The supratrochlear artery (or frontal artery) is one of the terminal branches of the ophthalmic artery. It arises within the orbit. [1] [2] It exits the orbit alongside the supratrochlear nerve. It contributes arterial supply to the skin, muscles and pericranium of the forehead. [3]
It exits the orbit through the supratrochlear notch or foramen. [3] It then ascends onto the forehead beneath the corrugator supercilii muscle and frontalis muscle. It finally divides into sensory branches. [citation needed] The supratrochlear nerve travels with the supratrochlear artery, a branch of the ophthalmic artery. [2]
The ophthalmic artery (OA) is an artery of the head. It is the first branch of the internal carotid artery distal to the carotid sinus . Branches of the ophthalmic artery supply all the structures in the orbit around the eye , as well as some structures in the nose , face , and meninges .
The perfusion of the paramedian forehead flap comes from three sources: randomly, through the frontalis muscle and through the supratrochlear artery. [1] Because the forehead flap is an axial flap with a pedicle containing its dominant vessel, the pedicle can safely be narrowed to 1 to 1.2 cm. [1]

The supraorbital artery is a branch of the ophthalmic branch of the internal carotid artery. external carotid
It is supplied by the supraorbital artery, the supratrochlear artery, and the occipital artery. It is innervated by the facial nerve. In humans, the occipitofrontalis helps to create facial expressions.

The frontalis muscle (from Latin 'frontal muscle') is a muscle which covers parts of the forehead of the skull.Some sources consider the frontalis muscle to be a distinct muscle.
