It can originate from the maxillary artery or middle meningeal artery and supplies the meatus and membranous portion of the auditory tube, the lateral pharyngeal muscle, and the medial pterygoid muscle; Laterally, it supplies the lateral pterygoid muscle, the extracranial part of the mandibular nerve, the pterygoid venous plexus, and the sphenoid periosteum.
