The superior thyroid artery supplies the thyroidand adjacent muscles.The lingual artery supplies the tongue, the lining membrane of the mouth, the structures in the floor of the mouth, the tonsil and the epiglottis.The facial artery passes outwards over the mandiblejust in front of the angle of the jaw and supplies the muscles of facial expression and structures in the
• gland Willis (Fig. 5.34). Four large arteries contribute to its for-mation: two internal carotid arteries and two vertebral arter- ies (Fig. 5.35). The vertebral arteries arise from the subclavian arteries, pass upwards through the foramina in the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae, enter the skull through the foramen magnum, then join to form the basilar artery. The arrangement in the circulus arterio- sus (circle of Willis) is such that the brain as a whole receives an adequate blood supply when a contributing artery is damaged and during extreme movements of the head and neck.
Anteriorly, two anterior cerebral arteries arise from theinternal carotid arteries and are joined by the anterior communicating artery.
Posteriorly, two vertebral arteries join to form the basilar artery. After travelling for a short distance the basilar artery divides to form two posterior cerebral arteries, each of which is joined to the corresponding internal carotid artery by a posterior communicating artery, completing the circle. The circulus arteriosus is therefore

a major contributor to the circulus arteriosus (circle ofWillis) (Fig. 5.34) which supplies the greater part of the brain. It also has branches that supply the eyes, forehead and nose. It ascends to the base of the skull and passes through the carotid foramen in the temporal bone.
