Arteries of head and neck |
COMMON CAROTID, EXTERNAL CAROTID: Anterior: superior thyroid (superior laryngeal) - lingual (sublingual)
facial: cervical branches (ascending palatine - tonsillar - submental - glandular) - facial branches (inferior labial - superior labial - lateral nasal - angular)
Posterior and ascending: occipital - posterior auricular (stylomastoid) - ascending pharyngeal (meningeal branches)
Terminal, superficial temporal: transverse facial - middle temporal (zygomaticoörbital) - anterior auricular - frontal - parietal
Terminal, maxillary 1st part: anterior tympanic - deep auricular - middle meningeal (superior tympanic) - accessory meningeal - inferior alveolar (mylohyoid)
Terminal, maxillary 2nd part: deep temporal - pterygoid branches - masseteric - buccal
Terminal, maxillary 3rd part: posterior superior alveolar - infraorbital (anterior superior alveolar) - descending palatine - artery of the pterygoid canal - sphenopalatine
INTERNAL CAROTID: cervical portion - petrous portion (Vidian, caroticotympanic) - cavernous portion (ophthalmic)
orbital group: lacrimal - supraorbital - posterior ethmoidal - anterior ethmoidal - medial palpebral - supratrochlear - dorsal nasal - ocular group: central retinal - ciliary (short posterior, long posterior, anterior) - superior hypophysial - inferior hypophyseal
cerebral portion: anterior cerebral - anterior communicating - middle cerebral - posterior communicating - anterior choroidal - circle of Willis
SUBCLAVIAN: vertebral: meningeal branches - posterior spinal - anterior spinal - posterior inferior cerebellar - basilar (pontine - labyrinthine - anterior inferior cerebellar - superior cerebellar - posterior cerebral)
thyrocervical trunk: inferior thyroid (inferior laryngeal, tracheal, esophageal, ascending cervical) - suprascapular - transverse cervical - dorsal scapular
