- Maxillary artery gives off various branches including; MMA, which supplies the dura mater / periosteum; sphenopalatine artery (which anastomosis with branches of ophthalmic and facial artery to form Kiesselbach plexus and also contributes to Woodruff plexus – cause of posterior nosebleeds)
- The meningeal branch of the ascending pharyngeal artery passes through the foramen lacerum, along with emissary veins

- Facial artery courses over mandible anterior to the insertion of the masseter muscle to supply the oral, nasal, and buccal regions; anterior nosebleeds (in Kiesselbach plexus) are commonly due to injuries to superior labial artery
- The occipital artery arises opposite the facial artery and courses posteriorly to supply the SCM and posterior scalp
- The superficial temporal artery can characteristically get inflamed in giant cell arteritis (temporal arteritis)
- This mnemonic was recently updated from "Some Angry Ladies Fight Off PMS" to "Some Attendings Like Freaking Out Poor Medical Students" (Oct 2025)
