Artery Maxillary External

The external maxillary is one of the vessels of the face and is formed by the connection of the two lower vertical branches of the thyroid bone atrium. It looks like a long and narrow flat tube that passes into the infraorbital canal of the temporal bone of the head. The external maxillary artery passes along the anterior part of the marginal plate of the ethmoid bone or later the zygomatic bone, to its lateral angle. It emerges from the outer caricature wall at the level of the tragus of the auricle of the human head, and then goes along its lateral surface under the external perite salivary tube, through which it exits into the parotid peribuccal cavity.
