What is the facial artery that supplies blood to the lower portion of the face known as?

  1. External carotid

  2. Internal maxillary

  3. External maxillary

  4. Basilar artery

The correct answer is: External maxillary

The external maxillary artery is responsible for supplying blood to the lower portion of the face. The external carotid artery supplies blood to the face as a whole, not just the lower portion. The internal maxillary artery supplies blood to the upper and middle portions of the face, not the lower. The basilar artery supplies blood to the brain, not the face.
