MAXILLARY ARTERY
ANTERIOR TYMPANIC ARTERY |
3. Anterior tympanic artery: enters the petrotympanic fissure to supply the
tympanic cavity and tympanic membrane |
|
|
MAXILLARY ARTERY
MIDDLE MENINGEAL ARTERY |
4. Middle meningeal artery: ascends deep to the lateral pterygoid and
pierces the auriculotemporal nerve; enters the skull through foramen spinosum and supplies the skull and cranial dura mater |
|
|
MAXILLARY ARTERY
ACCESSORY MENINGEAL ARTERY |
5. Accessory meningeal artery: ascends deep to the lateral pterygoid, an-
terior to the middle meningeal artery; traverses foramen ovale and sup- plies the trigeminal ganglion and cranial dura mater |
|
|
MAXILLARY ARTERY
INFERIOR ALVEOLAR ARTERY |
6. Inferior alveolar artery: before entering the mandibular foramen with
the inferior alveolar nerve, it gives off the mylohyoid artery, which courses with the nerve to the mylohyoid; after entering the mandibular foramen, it traverses the mandibular canal, supplies the lower teeth and gums, and gives off the mental artery, which exits the mental foramen with the mental nerve |
|
|
MAXILLARY ARTERY
MASSETERIC ARTERY |
7. Masseteric artery: passes through the mandibular notch with the mas-
seteric nerve and supplies the masseter |
|
|
MAXILLARY ARTERY
ANT/POS DEEP TEMPORAL ARTERIES |
8. Anterior and posterior deep temporal arteries: ascend in the temporal
fossa with the anterior and posterior deep temporal nerves, respectively, and supply the temporalis |
|
|
MAXILLARY ARTERY
PTERYGOID ARTERIES |
9. Pterygoid arteries: supply the medial and lateral pterygoids
|
|
|
MAXILLARY ARTERY
BUCCAL ARTERY |
10. Buccal artery: courses anteriorly with the buccal nerve and supplies the
mucosa and skin of the cheek |
|
|
MAXILLARY ARTERY
POSTERIOR SUPERIOR ALVEOLAR ARTERY |
11. Posterior superior alveolar artery: arises as the maxillary artery enters
the pterygomaxillary fissure; its branches enter the alveolar foramina with branches of the posterior superior alveolar nerve and supply the upper molars and premolars |
|
|
MAXILLARY ARTERY
INFRAORBITAL ARTERY |
12. Infraorbital artery: enters the orbit through the inferior orbital fissure
and courses anteriorly within the infraorbital groove and infraorbital canal with the infraorbital nerve; gives off anterior superior alveolar arteries to the upper canine and incisors and then emerges through the infraorbital foramen to supply the face |
|
|
MAXILLARY ARTERY
DESCENDING PALATINE ARTERY (TERMINAL BRANCH) |
13. Descending palatine artery (terminal branch): leaves the pterygopalatine
fossa and descends within the greater palatine canal; divides into the greater and lesser palatine arteries, which emerge through the greater and lesser palatine foramina to supply the hard and soft palates, respec- tively |
