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:
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 auriculotemporal nerve is a sensory branch of the mandibular nerve (CN V 3) that runs with the superficial temporal artery and vein, and provides sensory innervation to parts of the external ear, scalp, and temporomandibular joint. The nerve also conveys post-ganglionic parasympathetic fibres from the otic ganglion to the parotid gland. [1]

The superficial layer then attaches to the lateral aspect of the superior border of the arch, and the deep layer to its medial aspect. [1]: 357 The space between the two layers is occupied by adipose tissue and contains a branch of the superficial temporal artery, and the zygomaticotemporal nerve. [1]: 357
The supraorbital artery is a branch of the ophthalmic branch of the internal carotid artery. external carotid the superficial temporal artery gives off frontal and parietal branches to supply much of the scalp; the occipital artery which runs posteriorly to supply much of the posterior aspect of the scalp
The superficial temporal artery, a branch of the external carotid artery, travels underneath the anterior auricular muscle to supply the auricle of the outer ear. [1]
