ARTERIAL SUPPLY Flashcards
3 branches of arch of aorta
Brachiocephalic
Left subclavian
Left cca
Blood passing thru arteries
Oxygenated blood
Branches of brachiocephalic
Right subclavian
Right cca
Vertebral artery a branch of
Subclavian artery
Blood supply of head and neck
R and l cca
Vertebral artery
Vertebral artery passes thru
Foramen transversarium
Runs upward in the neck to the upper border of the thyroid cartilage
Cca
Cca divides into
Eca
Ica
Level of bifurcation of cca
Upper border of thyroid cartilage
Sinus present in ica
Carotid sinus
Provides major blood supply for the face and mouth
Eca
3 major branches of eca
Maxillary
Facial
Sup temporal
Other branches of eca
Superior thyroid Lingual Ascending pharyngeal Occipital Posterior auricular
Largest of the 3 terminal branches of eca
Maxillary artery
Arises behind the angle of the mandible
Supplies the deep struc of the face
Maxillary artery
Major branches of maxillary artery
Infraorbital
Inferior alveolar
Post superior alveolar
Give branches to anterior and middle superior alveolar arteries
Infraorbital artery
Infraorbital artery supplies the
Max incisors
Cuspid teeth
Maxillary sinus
Posterior superior alveolar artery supplies
Maxillary molars
Premolars
Gingiva
Depends close to the medial surface of the mandibular ramus to the mandibular foramen
Inferior alveolar artery
Inf alveolar artery passes thru the
Mandibular foramen
Gives off the mylohyoid branch which supplies tissues in the floor of mouth
Inf alveolar artery
Enters the face at the inferior border of the mandible
Facial artery
Passes forward and upward across the CHEEK ➡️ angle of the MOUTH ➡️ sides of the NOSE and ends at the MEDIAL CANTHUS or INNER CORNER OF THE EYE
Facial artery
