Head blood vessels, illustration. Seventeen veins and eighteen arteries and their branches are labelled here, showing the right-hand side of the head. The same blood vessels are present on the other side of the head. The major artery supplying each side of the head is the common carotid artery, which divides into the internal and external carotid arteries. The major veins draining blood from each side of the head are the internal jugular vein and the external jugular vein.
