Topic: Lingual artery


In the News (Mon 28 Dec 09)

  
  VI. The Arteries. 3a. 2. The External Carotid Artery. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
The Arteria Profunda Linguæ (ranine artery; deep lingual artery) is the terminal portion of the lingual artery; it pursues a tortuous course and runs along the under surface of the tongue, below the Longitudinalis inferior, and above the mucous membrane; it lies on the lateral side of the Genioglossus, accompanied by the lingual nerve.
alveolaris inferior; inferior dental artery) descends with the inferior alveolar nerve to the mandibular foramen on the medial surface of the ramus of the mandible.
Crossing the under surface of the sphenoid the sphenopalatine artery ends on the nasal septum as the posterior septal branches; these anastomose with the ethmoidal arteries and the septal branch of the superior labial; one branch descends in a groove on the vomer to the incisive canal and anastomoses with the descending palatine artery.

 Facial artery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The facial artery (external maxillary artery), arises in the carotid triangle from the external carotid a little above the lingual artery and, sheltered by the ramus of the mandible, passes obliquely up beneath the Digastric and stylohyoid muscles, over which it arches to enter a groove on the posterior surface of the submandibluar gland.
This vessel, both in the neck and on the face, is remarkably tortuous: in the former situation, to accommodate itself to the movements of the pharynx in deglutition; and in the latter, to the movements of the mandible, lips, and cheeks.
The anterior facial vein lies lateral to the artery, and takes a more direct course across the face, where it is separated from the artery by a considerable interval.

 External carotid artery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The external carotid artery begins opposite the upper border of the thyroid cartilage, and, taking a slightly curved course, passes upward and forward, and then inclines backward to the space behind the neck of the mandible, where it divides into the superficial temporal and internal maxillary arteries.
Medial to it are the hyoid bone, the wall of the pharynx, the superior laryngeal nerve, and a portion of the parotid gland.
Posterior to it, near its origin, is the superior laryngeal nerve; and higher up, it is separated from the internal carotid by the Styloglossus and Stylopharyngeus, the glossopharyngeal nerve, the pharyngeal branch of the vagus, and part of the parotid gland.

 TITLE: Special Situations in the Management of Tonsils and Adenoids
For the arterial blood supply for the tonsils, there are typically three arteries at the lower pole: the dorsal lingual artery anteriorly, the ascending palatine artery (a branch of the facial artery) posteriorly, and the tonsillar branch of the facial artery.
At the upper pole of the tonsil the ascending pharyngeal artery enters posteriorly, and the lesser palatine artery enters on the anterior surface.
The lingual tonsils are non-encapsulated lymphoid tissue and extend from the tongue base to the vallecula.
