Abstract

Two vascular systems, external carotid and stapedial, act independently and together to supply the non-neural tissues of the head and neck. In this chapter, we shall first discuss how the development and breakdown of the aortic arch system create the external carotid artery (ECA) and its branches. We shall also see how a remnant of the second aortic arch artery creates the stem for the stapedial system, a critical evolutionary event required for the development of the orbit and jaws. We will next examine the ECA system in detail, including the stapedial contribution to its most distal component, the internal maxilla-mandibular artery, and its branches. We shall conclude with a similar discussion of the stapedial supply to the meninges and orbit. The learning objectives of this chapter are similar to those of Chap. 6.
