Title: [Sources of the blood supply to the human bulbar conjunctiva]. Author: Orlov VM. Journal: Arkh Anat Gistol Embriol; 1979 Nov; 77(11):21-6. PubMed ID: 518327. Abstract: In 93 complex preparations of the human orbit, the sources for blood supply of the eyeball conjunctiva, types of orbital vessels, including size of their diameters, were studied. The open parts of the conjunctiva were stated to get arteries of greater diameters comparing to those supplying the subconjunctival parts. It was noted that some sources of blood supply take their origin from the external carotid artery. This fact should be taken into account when choosing the part for biomicroscopy of the eyeball conjunctiva vessels.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
