The pterygoid plexus (;〔(Entry "pterygoid" ) in ''(Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary )''.〕 from Greek χυμός ''teryx'', "wing" and ''eidos'', "shape") is a venous plexus of considerable size, and is situated between the temporalis muscle and lateral pterygoid muscle, and partly between the two pterygoid muscles. ==Tributaries received== It receives tributaries corresponding with the branches of the maxillary artery. Thus it receives the following veins: * sphenopalatine * middle meningeal * deep temporal (anterior & posterior) * pterygoid * masseteric * buccinator * alveolar * some palatine veins (palatine vein which divides into the greater and lesser palatine v.) * a branch which communicates with the ophthalmic vein through the inferior orbital fissure * infraorbital vein 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「pterygoid plexus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
