superior thyroid artery
lingual artery
facial artery
ascending pharyngeal
artery occipital artery
posterior auricular artery
,trace the lingual artery
-passes deep to intermediate tendon of digastric and submandibular
gland
-then medial to hypoglossus
-supply postero-inferior tongue

-branches into tonsilar artery, submittal artery, inferior and superior
labial arteries
-supplies soft palate, tonsils, submandibular and sublingual glands,
adjacent muscle and superficial face
what is a variation fo the lingual and facial arteries?
they can arise as a common trunk
