Where does the vetebral artery branch off from and where does it pass through? Why is this artery important?
Subclavian artery and then passes through the transverse foramina of the cervical vertebrae and then the transverse and lateral foramina of the atlas, then uniting to form the basilar artery. It gives collateral blood supply to the brain (vertebro-basilar system)

Basilar a.
Internal carotid a.
Which artery courses through the typano-occipital fissure rostrally, through the carotid canal, loops through and then back caudally through the carotid foreman joining the arteries at the base of the skull?
Internal carotid a.

Maxillary
Superficial temporal
Which artery branches deep to the hyoglossus muscles? What does this artery course with and supply?
Lingual a.
Hypoglossal n.
Tongue
What is unique about the caudal aricular artery in 25% of dogs?
It branches off more caudally, opposite of where the linguinal artery is branching instead of more rostrally near the base fo the ear canal.
Aural hematomas, total ear canal ablations, and ear canal resection are all clinical problems that involve which arteries?
Lateral, medial, and intermediate auricular branches of the caudal aricular artery.
The deep auricular branch of the caudal aricular artery.
Which artery passes through the caudal alar foramen, through the alar canal, exits through the rostral alar foramen, enters the maxillary foramen, and exits the intraorbital canal and foramen as the infraorbital artery?
Maxillary
