in front of the ear to supply the temple, scalp, pinna and ex- 

 ternal auditory meatus. [683] 



Great Occipital. This ascends past the occipital protuber- 

 ance to supply the scalp posteriorly. [612] 



Small Occipital. This ascends, midway between the occip- 

 ital protuberance and the ear, to (auricular branches) the ear 

 and (mastoid and occipital branches) scalp. [618] 



Great Auricular. The branches ascend to (auricular) the 

 pinna, and (mastoid) the scalp behind it. [618] 



Facial. The posterior auricular branch divides behind the 

 ear into a branch (auricular) to the Retrahens aurem and in- 

 trinsic muscles of the pinna, and another (occipital) to the 

 posterior belly of the Occipito-frontalis. Temporal branches 

 of the pes anserinus (temporo-facial division) ascend in front 

 of the ear to the Attrahens aurem, Attollens aurem, and ante- 

 rior belly of the Occipito-frontalis. [687] 



ARTERIES. 



Occipital. This ascends near the occipital protuberance; 

 its terminal branches (internal and external) ramify on the 

 back of the scalp; a twig (parietal) enters the parietal fora- 

 men. [807] 



Posterior Auricular. This divides behind the ear into 

 auricular and mastoid branches. [808] 



Superficial Temporal. This ascends in front of the ear and 

 divides into terminal branches (anterior and posterior) which 

 ramify over the vertex. [809] 



Ophthalmic. The supra-orbital branch ascends from the 

 supra-orbital notch to the forehead. The frontal branch as- 

 scends from the inner canthus to the scalp. [815] 



VEINS. 



The occipital drains the occipito-parietal region and de- 

 scends with the occipital artery. The posterior auricular 

 drains the posterior temporo-parietal region and descends
