(a) Identify the area of the brain supplied by the right internal carotid, and name the vessels that would supply blood to this area if there is a blockage in the right internal carotid artery. (b) Is a thrombus in the external carotid life-threatening? Why or why not?
This vessel (white arrow)
(A) is a branch of the femoral artery
