| sternocleidomastoid branch of occipital artery | <anatomy, artery> Branches of occipital artery to sternocleidomastoid muscle. One often hooks around hypoglossal nerve. It may arise as an independent branch of the external carotid, in which case it may be referred to as the sternomastoid artery. Synonym: rami sternocleidomastoidei arteriae occipitalis.

| sulcus of occipital artery | A narrow groove medial to the mastoid notch of the temporal bone that lodges the occipital artery. Synonym: sulcus arteriae occipitalis, sulcus of occipital artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| descending branch of occipital artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin: occipital artery within occipital groove; distribution: posterior neck muscles and cervical trapezius muscle; anastomoses: superficial and deep cervical arteries, vertebral artery. Synonym: ramus descendens arteriae occipitalis, princeps cervicis artery, princeps cervicis. (05 Mar 2000) |
