1. At which vertebral level does
the aorta bifurcate into the
common iliac arteries?
2. Between which two muscles
is the lingual artery usually
found?
3. The descending palatine
artery travels through which
canal?
4. The greatest drop in blood
pressure in the vessels is
seen:
5. If the hard palate is bleeding
adjacent to the max 1st
molar, which artery is
probably cut?
6. What are the 4 branches of
the lingual artery?
7. What are the 4 branches of
the Maxillary artery that
supply all the teeth?
8. What are the 5 arteries that
supply the palatine tonsils?
L4 = bifurcation of aorta into
common iliacs
Lingual artery found
between the hyoglossus
and the genioglossus
Descending palatine artery
travels through the
pterygopalatine canal
The greatest drop in blood
pressure in the vessels is
seen from ARTERIES to
ARTERIOLES
Arterioles control the blood
pressure though.
Greater palatine artery is
probably cut.
