The accurate anatomy of the layers of temporal fascia and their blood supply is controversial and until now, not totally established.
In ten fresh cadavers the three layers of fascia in temporal region and blood supply have been studied. The frontal and parietal branches of the superficial temporal arteries lie between the hair follicles and galeal layer(superficial temporal fascia). The in nominate fascia is a continuation of the periosteum of the frontoparieto-occipital region under the galeal layer and nourished by branches of the superficial temporal artery. The middle temporal branch of the superficial temporal artery arises immediately above the zygomatic arch and perforating the deep temporal fascia gives branches to the temporalis especially superficial surface of the muscle. The posterior deep temporal branch of the superficial temporal artery arise just below the origin of the middle tempral artery and gives branches to the temporalis, especially deep surface of muscle.- Also, the anterior and posterior deep temporal arteries from the internal maxillary artery give branches to the deep surface of the temporal muscle.
The blood supply to the temporalis forms a series of arches on the superficial and deep surfaces of the upper margin of the temporalis and does not give any branches above the temporal line. The skull beneath the temporalis is supplied by multiple perforators of the deep temporal branches of superficial temporal artery and internal maxillary artery, and middle meningeal artery. The periosteum can sustain the full lalyer of calvarium by means of multiple small vertical perforators from branches of the superficial temporal artery and its anastomosis with the meningeal artery.
The parietal branch and the auricular branch of the superficial temporal artery, posterior auricular branch of external carotid artery richly interconnect with each other, making three circles with
