Meningeal branches of vertebral artery
About 1 pages (423 words)
The meningeal branches of vertebral artery (posterior meningeal branch ) springs from the vertebral opposite the foramen magnum , ramifies between the bone and dura mater in the cerebellar fossa , and supplies the falx cerebelli . It is frequently represented by one or two small branches. This article was originally based on an entry from a public domain edition of Gray's Anatomy .

List of arteries of head and neck
Anterior: CC /EC
superior thyroid (superior laryngeal ) - lingual (sublingual )facial :cervical branches (ascending palatine , tonsillar , submental , glandular ) - facial branches (inferior labial , superior labial , lateral nasal , angular )
Posterior and ascending: CC/EC
occipital - posterior auricular (stylomastoid ) - ascending pharyngeal (meningeal branches )
Terminal, superficial temporal : CC/EC
transverse facial - middle temporal (zygomaticoörbital ) - anterior auricular - frontal - parietal
Terminal, maxillary : CC/EC
1st part: anterior tympanic - deep auricular - middle meningeal (superior tympanic ) - accessory meningeal - inferior alveolar (mylohyoid )2nd part: deep temporal - pterygoid branches - masseteric - buccal
3rd part: posterior superior alveolar - infraorbital (anterior superior alveolar ) - descending palatine - artery of the pterygoid canal - sphenopalatine
portions #1 and 2: CC/IC
cervical portion carotid sinus ) - petrous portion Vidian , caroticotympanic )
cavernous portion /ophthalmic : CC/ICorbital group: lacrimal (lateral palpebral ) - supraorbital - posterior ethmoidal - anterior ethmoidal - medial palpebral - supratrochlear - dorsal nasal ocular group: central retinal - ciliary (short posterior , long posterior , anterior ) - superior hypophysial - inferior hypophysial
cerebral portion : CC/ICACA - anterior communicating - MCA (anterolateral central ) - posterior communicating - anterior choroidal - circle of Willis
