  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. Squamous part of temporal bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squamous_part_of_temporal_bone

    Its outer surface is smooth and convex; it affords attachment to the temporal muscle, and forms part of the temporal fossa; on its hinder part is a vertical groove for the middle temporal artery. A curved line, the temporal line, or supramastoid crest, runs backward and upward across its posterior part; it serves for the attachment of the ...

  4. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foramen_spinosum

    A groove for the middle meningeal artery and vein extends anterolaterally from the foramen. [1]: ... but in parts of the temporal bone such as the squamous part, ...

  6. Parietal bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_bone

    the middle portion is arched, bevelled at the expense of the outer surface, and overlapped by the squama of the temporal; the posterior part is thick and serrated for articulation with the mastoid portion of the temporal. The occipital border, deeply denticulated (finely toothed), articulates with the occipital bone, forming half of the ...

  7. 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]

  8. Suprameatal triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suprameatal_triangle

    In the temporal bone, between the posterior wall of the external acoustic meatus and the posterior root of the zygomatic process is the area called the suprameatal triangle, suprameatal pit, mastoid fossa, foveola suprameatica, or Macewen's triangle, through which an instrument may be pushed into the mastoid antrum.

  9. Mastoid part of the temporal bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastoid_part_of_the...

    On the medial side of the process is a deep groove, the mastoid notch, for the attachment of the digastric muscle; medial to this is a shallow furrow, the occipital groove, which lodges the occipital artery. The facial nerve passes close to the mastoid process. [2]
