The origin and ramification of the posterior deep temporal artery of the dog have been studied by means of the acryl plastic injection method. The artery arose distal to the origin of the inferior alveolar in more than half of all the examples observed, but in common or in contact with the inferior alveolar in others.
All the branches of the artery were mentioned; the lingual, the temporomandibular joint, the anterior, the lateral pterygoid muscular branches and the masseteric artery. Then the artery terminated into the superior, the superoposterior and the posterior branches.
