Anterior Ethmoidal Artery - Origin
Ophthalmic Artery
Supraorbital Artery - Origin
Ophthalmic Artery
Supraorbital Nerve - Origin
Frontal Nerve (V1)
- Occassionally from supratrochlear nerve
Anterior and posterior ethmoidal aa. - Origin

Sphenopalatine Artery - Origin
Maxillary A.
- Via posterior lateral nasal
branches
- Form an anastomosis with
anterior and posterior
