  1. (L): left carotid artery, (R): right carotid artery, mandi: mandible, vA: bifurcation between ICA and ECA, vB: bifurcation between LA and ECA, vC: bifurcation between FA and ECA, vD: bifurcation between OA and ECA, vE: bifurcation between MA and ECA. Cervical vertebrae 1–4 are indicated by C1–C4, respectively.
