A member asked:
What is the meaning of "mid common carotid artery?"
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anatomy: Simply put it's the middle portion of the common carotid artery which originates generally from the aortic arch within the chest and runs in your neck on the way to the brain. The pulse most people feel in their neck is the distal common carotid artery, the last most portion of this vessel, before it splits. The mid portion cannot typically be felt because it would be behind the collar bone.
