Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The facial artery originates deep to the platysma and quickly becomes superficial. The tortuous course of this artery allows for more stretch during facial actions such as mastication. As it courses on the face, the vessel travels deep to the posterior belly of the digastric and stylohyoid muscles.

Detailed explanation-2: -The inferior alveolar artery is the main blood supply to the mandible bone. The perfusion territory of the inferior alveolar artery includes the lower jaw gingivae and teeth. The branches of the inferior alveolar artery perfuse regions, including the chin, neck, and lower lip.
