[edit on Wikidata]

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.

Structure[edit]

The lesser palatine arteries are branches of the descending palatine artery.[1] They go through the lesser palatine foramina.[2] They anastomose with the ascending pharyngeal artery.[2]

Function[edit]

The lesser palatine arteries give off tonsillary branches to supply the palatine tonsils.[3] They also gives off mucosal branches that usually supply the soft palate,[2][4] and potentially the hard palate.[5]
