BRANCHES DISTRIBUTION
BRANCHES DISTRIBUTION
During injury of the face bleeding from the facial artery can be
stopped by compressing the artery against the lower border of
mandible. The pulsation of the artery can be felt along the lower
border of the mandible near the anteroinferior angle of masseter
muscle.
In the lips branches of the facial artery are found nearer to the
mucous membrane than to the skin . Hence injuries caused by the
teeth on the mucous membrane of the mouth may develop hidden
hematomas .
CIRCLE OF WILLIS:
• The circle of Willis (also called Willis' circle, loop of Willis,
cerebral arterial circle, and Willis polygon) is a circulatory
anastomosis that supplies blood to the brain and
surrounding structures. It is named after Thomas Willis
(1621–1675), an English physician.
• The circle of Willis is a part of the cerebral circulation
and is composed of the following arteries:
Retromandibular
vein
Posterior
Facial vein
auricular vein
TRIGEMINAL GANGLION
