Itthen passes more deeply, in relation with the superior BL OOD- VESSELS 65 constrictor of the pharynx, which separates it from thetonsil, and the transverse processes of the three uppercervical vertebrae. The artery is inclosed in a sheathin company with the internal jugular vein and the pneu-mogastric Fig. ig.—The carotid region and the chief structures (Campbell). Notethe relation of the internal jugular vein, the common carotid artery, and thepneumogastric nerve. The petrous portion of the internal carotid is inclosedin the carotid canal in the petrous portion of the temporalbone. The cavernous portion is inclosed by the cavernoussinus, and begins just above the middle lacerated fora-men within the brain 66 APPLIED ANATOMY The intracranial portion begins at a point where theartery passes through the upper wall of the cavernoussinus, and gives off the terminal branches. The cervical portion of the internal carotid arteryseldom gives off any branches. The petrous portion gives off the tympanic branch. The branches of the cavernous portion are: Meningeal,pituitary, and cavernous. The branches of the intracranial portion are: Ophthal-mic, anterior cerebral, middle cerebral. The ophthalmic artery is the largest branch of theinternal carotid. It passes through the optic forame
