Are vessels which enter the auditory canals, and are, like them, distinguished into internal and external. The external auditory artery, A. Tympanique- (Ch.) is given off by the styloid, a branch of the external carotid: the internal is a branch of the basilary artery, which accompanies the auditory nerve, and is distributed to it. The Auditory Veins empty into the internal and external jugulars.
