Arteria Temporalis Posterior (Noun)
Meaning
Temporal artery that supplies the posterior part of the cortex of the temporal lobe.
Classification
Nouns denoting body parts.
Examples
- The arteria temporalis posterior provides the posterior segment of the cortex in the temporal lobe with the oxygenated blood needed to function.
- Oxygen deprivation resulting from an obstruction of the arteria temporalis posterior could have an impact on short-term auditory memory.
- As it progresses anteriorly to merge with branches from the posterior middle temporal artery the arteria temporalis posterior loses it identifiable border and moves within close confines.
- Proximity and pathway variances result from direct brain nourishment based mainly off temporal connections sustained mainly via the arteria temporalis posterior for maintaining responsive senses throughout lobe integration.
- Infarction to the arteria temporalis posterior, which leads to injury to the temporal lobe area, affects auditory-related cognitive function.
