Lesser palatine arteries

The lesser palatine arteries are arteries of the head. It is a branch of the descending palatine artery. They supply the palatine tonsils and the soft palate.

The lesser palatine arteries are branches of the descending palatine artery. They go through the lesser palatine foramina. They anastomose with the ascending pharyngeal artery.

The lesser palatine arteries give off tonsillary branches to supply the palatine tonsils. They also gives off mucosal branches that usually supply the soft palate, and potentially the hard palate.
