The German cockroach will eat almost anything, but is particularly attracted to fermented foods and beverage residues (beer spills). If water is present, adults can live about a month without food, but young nymphs will die of starvation within 10 days. Without food or water, the adults die in less than two weeks.
The common carotid arteries split into two main branches â the internal carotid artery and the external carotid artery. The external carotid artery is the only division of the common carotid that gives branches to the neck region and supplies the external structures of the head and face.
These arteries fuse together and form the basilar artery which supplies blood to the back of the brain. The blood travelling from the back of the head through the basilar artery and the blood traveling from the front of the head through the internal carotid arteries meet at the circle of Willis.
