Which artery is responsible for supplying blood to the upper lip?

Inferior labial artery
Superior labial artery
Angular artery
Facial artery

The correct answer is: Superior labial artery

The superior labial artery is responsible for supplying blood to the upper lip. This artery is a branch of the facial artery, which plays a critical role in providing oxygenated blood to various facial structures, including the lips. The supply of blood is essential for the health and function of the lip tissues, contributing to their appearance, sensation, and overall vitality. Understanding the anatomy and the vascular supply of the face is crucial for estheticians, as it directly impacts procedures and treatments involving the lips. Detailed knowledge of these arteries not only helps in avoiding complications during cosmetic treatments but also in enhancing the effectiveness of various esthetic procedures through targeted care.
