Which artery is responsible for supplying blood to the forehead and scalp?

Frontal
Temporal
Occipital
Coronary

The correct answer is: Occipital

The artery that supplies blood to the forehead and scalp is the frontal artery, which branches from the ophthalmic artery, a branch of the internal carotid artery. It provides important blood flow to the forehead area, including the skin and underlying tissues. While the temporal artery does supply parts of the scalp, it is not the primary vessel responsible for blood flow to the forehead. The occipital artery primarily supplies the posterior scalp and neck, and is not involved in supplying blood to the forehead. The coronary artery is associated with the heart and does not supply blood to the scalp or forehead at all. Therefore, the frontal artery is recognized as the correct answer due to its direct role in supplying these areas.
