The inner ear is supplied by the anterior tympanic branch of the maxillary artery; the stylomastoid branch of the posterior auricular artery; the petrosal branch of middle meningeal artery; and the labyrinthine artery, arising from either the anterior inferior cerebellar artery or the basilar artery.
In anatomy, adnexa (plural) refers to the appendages of an organ. The term adnexa is from the Latin word adnexa (appendages). More specifically, it can refer to:
the abdominal region encompassing the stomach area; the umbilical region is located around the navel; the coxal region encompassing the lateral (side) of hips; the pubic region encompassing the area above the genitals.

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:
The inner ear (internal ear, auris interna) is the innermost part of the vertebrate ear. In vertebrates , the inner ear is mainly responsible for sound detection and balance. [ 1 ] In mammals , it consists of the bony labyrinth , a hollow cavity in the temporal bone of the skull with a system of passages comprising two main functional parts: [ 2 ]

The superior auricular muscle is a muscle above the auricle of the outer ear. It originates from the epicranial aponeurosis , and inserts into the upper part of the medial surface of the auricle. It draws the auricle upwards.
The anterior tympanic artery (glaserian artery [citation needed]) is a branch of (the mandibular part of) the maxillary artery. [1] It passes through the petrotympanic fissure [ 1 ] [ 2 ] to entre the middle ear where it contributes to the formation of the circular anastomosis around the tympanic membrane . [ 2 ]
