Distribution of the Carotids—Vertebral—Circle of Willis.—The common Ca- rotid Arteries, one on each side of the neck, pass upwards from the innominata and sub- clavian nearly as far as the angle of the jaw, when they divide into the internal and external carotids, the Litter furnishing blood to the face, and the former to the brain and back part of the head. The Vertebral Artery is also giv- en off from the sub-clavian, which, passing backward, en- ters the spinal column at the sixth cervical vertebra, and Deep-Seated Palmar Arch. 9, The Anc FlG.
