Abstract

The maxillary artery is the direct continuation of the external carotid artery. It can be divided into two parts by the alar foramen; the maxillary artery terminates by detaching the descending palatine and continues as the infraorbital artery. In the present work the lesser palatine artery originates from the maxillary artery and the lateral nasal artery originates from the infraorbital artery.
