Branches of the External Carotid Artery

Branches of the External Carotid Artery

Mnemonics always help when it comes to memorizing anatomy! The following sentence may help with the anatomy of the external carotid artery, the main source of blood supply to the structures of the head and neck. The external carotid itself arises from the common carotid artery which arises from the aortic arch, directly on the left and as a branch of the brachiocephalic trunk on the right.

In German we have a different mnemonic for the external carotid artery: Theo Lingen fabriziert phantastisch starke Ochsenschwanzsuppe aus toten Mäusen. Theo Lingen makes fantastically strong oxtail soup out of dead mice. It works very well 😂
