Ocular Circulation Flashcards
where does the cav sin extend from
superior orbital fissure to the petrous portion of the temporal bone
where does the dorsonasal artery exit
orbital septum
Parotid lymph nodes
Drains:
Lateral aspect of the lids, lateral canthus, lacrimal gland
what does the circle of zinn do
encircles the ON at the choroid (pial vessels anastomose as well)
-zinn might not be complete
what is the terminal branch to the medial canthus is called
angular artery
