It lies behind the facial artery and follows a less tortuous course.

The lateral edge of the mandible (facial artery).

Branches of facial artery supplying the vestibule of the nasal cavity.

Muscles supplied by the facial artery include:

LaFontaine lost bone and teeth and bled profusely from a severed facial artery.

Septal branch of the superior labial artery (from the facial artery)

The facial artery is one of the six non-terminal branches of the external carotid artery.

The submental artery is a branch of the facial artery that runs on the underside of the chin.

The muscle is innervated by the mandibular branch of the facial nerve and receives its blood supply from the facial artery.

The transverse facial artery is an artery that branches from the superficial temporal artery and runs across the face.

The greatest contribution is from the facial artery which traverses the face obliquely and terminates in the angular artery.

Facial artery-(arise from anterior aspect)

The dominant blood supply is from the submental branch of the facial artery and the venous drainage of the v. submentalis.

There is also secondary blood supply to the tongue from the tonsillar branch of the facial artery and the ascending pharyngeal artery.

Glandular branches of facial artery (rami glandulares arteriae facialis)

The lingual artery arises from the external carotid between the superior thyroid artery and facial artery.

The facial artery anastomoses with (among others) the dorsal nasal artery of the internal carotid artery.

Formerly, the term "external maxillary artery" was used to describe what is now known as the facial artery (per Terminologia anatomica.)

The external nose is supplied with blood by the facial artery, which becomes the angular artery that courses over the superomedial aspect of the nose.

It anastomoses with the masseteric branches of the external maxillary artery and with the transverse facial artery.

The ascending palatine artery is an artery in the head that branches off the facial artery and runs up the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle.

It derives its motor nerve supply from the facial nerve, and its blood supply from labial branches of the facial artery.

The pulse may also be felt when taken on an artery close to the skin, most commonly the facial artery located on the lower jaw just behind the cheek.

Blood supply comes from branches of both the internal and external carotid artery, including branches of the facial artery and maxillary artery.

The facial artery (external maxillary artery in older texts) is a branch of the external carotid artery that supplies structures of the superficial face.
