Origin, width, course and twigs of the ascending pharyngeal artery are investigated on 63 head-helves. In about 80% this vessel is a twig from the external carotid artery or from a common trunc from this vessel. In 20% there is a twig from an other artery (In 4,8% the ascending pharyngeal artery is a twig of the internal carotid artery). The ascending pharyngeal artery is 1.57 (0.9-2.3) mm in width and its course is in the most cases straight, medial, mediorostral or laterorostral from the internal carotid artery in the parapharyngeal spaces. Number, course and width of the pharyngeal rami, the rami to the lymphatic nodes, to the superior sympathetic ganglion, the prevertebral tissues in the neighbourhood of the carotic canal, to the external cranial base, to the nasal part of the pharynx and to the hypoglossal canal are prepared and studied. The clinical value is discussed.
在63个头部标本上研究了咽升动脉的起源、宽度、走行及分支。约80%的情况下，该血管是颈外动脉的分支或颈外动脉共同干的分支。20%的情况下有来自其他动脉的分支（4.8%的咽升动脉是颈内动脉的分支）。咽升动脉宽度为1.57（0.9 - 2.3）mm，其走行在大多数情况下是在咽旁间隙内从颈内动脉呈直线、内侧、中 Rostral 或外侧 Rostral 走行。对咽支、至淋巴结的分支、至上交感神经节的分支、颈动脉管附近的椎前组织、至颅外基底、至咽鼻部及至舌下神经管的分支的数量、走行及宽度进行了观察和研究，并讨论了其临床意义。
