Open in App
Solution

Arteries:

They are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to different parts of the body.

Explanation:

  1. The brain receives blood from two types of arteries - internal carotid arteries and vertebral arteries.
  2. When the common carotid arteries split in two in the neck, the internal carotid arteries emerge.
  3. These arteries start in the neck and ascend to the cranium.
  4. Both vertebral arteries and internal carotid arteries are paired arteries.
