A

1) superior thyroid artery
2) ascending pharyngeal artery
3) lingual artery

Q

Compared to other branches of the external carotid artery, what is unique about the superior thyroid artery?

A

It dives down

49
Q

Origin of the superior laryngeal artery

A

it’s a branch of the superior thyroid artery, itself from the external carotid artery
