The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The artery passes superior-ward between the medial pterygoid muscle and styloglossus muscle.
- Upon reaching the superior border of the styloglossus muscle, the tonsillar artery penetrates the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle to enter the pharynx and reach the palatine tonsil.
- The artery then ramifies within the substance of the tonsil and musculature of the root of the tongue.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Tonsillar artery article was read about 1,100 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 29 and blocks with 17: each hit it takes is cut by 7 %.
