Which arteries are responsible for supplying blood to the head?

Submental arteries
Common carotid arteries
Facial arteries
Angular arteries

The correct answer is: Common carotid arteries

The common carotid arteries are indeed responsible for supplying blood to the head. They are major arteries located on each side of the neck and branch into the external and internal carotid arteries. The external carotid artery primarily supplies blood to the face and neck, while the internal carotid artery supplies blood to the brain. Understanding the role of the common carotid arteries is essential for many esthetic procedures, as they are critical in ensuring adequate blood flow, which in turn supports healthy skin and overall appearance. The other choices, while they do relate to blood supply in the head region, are branches or specific routes that derive from the common carotid arteries. Thus, they do not serve as the primary sources of blood supply to the entire area.
