- Parotid Duct: Also known as Stensen's duct.
Arteries of the Oral Region
- Artery Behind the Ramus: Inferior alveolar artery with five branches.
- Supplies Maxillary Molars and Premolars: Posterior superior alveolar artery.
Landmarks of the Face
- Key Facial Features: Eyes, ears, nose, forehead, chin, cheeks, lips.
Landmarks of the Oral Cavity
