The internal carotid artery is major paired artery one on each side of the head and neck in human anatomy. They arise from the common carotid arteries where these bifurcate into the internal and external carotid arteries; the internal carotid artery supplies the brain while the external carotid nourishes other portions of the head such as face scalp skull and meninges.
