- 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 Kiesselbachs plexus and also contributes to Woodruffs 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 Kiesselbachs 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 temporal arteritis (giant cell arteritis)
