"origin: descending palatine artery (branch of the maxillary artery)"
"course: emerges from the pterygopalatine fossa via the greater palatine foramen onto the inferior surface of the hard palate before travelling anterior-lateral to the greater palatine nerve and entering the incisive canal 4,5"
"branches: branches to the gingival tissues, the palatine tonsils, and the mucous membrane of the roof of the mouth 5"
"termination: anastomoses with the septal branch of the sphenopalatine artery"
