Artery Movable

In human anatomy, the movable artery (Latin a. septi mobilis, from Latin septum - septum and Latin mobilis - movable) is an artery that passes through the anterior part of the nasal septum. It supplies blood to the mucous membrane and cartilage of the nose.

The mobile artery is a branch of the external carotid artery and is located on the front of the nasal septum, between the nasal and maxillary arteries. It has a length of about 1.5 cm and a diameter of about 0.2 cm.

The anterior part of the nasal septum consists of several layers of tissue: mucous membrane, cartilage tissue and bone tissue. The mobile artery passes through the mucous membrane, then through the cartilage tissue and, finally, through the bone tissue of the nasal septum.

The main functions of the mobile artery are to provide blood supply to the mucous membrane and cartilage of the nose. In addition, it can participate in the blood supply to other tissues and organs, such as the frontal lobe of the brain and the eyeball.

Disturbances in the functioning of the mobile artery can lead to various diseases of the nose, including sinusitis, rhinitis and other infections. Treatment of such diseases may include surgery aimed at restoring normal blood flow to the mobile artery and its branches.

Thus, the mobile artery plays an important role in ensuring the normal functioning of the nose and other organs of the head and neck. Its violations can lead to serious illnesses and require timely treatment.

Movable arteries are synonyms for the term

"A. parts of the nasal septum." This type of artery arises from

proximal end of the common transverse artery of the face and ascends

into the anterior part of the nasal septum along the free edge of its cartilage.

The visceral layer of the first third of the Heiliar duct contains endo-

crinal tissue of the facial glands (bushes or acinous sweat glands

glands). Vascularizing it, the mobile artery gives off branches to the lacrimal

outlet, into the tympanic membrane, anterior ethmoid bone

(on the medial wall), into the occipital bone. In the upper third of the cavity

During its course, the artery almost always branches into the lacrimal openings. Besides that-
