ophthalmic artery in dogs

The ophthalmic artery is a branch of the internal carotid artery which supplies branches to supply the eye and other structures in the orbit. It enters the orbit together with the Optic nerve through the Optic foramen/canal. [WP,modified]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
