Explanation

Middle meningeal artery is a branch of the first part of Maxillary Artery

Comments

Middle Meningeal Artery is the largest of the meningeal arteries and it ascends between the sphenomandibular ligament and lateral pterygoid, passes between the roots of the auriculotemporal nerve and may lie lateral to the tensor veli palatini before entering the cranial cavity through the foramen spinosum.
