Diseases of the carotid artery Constriction (stenosis) or occlusion of the arteries supplying the brain If stenosis of an artery occurs due to arteriosclerosis, the blood supply to this vessel is reduced and thus the supply of oxygen decreases. If this constriction develops very slowly, i.e. chronically, a collateral circulation can develop via the other … Diseases of the carotid artery | Carotid artery anatomy and function

It is part of the sympathetic autonomic nervous system and primarily influences cardiac function. Certain drugs and medications can enhance (sympathomimetics) or attenuate (sympatholytics) its effects. What is dre superior cardiac nerve? The human body has … Superior Cardiac Nerve: Structure, Function & Diseases
Stenosis of the carotid artery A narrowing or blockage of a part of the internal carotid artery can usually occur for two reasons. Either a blood clot has detached and led to an embolism (vascular occlusion) or the vessel has undergone arteriosclerotic changes and over time a thrombus has formed at this site. Most blood … Stenosis of the carotid artery | Carotid artery
