Which artery supplies all teeth, muscles of mastication, palate, and nasal cavity?

Facial artery
Maxillary artery
Mandibular artery
Temporal artery

The correct answer is: Maxillary artery

The Maxillary artery supplies all teeth because it is a branch of the external carotid artery and its branches include the middle meningeal artery, inferior alveolar artery, and mental artery, which supply the teeth, muscles of mastication, palate, and nasal cavity. The other options are incorrect because the facial artery only supplies the skin and muscles of facial expression, the mandibular artery supplies the muscles of mastication but not the teeth, and the temporal artery supplies the temporal region of the head.
