior digastric and hyoglossus and supplies the tongue?
Lingual Artery
The facial artery runs posterior or anterior to the digastric (posterior belly)?
Posterior (sigmoid course)
Which aspect of the ECA does the Ascending Pharyngeal come off from?
Medial Aspect
