What's the difference between carotid and parotid?
Carotid
Definition:
(n.) One of the two main arteries of the neck, by which blood is conveyed from the aorta to the head. [See Illust. of Aorta.]
(a.) Alt. of Carotidal

(13) These results clearly show the value of cardiac and neurologic surveillance of patients operated on for carotid artery stenosis.
(14) Thus, the carotid pulse tracing provides an accurate reproduction of the morphology of the pressure tracing recorded from the ascending aorta, and when calibrated by peripheral blood pressure measurement, it can be used to calculate LV pressure throughout ejection.

(20) Neuroradiological examination revealed a large aneurysm at the C1 portion of the right internal carotid artery.
Parotid
Definition:
(a.) Situated near the ear; -- applied especially to the salivary gland near the ear.
(a.) Of, pertaining to, or in the region of, the parotid gland.
(n.) The parotid gland.
Example Sentences:
(1) None of the parotid saliva samples from the alcoholic subjects had detectable bioactivity of EGF in saliva.
(2) In retrospect, this parotid disease has similarity to the sonographic finding of Sjögren's syndrome, except for the finding of cervical adenopathy, an observation not previously appreciated.
(3) The roles of Mg, K, Na, and Cl ions in the biphasic K-permeability response (86Rb release) to receptor activation in the parotid gland were investigated.
(4) A history of pain, hardness, and fixity, found in 30-50% of parotid cancers, were significant indicators of malignancy.
(5) Acini in the parotid gland of the North American mink (Mustela vision) are composed of seromucous cells that contain secretory granules of peculiar morphology.
(6) Six patients had histological evidence of a metastasis within the parotid gland, but no evidence of a primary tumour.
(7) A multiparametric analysis of the resident immune populations in the parotid, submandibular and sublingual salivary glands was done in single-cell suspensions.
(8) The strain gauge data suggested that a relation exists between masticatory force and parotid salivary flow.
(9) Clinical features such as age, duration of disease, extent of lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, or parotid swelling failed to identify those subsets of patients with lymphadenopathy at increased risk for lymphoma.
(10) However, removal of either the parasympathetic (Px) or the sympathetic (Sx) innervation to the parotid gland prior to the dietary change resulted in a partial inhibition of the increase; values for the parasympathectomized gland were 51% of those of the innervated gland, and values of the sympathectomized parotid gland were 42% of those of the innervated gland.
(11) Compared with juvenile and adult controls, a significantly greater number of "fast isoamylases" was found in the parotid saliva of children with cystic fibrosis and their healthy heterozygous parents.

(13) Findings, supported also by direct observations on humans, demonstrated that a parotid fascia proper does not exist.
(14) She also had alopecia, a generalized lymphadenopathy, digital clubbing, and bilateral parotid enlargement.
(15) Addition of ruthenium red to mitochondria isolated from brain, adrenal cortex, parotid gland and skeletal muscle inhibits further uptake of Ca2+ by these mitochondria but induces little or no net Ca2+ efflux; the further addition of Na+, however, induces rapid efflux of Ca2+.
(16) Rat parotid acinar cells dispersed by a combination of enzymatic treatments remain sensitive to adrenergic and cholinergic agonists.
