“…Many authors noted variations in origin, such as the facial artery originating with the lingual artery from a common trunk viz. the linguofacial trunk (Ozgur et al, 2008;Troupis et al), and an intraparotid origin (Mangalgiri et al, 2015). Although the current study did not find any intraparotid origins, it did observe origins from the linguofacial trunk ( Fig.…”

An Anatomical Study of the Facial Artery

2019

The facial artery (a branch of the external carotid artery) is the main artery of the face. It gives rise to seven branches viz. inferior labial, superior labial, inferior alar, superior alar, lateral nasal and angular arteries, which are variable. This study included a dissection of twenty embalmed adult cadaveric head and neck specimens. The parameters of origin, branching patterns, termination and variations were analysed and compared with sex and laterality. The facial artery followed the standard anatomical description of origin in 84.62 % of the sample. Variations: (i) origin as a linguofacial trunk in 12.82 % and (ii) high origin in 2.56 % was observed. Male specimens displayed a higher number of linguofacial trunk origins (7.69 %). The branching patterns of the facial artery was classified into six types, with subtypes for Types 1 and 2. Subtype 1-A (standard anatomical description with early termination) occurred in most of the sample (46.15 %). Males were found to have more variations in branching patterns than females (48.72 % and 41.03 % respectively). Termination of the facial artery was as follows: inferior labial artery (5.13 %), superior labial artery (10.26 %), inferior alar artery (10.26 %), superior alar artery (46.15 %), lateral nasal artery (5.13 %), and angular artery (20.51 %). A single case (2.56 %) of an abortive artery was noted. Statistical analysis showed that sex was independent of each parameter observed in this study. Anatomical knowledge of the facial artery is of importance to clinicians and surgeons during procedures such as musculomucosal, island flaps and aesthetic dermatology.

“…Various studies have classified the facial arteries' branching pattern and termination, but few have reported on the variable origin (Troupis et al, 2015;Mangalgiri et al, 2015). In addition, few studies have reported on the differences of the facial artery anatomy between sex and laterality.…”

“…Another major artery that supplies blood to the external part of the nose is the facial artery (FA). FA stems from the external carotid artery and divides into the angular artery, bifurcating further to the lateral nasal artery and the superior labial artery [14,15]. The prevalence of veins in the nasal mucosa is favourable for effective systemic targeting.…”

Challenges in the Development and Application of Organ-on-Chips for Intranasal Drug Delivery Studies

With the growing demand for the development of intranasal (IN) products, such as nasal vaccines, which has been especially highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, the lack of novel technologies to accurately test the safety and effectiveness of IN products in vitro so that they can be delivered promptly to the market is critically acknowledged. There have been attempts to manufacture anatomically relevant 3D replicas of the human nasal cavity for in vitro IN drug tests, and a couple of organ-on-chip (OoC) models, which mimic some key features of the nasal mucosa, have been proposed. However, these models are still in their infancy, and have not completely recapitulated the critical characteristics of the human nasal mucosa, including its biological interactions with other organs, to provide a reliable platform for preclinical IN drug tests. While the promising potential of OoCs for drug testing and development is being extensively investigated in recent research, the applicability of this technology for IN drug tests has barely been explored. This review aims to highlight the importance of using OoC models for in vitro IN drug tests and their potential applications in IN drug development by covering the background information on the wide usage of IN drugs and their common side effects where some classical examples of each area are pointed out. Specifically, this review focuses on the major challenges of developing advanced OoC technology and discusses the need to mimic the physiological and anatomical features of the nasal cavity and nasal mucosa, the performance of relevant drug safety assays, as well as the fabrication and operational aspects, with the ultimate goal to highlight the much-needed consensus, to converge the effort of the research community in this area of work.

“…To illustrate, some studies have reported that the facial and lingual arteries have a common trunk called the linguofacial artery which arises from the external carotid. [ 8 9 ] Furthermore, this artery may originate within the parotid gland, referred to as the intra-parotid origin. [ 10 ] It has been shown that there are some variations related to the course and branches of the right facial artery compared to the left one.…”

“…[ 12 ] In terms of the facial artery development, it is indicated that this artery is prone to agenesis, enlargements, and excessive narrowness, all of which are related to the development of the cardiovascular system in the fetus and how the pharyngeal arches and different branches of each disappear and fuse. [ 8 13 ] In addition, this artery may not lead to the medial canthus but goes towards the zygomatic arch or infraorbital which is recognized as a deviated branch. [ 14 15 16 ] Due to the wide range of variations of this artery in the way of blood supply to the face and the number of branches separated from it, different categories are made for the variants of this artery.…”

The facial artery is the main artery supplying the face occasionally. It gives three branches on the face, the inferior labial, the superior labial, and the lateral nasal, and terminates as the angular artery. Due to congenital vascular variations in the facial artery, it has been considered in the dissection of the head and neck region. During the dissection of a 65-year-old woman to expose this region, we discovered that the left facial artery is terminated by the superior labial artery after giving off the submental and inferior labial branches. At the level of the left oral commissure, the facial artery was attached to the buccinator muscle as connective tissue, with a noticeable decrease in diameter. The purpose of this study is to report a new variation of the facial artery that is particularly important for cadaver dissection, and head and neck surgeries, as well as for facial artery angiography.
