Middle temporal artery

Index Middle temporal artery

The middle temporal artery 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. [1]

7 relations: Maxillary artery, Orbit, Superficial temporal artery, Temporal fascia, Temporal muscle, Zygomatic arch, Zygomatico-orbital artery.

Maxillary artery

The maxillary artery supplies deep structures of the face.

Orbit

In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved trajectory of an object, such as the trajectory of a planet around a star or a natural satellite around a planet.

Superficial temporal artery

In human anatomy, the superficial temporal artery is a major artery of the head.

Temporal fascia

The temporal fascia covers the Temporalis muscle.

Temporal muscle

The temporal muscle, also known as the temporalis, is one of the muscles of mastication.

Zygomatic arch

The zygomatic arch, or cheek bone, is formed by the zygomatic process of the temporal bone (a bone extending forward from the side of the skull, over the opening of the ear) and the temporal process of the zygomatic bone (the side of the cheekbone), the two being united by an oblique suture (zygomaticotemporal suture); the tendon of the temporalis passes medial to the arch to gain insertion into the coronoid process of the mandible.

Zygomatico-orbital artery

The middle temporal artery occasionally gives off a zygomatico-orbital branch, which runs along the upper border of the zygomatic arch, between the two layers of the temporal fascia, to the lateral angle of the orbit.
