  2. Middle temporal artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_temporal_artery

    In anatomy, the middle temporal artery is a major artery which arises immediately above the zygomatic arch, and, perforating the temporal fascia, gives branches to the temporalis, anastomosing with the deep temporal branches of the internal maxillary.

  3. Cerebral arteries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_arteries

    The three main arteries are the: Anterior cerebral artery (ACA), which supplies blood to the medial portion of the brain, including the superior parts of the frontal and anterior parietal lobes [1] Middle cerebral artery (MCA), which supplies blood to the majority of the lateral portion of the brain, including the temporal and lateral-parietal ...

  4. Deep temporal arteries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_temporal_arteries

    The deep temporal arteries anastomose with the middle temporal artery. The anterior artery communicates with the lacrimal artery [1] by means of small branches which perforate the zygomatic bone and greater wing of the sphenoid bone. It may also communicate with the ophthalmic artery, a branch of the internal carotid artery. [1]

  5. Middle cerebral artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_cerebral_artery

    Anterior temporal: This artery typically arises from the proximal MCA trunk and extends in the similar fashion as the temporopolar artery and vascularizes the same regions. Middle temporal: This artery extends from the Sylvian fissure opposite to the inferior frontal gyrus and supplies superior and middle portions of the middle temporal lobe ...

  7. Zygomatico-orbital artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygomatico-orbital_artery

    The middle temporal artery occasionally gives off a zygomatico-orbital branch, which runs along the upper border of the zygomatic arch, between the two layers of the temporal fascia, to the lateral angle of the orbit.

  8. Middle meningeal artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_meningeal_artery

    The middle meningeal artery is the largest of the three (paired) arteries that supply the meninges, the others being the anterior meningeal artery and the posterior meningeal artery. The anterior branch of the middle meningeal artery runs beneath the pterion. It is vulnerable to injury at this point, where the skull is thin. Rupture of the ...

  9. Infratemporal fossa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infratemporal_fossa

    It is connected to the middle cranial fossa by the foramen ovale and the foramen spinosum. It is connected to the temporal fossa, which lies deep to zygomatic arch. It is connected to the pterygopalatine fossa through the pterygomaxillary fissure. It is connected to the orbit through the inferior orbital fissure.
