The parietal branch of the superficial temporal artery (posterior temporal) is a small artery in the head.It is larger than the frontal branch and curves upward and backward on the side of the head, lying superficial to the temporal fascia; it joins with its fellow of the opposite side, and with the posterior auricular and occipital arteries.
The anterior auricular branches of the superficial temporal artery are distributed to the anterior portion of the auricula, the lobule, and part of the external meatus, anastomosing with the posterior auricular. They supply the external acoustic meatus and the visible part of the ear. Arterial vascular pattern of the auricle:
greater palatine artery; lesser palatine arteries; Infraorbital artery. orbital branches; anterior superior alveolar arteries; Posterior superior alveolar artery; branches to alveolar canals; branches to gingiva; Pharyngeal artery; Artery of pterygoid canal; Superficial temporal artery.

Temporal artery may refer to: Deep temporal arteries, two in number, anterior and posterior, ascend between the temporalis and the pericranium; Middle temporal artery, arises immediately above the zygomatic arch; Superficial temporal artery, a major artery of the head
The temporal fascia (or deep temporal fascia [1]: 357 ) is a fascia of the head that covers the temporalis muscle and structures situated superior to the zygomatic arch. [2] The fascia is attached superiorly at the superior temporal line; inferiorly, it splits into two layers at the superior border of the zygomatic arch. The superficial layer ...
