    • * Provides blood to the dura mater, meninges, and venous sinuses.

 

  • Deep Temporal Arteries (Anterior & Posterior)

    • * Extend superiorly to reach the temporalis muscle on the side of the skull.
    • * Nourish the temporalis muscle, crucial for jaw elevation and chewing movements.

 

 

  • Pterygoid Branches

    • * Numerous smaller branches arise along the maxillary artery.
    • * Extend to the medial and lateral pterygoid muscles.
    • * Deliver blood to both pterygoid muscles, involved in various jaw movements and swallowing.

 

  • Infraorbital Artery

    • * Continues downward through the inferior orbital fissure.
    • * Exits the infratemporal fossa and enters the orbit.
    • * Provides blood to the lower eyelid, eyeball, and infraorbital structures.

 

  • Sphenopalatine Artery

    • * Passes medially through the sphenopalatine foramen.
    • * Exits the infratemporal fossa and enters the nasal cavity.
