Arteries Eyelid Lateral

In this article we will look at the lateral arteries of the eyelids (lower and upper), which are part of the human vascular system and play an important role in feeding the tissues of the eyelids.

The lateral eyelid arteries are two arteries that run along the sides of the face and supply the eyelids and the skin around them. They are branches from the external carotid artery and pass through the orbit.

The lateral lower eyelid artery (a. palpebralis lateralis inferior) starts from the external carotid artery at the level of the lower edge of the zygomatic bone and passes through the lower orbital fissure, where it divides into two branches: the superior and inferior eyelid-buccal arteries. The superior eyelid-buccal artery runs to the top of the eyelid and supplies the skin and muscles of the upper eyelid. The inferior eyelid artery supplies the skin of the lower eyelid and subcutaneous tissue.

The superior eyelid artery lateral (a.palpebralis superior) begins at the level of the upper edge of the zygomatic bone, passes through the superior orbital fissure and is divided into two branches: the middle and superior eyelid-nasal artery. The middle eyelid-nasal artery runs along the medial side of the eyelid and supplies the nasal mucosa. The superior palpebral artery runs along the top of the eyelid, supplying the skin and muscles.

Both lateral eyelid arteries are important for nourishing the tissues of the eyelids and skin around the eyes. They provide oxygen and nutrients to these tissues, which is necessary for their normal functioning and maintenance of health.

In addition, the lateral eyelid arteries can be susceptible to various diseases, such as atherosclerosis or thrombosis. These diseases can disrupt the blood supply to tissues and cause various problems such as swelling, redness and pain.

Thus, the lateral eyelid arteries play an important role in the normal functioning of the blood vessels of the eyelids and the skin around them, and can also be susceptible to diseases that can lead to serious problems.

Lateral eyelid arteries

The eyelid arteries are small vascular branches that supply blood to the skin and muscles around the eyes. They are important elements of the orbital system, which is responsible for maintaining the normal functioning of the eye and face as a whole.

**The lateral arteries of the eyelids**, or the lower and upper arteries of the eyelids (a.palpebrales lata, pla, rla), are those that emerge from the blood supplying branches of the common ophthalmic artery: the external tunica arteriosus - the external epicantum; external orbit - common middle branch of the ophthalmic artery; external superior conjunctiva and lateral internal interorbital artery, middle orbital part
