| internal carotid artery | <anatomy, artery> Arises from the common carotid opposite upper border of thyroid cartilage (C-4 vertebral level) and terminates in the middle cranial fossa by dividing into the anterior and middle cerebral arteries; for descriptive purposes it is divided into four parts: cervical, petrous, cavernous, and cerebral. Synonym: arteria carotis interna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal carotid nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The cephalic arterial ramus conveying postsynaptic sympathetic fibres from the superior cervical ganglion to the internal carotid artery to form the internal carotid plexus. Synonym: nervus caroticus internus. (05 Mar 2000) |
