What artery supplies the chin/jaw region of the head with blood?

Ede4ka [16]

The artery that supplies the chin and jaw region of the head with blood is the facial artery which is a branch of the external carotid artery. All blood from the head arises from the common carotid artery wherein it is divided to internal carotid artery (major blood supply of the brain along with the basilar artery on the posterior side) and external carotid artery (major blood supply of the head other than the brain).

The external carotid artery has 8 major branches (from inferior to superior): (1) superior thyroid artery, (2) ascending pharyngeal artery, (3) lingual artery, (4) facial artery, (5) occipital artery, (6) posterior auricular artery, (7) maxillary artery, and (6) superficial temporal artery.

Attached is a simplified photo of the branches of the external carotid artery.

2. Productos de la nutrición animal:

- residuos orgánicos

- dióxido de carbono (CO2)

Explanation:

Los alimentos son sustancias químicas que los animales ingieren a fin de que el organismo transforme dichos compuestos en nutrientes los cuales son requieridos para la generación, el crecimiento y la reconstrucción de células y tejidos.

El oxígeno (O2) es un nutriente escencial para la vida el cual se absorbe mediante el proceso de respiración. Este proceso posibilita la absorción de otros nutrientes obtenidos a través de la alimentación.

Los residuos orgánicos representan productos de la nutrición animal los cuales se descomponen naturalmente para formar parte de la materia orgánica. En animales, los desechos órganicos son eliminados a través de los excrementos o en la orina.

El dióxido de Carbono (CO2) es un producto de la respiración. En animales, la respiración celular consume oxígeno y compuestos orgánicos con el objetivo de producir energía en forma de ATP. Como concecuencia del proceso de respiración, los animales liberan CO2 al medio ambiente.
