The infraorbital artery is a significant blood vessel located in the face, which supplies blood to the tissues in and around the orbit, or eye socket. It is sometimes referred to as the inferior orbital artery, or the infra-orbital artery. This artery is a branch of the maxillary artery, which is the largest of the terminal branches of the external carotid artery. The infraorbital artery plays a crucial role in the blood supply of the face, and its importance cannot be overstated. Synonyms for this artery include the inferior orbital artery, infra-orbital artery, maxillary artery, and inferior ophthalmic artery.
