The blood supply to the palpebral conjunctiva (the eyelid) is derived from the external carotid artery. However, the circulations of the bulbar conjunctiva and palpebral conjunctiva are linked, so both bulbar conjunctival and palpebral conjunctival vessels are supplied by both the ophthalmic artery and the external carotid artery, to varying ...
The anterior ciliary arteries contribute arterial blood supply to the rectus muscles, conjunctiva, sclera, [2] [1] and the ciliary body. [ citation needed ] The anterior ciliary arteries issue branches to the conjunctiva before piercing the sclera, forming an artieral network in the limbal conjunctiva.
The macula responsible for central vision and the anterior part of the optic nerve are dependent on choroidal blood supply. [4] The structure of choroidal vessels can be revealed by optical coherence tomography , and blood flow can be revealed by Indocyanine green angiography , and laser Doppler imaging .
The eyelid is made up of several layers; from superficial to deep, these are: skin, subcutaneous tissue, orbicularis oculi, orbital septum and tarsal plates, and palpebral conjunctiva. The meibomian glands lie within the eyelid and secrete the lipid part of the tear film .
The lacrimal artery supplies the lacrimal gland, the eyelids and conjunctiva, and the superior rectus muscle and lateral rectus muscle. [6]Recurrent meningeal branch. A recurrent meningeal branch may sometimes arise from the lacrimal artery to pass backwards, exiting the orbit through the lateral part of the superior orbital fissure to reach the dura mater.
A thin layer called the conjunctiva sits on top of this. The front part is also called the anterior segment of the eye. The eye is not shaped like a perfect sphere; rather it is a fused two-piece unit, composed of an anterior (front) segment and the posterior (back) segment. The anterior segment is made up of the cornea, iris and lens.
The ophthalmic artery (OA) is an artery of the head.It is the first branch of the internal carotid artery distal to the cavernous sinus.Branches of the ophthalmic artery supply all the structures in the orbit around the eye, as well as some structures in the nose, face, and meninges.
