Which arteries supply the anterior eye and how are they divided |
Common carotid, divided: external (structures outside skull and majority of face) Internal (structures inside skull inc brain and eye) |
|
|
Why are blockages more likely in the internal carotid arteries |

Where does the dorsal nasal artery leave the orbit? |
Pierces orbital septum below trochlear |
|
|
Which 2 arteries supply the lacrimal gland |

|
What are the two veins the anterior structures drain via, and where do they lead to? |
