As the inferior alveolar artery enters the mandibular foramen, it gives off a mylohyoid branch which runs in the mylohyoid groove, and ramifies on the under surface of the Mylohyoideus.

List of arteries of head and neck
Anterior: CC/ECsuperior thyroid (superior laryngeal) - lingual (sublingual)
facial: cervical branches (ascending palatine, tonsillar, submental, glandular) - facial branches (inferior labial, superior labial, lateral nasal, angular)
Posterior and ascending: CC/ECoccipital - posterior auricular (stylomastoid) - ascending pharyngeal (meningeal branches)
Terminal, superficial temporal: CC/ECtransverse facial - middle temporal (zygomaticoörbital) - anterior auricular - frontal - parietal
Terminal, maxillary: CC/EC1st part: anterior tympanic - deep auricular - middle meningeal (superior tympanic) - accessory meningeal - inferior alveolar (mylohyoid)

2nd part: deep temporal - pterygoid branches - masseteric - buccal

3rd part: posterior superior alveolar - infraorbital (anterior superior alveolar) - descending palatine - artery of the pterygoid canal - sphenopalatine
portions #1 and 2: CC/ICcervical portion (carotid sinus) - petrous portion (Vidian, caroticotympanic)
cavernous portion/ophthalmic: CC/ICorbital group: lacrimal (lateral palpebral) - supraorbital - posterior ethmoidal - anterior ethmoidal - medial palpebral - supratrochlear - dorsal nasal
