The greater palatine artery is a branch of the descending palatine artery ... "Anatomy diagram: 05287.011-1". Roche Lexicon - illustrated navigator. Elsevier.
the greater palatine artery, a branch of the maxillary artery, a branch of the external carotid artery. [1] [2] a septal branch of the superior labial artery, a branch of the facial artery, a branch of the external carotid artery. [1] [2] a posterior ethmoidal artery, a branch of the ophthalmic artery, a branch of the internal carotid artery. [1]
It descends through the greater palatine canal with the greater and lesser palatine branches of the pterygopalatine ganglion, and, emerging from the greater palatine foramen, runs forward in a groove on the medial side of the alveolar border of the hard palate to the incisive canal; the terminal branch of the artery passes upward through this canal to anastomose with the sphenopalatine artery.
The maxillary artery, the larger of the two terminal branches of the external carotid artery, arises behind the neck of the mandible, and is at first imbedded in the substance of the parotid gland; it passes forward between the ramus of the mandible and the sphenomandibular ligament, and then runs, either superficial or deep to the lateral pterygoid muscle, to the pterygopalatine fossa.
Palatine arteries can refer to: Ascending palatine artery (arteria palatina ascendens) Descending palatine artery (arteria palatina descendens) Greater palatine artery (arteria palatina major) Lesser palatine arteries (arteriae palatinae minores)

The two incisive canals usually (in 60% of individuals) have a characteristic Y-shaped or V-shaped morphology: above, each incisive canal opens into the nasal cavity on either side of the nasal septum as the nasal foramina; below, the two incisive canals converge medially to open into the oral cavity at midline at the incisive fossa [1] as several incisive foramina.
The greater palatine canal starts on the inferior aspect of the pterygopalatine fossa. It goes through the maxilla and palatine bones to reach the palate, ending at the greater palatine foramen. From this canal, accessory canals branch off; these are known as the lesser palatine canals .
