Blood samples from living laboratory animals may be collected using following methods: [26] [27] Blood collection not requiring anesthesia: Saphenous vein (rat, mice, guinea pig) Dorsal pedal vein (rat, mice) Blood collection requiring anesthesia (local/general anesthesia): Tail vein (rat, mice) Tail snip (mice) Orbital sinus (rat, mice)
As a venous sinus, the cavernous sinus receives blood from the superior and inferior ophthalmic veins and from superficial cortical veins, and is connected to the basilar plexus of veins posteriorly. The cavernous sinus drains by two larger channels, the superior and inferior petrosal sinuses , ultimately into the internal jugular vein via the ...
The plexus drains all veins that correspond to the branches of the maxillary artery (however, much of the blood delivered by the maxillary artery is returned by other routes), as well as two additional veins. [2] It receives the following veins: [citation needed] sphenopalatine; middle meningeal; deep temporal (anterior & posterior) pterygoid ...
The superior ophthalmic vein is a vein of the orbit that drains venous blood from structures of the upper orbit. It is formed by the union of the angular vein, and supraorbital vein. It passes backwards within the orbit alongside the ophthalmic artery, then exits the orbit through the superior orbital fissure to drain into the cavernous sinus.
The inferior ophthalmic vein passes posterior-ward through the inferior orbit [4] upon the inferior rectus muscle.It passes across (not through) the inferior orbital fissure before either draining into the superior ophthalmic vein within the orbit, or passing through or below the common tendinous ring and exiting the orbit through the superior orbital fissure to empty into the cavernous sinus.
The ophthalmic artery (OA) is an artery of the head.It is the first branch of the internal carotid artery distal to the carotid 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.
With age, the enlarging maxillary sinus may even begin to surround the roots of the maxillary posterior teeth and extend its margins into the body of the zygomatic bone. If the maxillary posterior teeth are lost, the maxillary sinus may expand even more, thinning the bony floor of the alveolar process so that only a thin shell of bone is ...
The walls of the dural venous sinuses are composed of dura mater lined with endothelium, a specialized layer of flattened cells found in blood and lymph vessels.They differ from other blood vessels in that they lack a full set of vessel layers (e.g. tunica media) characteristic of arteries and veins.
