This document summarizes the arterial supply of the head and neck region. It describes the common carotid artery, external carotid artery, and internal carotid artery. The external carotid artery gives off numerous branches that supply the face and neck, such as the lingual, facial, maxillary, and occipital arteries. The internal carotid artery supplies the brain after dividing into the anterior and middle cerebral arteries. The anatomy of these arteries and their branches is important for surgeries in the head and neck region to avoid injury.

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

3. Introduction
The arteries of head and neck apart from few exceptions are supplied by
branches of external carotid artery
Only nasal cavity and upper part of the face is supplied by branches of internal
carotid artery
External carotid artery is termed as facial artery
Internal carotid artery is cerebral artery
4. Common Carotid Artery
On right side arises from brachiocephalic artery
On left side arises directly from aortic arch.
Divides at upper border of thyroid cartilage.
6. External Carotid Artery
Arises under the cover of sternocleidomastoid muscle
Terminates in the parotid gland behind the neck of mandible.
Covered by investing layer of deep cervical fascia; platysma; subcutaneous
tissue and skin.
It is superficially located shortly after its origin
8. Ligation of ECA
Can be done at two sites
Inthecarotidtriangle-atitsoriginfromthe commoncarotid(abovetheoriginofsuperior thyroidartery)
Intheretromandibularfossa,ligated behindtheangleofmandible(controlsthe haemorrhagefromoneofthe
branchesof maxillaryartery)
10. Superior thyroid artery
Arises from ECA at or immediately above the bifurcation of common carotid
After reaching thyroid gland divides into anterior and posterior branch
Aside from muscular branch it also gives 2 extraglandular branches : laryngeal branch
and cricothyroid artery
11. Lingual artery
Lingual Artery arises from the ECA opposite the tip of greater cornu of the
hyoid bone.
Frequently have common origin with facial artery.
After origin courses horizontally forward to posterior border of hypoglossal
muscle.
12. Branches of Lingual Artery
SuprahyoidArtery
DorsalLingual Artery
Deep LingualArtery
Sublingual Artery
13. Ligation of lingual artery
Incision – circling the posterior pole of submandibular gland.
Skin, platysma, deep fascia incised, submandibular is gland exposed and lifted, tendon of
digastric becomes visible.
Digastric tendon pulled downwards –enlarges the digastric triangle, hyoglossus muscle
visible.
Muscle divided bluntly, in the gap of its vertical fibers lingual artery found & ligated.
14. Facial Artery
Arises at ECA just below the posterior belly of digastric muscle.
It has two parts, cervical part in the neck and facial part.
It enters the face by winding around the base of the mandible at
the anteroinferior angle of masseter muscle.
15. Branches of facial artery
Cervical Part Supply Facial part Supply
1. Ascending palatine
artery
It supplies to root of tongue
& tonsil.
1. Superior labial- supplies to upper lip &
antero-inferior part of
nasal septum.
2. Tonsillarartery 2. Inferior labial-
supplies to lower lip.
3 Submentalartery
it is a large artery which
accompanies the mylohyoid
nerve, and supplies the
submental triangle and sub
lingual salivarygland.
3 .Lateral nasal
to the ala & dorsum of
nose.
4. Glandularbranches
supplies submandibular
salivary gland and submental
lymphnodes.
4. Angular supplies the lacrimal sac
and orbicularis oculi.
16. Applied anatomy of facial nerve
Facial Artery compression:
Applying pressure to the facial artery as it passes over the inferior border of the mandible
just anterior to the angle will diminish blood flow to that side.
In mandibular 1st molar region care must be taken not to injure the facial artery while
extending the vertical incision down the vestibule during surgical extraction of mandibular
impaction. So it is recommended that vertical incision should be started from the vestibule in
upward direction.
17. Occipital artery
Takes origin at same level as facial artery
Lower or higher origin is not rare
Gives its branches in posterior part of the scalp.
18. Posterior auricular artery
Arises in retromandibular fossa just above stylohyoid muscle.
Distributes its branches partly to the inner ear and partly to adjacent area of
scalp.
A small branch of this artery : stylomastoid artery contribute to supply of
tympanic cavity.
19. Ascending Pharyngeal Artery
Only medial branch of ECA
Arises at medial or posteromedial wall of ECA just above the division of ECA.
20. Superficial Temporal Artery
Continues the course of ECA in retromandibular fossa and ascending vertically crosses the
posterior root of zygomatic arch
Its pulse can be felt Infront of outer ear as it is superficial and covered only by superficial fascia
and skin.
21. Maxillary artery
Arises from ECA, just below the level of mandibular neck embedded in parotid
gland.
Arises at right angle of ECA, is phylogenetically and embryologically
continuation of ECA.
22. Parts of maxillary artery
First part (mandibular part): extends from neck of the mandible to the sphenomandibular
ligament. Runs along the lower border of lateral pterygoid.
Second part (pterygoid part): runs upwards and forwards either superficial or deep to the lower
head of the lateral pterygoid muscle.
Third part : In relation to posterior surface of maxilla.
Forth part (pterygopalatine part): passes between the two heads of lateral pterygoid muscle
and the enters pterygopalatine fossa by passing through the pterygo-maxillary fissure.
24. Applied Anatomy of maxillary
artery
Surgeries involving condyle of mandible-Avoid injury to maxillary artery as it lies medial
to condyle.
Following a blow on the pterion region, the anterior branch of middle meningeal artery is often
torn resulting in formation of extradural hematoma which may compress the motor area
(precentral gyrus) of cerebral cortex leading to paralysis of opposite half of the body.
25. Pterygoid Plexus
The pterygoid venous plexus is a venous network that surrounds the pterygoid
segment of the maxillary artery. It is located within the infratemporal fossa, lying
partly between temporal and lateral pterygoid muscle, and partly between the
lateral and medial pterygoid muscles.
The function of the pterygoid venous plexus is to collect the blood from
the palate, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx, and auditory tube
26. Internal Carotid Artery
Origin: It begins at the upper border of the lamina of thyroid cartilage (level of disc between C3
and c4 vertebra).
Ascends from its origin along the lateral wall of pharynx to base of skull.
Divided into cervical and cranial part with cervical part being branchless.
Termination: It terminates in the cranial cavity at the base of brain by dividing into its terminal
branches viz. anterior and middle cerebral arteries.
30. Applied anatomy of ICA
The internal carotid arteries are of vital importance for blood supply to the brain. Severe
stenosis of the internal carotid artery is a significant cause of stroke and it is one of the
most common causes of death worldwide and the most common cause of long-term
disability.
The posterior communicating branch of internal carotid artery connects it with the
posterior cerebral artery, a branch of vertebrobasilar system and forms the Circle of
Willis. This arterial circle forms an important collateral circulation to brain in the
event of obstruction
