[1] It gives a branch to the lacrimal sac before bifurcating into two branches: one branch anastomoses with the terminal (angular) part of the facial artery [1] and is important for the blood supply of the face; [citation ...

    [1] [2] a septal branch of the superior labial artery, a branch of the facial artery, a branch of the external carotid artery. [1] [2] a posterior ethmoidal artery, a branch of the ophthalmic artery, a branch of the internal carotid artery. [1] There is contention as whether this is truly part of Kiesselbach's plexus.

    The sphenopalatine artery passes through the sphenopalatine foramen into the cavity of the nose, at the back part of the superior meatus.Here it gives off its posterior lateral nasal branches which spread forward over the conchæ and meatuses, anastomose with the ethmoidal arteries and the nasal branches of the descending palatine, and assist in supplying the frontal, maxillary, ethmoidal, and ...

    A nosebleed (epistaxis) usually occurs in the anterior part of the nose from an area known as Kiesselbach's plexus which consists of arteries. Woodruff's plexus is a venous plexus in the posterior part and a nosebleed here accounts for only between 5 and 10 per cent of nosebleeds. Older adults are most often affected. [5]
