Arterial Supply of Face
Anatomy / Head and Neck / Face
Last Updated: 6th November 2020
Facial Artery
The facial artery, branch of the external carotid artery, is the major blood vessel supplying the face.
After arising from the external carotid artery, the facial artery passes up through the deep structures of the neck and appears at the lower border of the mandible after passing posterior to the submandibular gland. Curving around the inferior border of the mandible, just anterior to the masseter muscle, the facial artery then enters the face where it runs upwards and medially in a tortuous course. It passes along the side of the nose and terminates as the angular artery at the medial corner of the eye.
Transverse Facial Artery
Another contributor to the vascular supply of the face is the transverse facial artery, which arises from the superficial temporal artery within the substance of the parotid gland.
Superficial Temporal Artery
The superficial temporal artery is the smaller of the two terminal branches of the external carotid artery; it passes superiorly, just anterior to the ear, divides into anterior and posterior branches and supplies almost the entire lateral aspect of the scalp.
