The German cockroach will eat almost anything, but is particularly attracted to fermented foods and beverage residues (beer spills).

The common carotid arteries split into two main branches â the internal carotid artery and the external carotid artery. The external carotid artery is the only division of the common carotid that gives branches to the neck region and supplies the external structures of the head and face.
The blood supply to most of the internal capsule comes from the lenticulostriate arteries. These small arteries originate from the first portion of the middle cerebral artery. Two other important arteries also supply portions of the internal capsule: the anterior choroidal artery and the recurrent artery of Heubner. The anterior choroidal artery is a branch of the internal carotid. It supplies the inferior portion of the posterior limb. The recurrent artery of Heubner is a branch of the anterior cerebral artery. It supplies the inferior portions of the anterior limb and the genu.
