There is a dense network of blood vessels supplying the nasal mucosa. The '''sphenopalatine artery''' supplies the [[Equine Upper Respiratory Tract - Horse Anatomy#Nasal Cavity|nasal cavity]]. The lateral and dorsal '''nasal arteries''', which are branches of the facial artery, itself a branch of the '''external carotid artery''', supply the [[Equine Upper Respiratory Tract - Horse Anatomy#Nose|nose]]. The '''infraorbital artery''' also supplies the [[Equine Upper Respiratory Tract - Horse Anatomy#Nose|nose]].
