Scanning electron microscopic study on the vasculature of the human anterior eye segment, especially with respect to the ciliary processes.

The architecture of the vasculature of the human anterior eye segment was studied by scanning electron microscopy of vascular resin casts. Regarding the major vessels it was found that the perforating branches of the anterior ciliary arteries (ACA) form an anastomozing circle which lies in the posterior portion of the ciliary muscle (intramuscular circle). The ACAs supply the outer and posterior parts of the ciliary muscle, partly the iris, and the peripheral choroid by recurrent ACA branches… CONTINUE READING
