  26. Internal thoracic a.
    branches off subclavian a. - is inside thorax but outside pleura; gives rise to anterior intercostals. Splits into superior epigastric and musculophrenic
  27. Branches of external carotid a.

  29. Ascending pharyngeal a.
    supplies: nasopharynx
  30. Lingual a.
    Supplies: muscles of tongue
  31. Facial a.
    • Only a. that crosses over mandible; anterior to masseter
    • Supplies:
    • most muscles of face
    • platysma
    • face below eyes
  32. Occipital a.
    Crosses SCM to supply back of head
  33. Posterior Auricular a.
