the temporal fascia, gives branches to the Temporalis, anastomosing with the deep
temporal branches of the internal maxillary. It occasionally gives off a zygomaticoC6rbital
branch, which runs along the upper border of the zygomatic arch, between the two layers
of the temporal fascia, to the lateral angle of the orbit.;
