The main arteries in the neck are the common carotids arising differently, one on each side (see the images below). On the right, the common carotid arises at the bifurcation of the brachiocephalic trunk behind the sternoclavicular joint; on the left, it arises from the highest point on arch of the aorta in the chest.
In anatomy, the left and right common carotid arteries are arteries that supply the head and neck with oxygenated blood; they divide in the neck to form the external and internal carotid arteries.
