Abstract
The orbital vessels in rhesus monkeys were studied. The arterial supply is by the ophthalmic artery, a branch of the internal carotid artery in the cranial cavity. The ophthalmic artery gives multiple branches throughout its entire course: from the intracranial part, a prominent ophthalmic communicating artery; from the intracanalicular part, one or more branches; from the intraorbital part, the central retinal artery, lateral posterior ciliary artery, lacrimal artery, branch to superior rectus, medial muscular artery in common with medial posterior ciliary arteries, branch to medial rectus, ethmoidal artery, branch to levator palpebrae superioris, medial palpebral artery, diploic branch, and terminal branches (supraorbital, supratrochlear and, rarely, dorsal nasal), generally in that order from the proximal to the distal part of the artery. Their origin, course and supply are discussed. The arterial pattern of rhesus monkeys is compared with that of human beings.
The venous drainage is by superior and inferior ophthalmic veins which join together near the superior orbital fissure to open ultimately in the cavernous sinus. Tributaries of each vein are described with particular reference to the ocular veins.
