Cervical arteries are blood vessels located in the neck that supply oxygen-rich blood to the head and brain. The main cervical arteries include the common carotid arteries, which branch into the internal carotid arteries supplying the brain, and the external carotid arteries, which supply the face and neck. These arteries play a crucial role in maintaining proper blood flow to vital areas. Any blockage or narrowing in the cervical arteries can lead to serious health issues, such as stroke or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), highlighting the importance of cardiovascular health.
