The maxillary artery arises from the external carotid artery and divides into three parts by the lateral pterygoid muscle. It supplies structures of the face, upper jaw, palate, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and meninges. Its branches include the deep auricular, anterior tympanic, middle meningeal, and inferior alveolar arteries which supply the tissues of the face, ear, dura mater, and mandible.

INTRODUCTION ´ Maxillary artery is the larger terminal branch of external carotid artery given off behind the neck of the mandible ´ It has wide territory of distribution and supplies ´ External ,middle ears and auditory tube
´ The upper and lower jaws ´ The palate and root of pharynx
´ The nose and paranasal sinuses ´ The Duramater ´ The muscles of temporal and infra temporal regions.
COURSE Dissection ´ External carotid artery divides into its two terminal branches, maxillary and superficial temporal on the anteromedial surface of the parotid gland. The maxillary artery, appears in this region
The maxillary artery is divided into 3 parts by the LATERAL PTERYGOID MUSCLE 1. the first part ( mandibular part) 2. The second part (pterygoid part) 3. The third part (pterygopalatine part)
The first part(mandibular part) 1. The first (mandibular) part runs horizontally forwards, first between the neck of the mandible and the sphenomandibular ligament, below the auriculo-temporal nerve and then along the lower border of
The second part(pterygoid part) ´ The second (pterygoid) part runs upwards and forwards superficial to the lower head of the lateral pterygoid.
The third part(pterygopalatine part) ´ The third (pterygopalatine) part passes between the two heads of the lateral pterygoid and through the pterygomaxillary fissure, to enter the pterygopalatine fossa where it lies in front of the pterygopalatine ganglion
