Deep temporal arteries
Encyclopedia
The deep temporal arteries, two in number, anterior and posterior, ascend between the Temporalis and the pericranium.
They supply the muscle, and anastomose with the middle temporal artery
.
The anterior communicates with the lacrimal artery
by means of small branches which perforate the zygomatic bone
and great wing of the sphenoid.

Middle temporal artery
The middle temporal artery arises immediately above the zygomatic arch, and, perforating the temporal fascia, gives branches to the Temporalis, anastomosing with the deep temporal branches of the internal maxillary....

Lacrimal artery
The lacrimal artery arises close to the optic foramen, and is one of the largest branches derived from the ophthalmic artery: not infrequently it is given off before the artery enters the orbit....

Zygomatic bone
The zygomatic bone is a paired bone of the human skull. It articulates with the maxilla, the temporal bone, the sphenoid bone and the frontal bone. The zygomatic is homologous to the jugal bone of other tetrapods...
