The subconjunctival arteries are one of the smallest blood vessels in the human body, which is of great importance for the normal functioning of the visual apparatus. They pass under the conjunctiva, the inner lining of the eyeball, and are an important component of the vascular network of the eye. These vessels transport oxygen and nutrients to the visual apparatus, and also remove waste from eye cells and tissues.
The arteries of the subconjunctiva are elongated and narrow vessels that provide fast and efficient transport of blood and body fluids. They arise from the central (peripheral) retinal artery, a blood vessel that passes through the main nucleus of the optic nerve and connects to the ophthalmic artery. The main purpose of the subconjunctival arteries is to supply the eye disc and other parts of the visual apparatus, such as the lens, iris, etc.
In addition, these vessels play an important role in maintaining the normal functioning of the vascular system of the eye and the general functionality of the visual apparatus. Any disturbance in the blood supply can impair the functioning of the eye and even lead to serious illness. Therefore, it is important to maintain the integrity of the subconjunctival system and ensure the normal functioning of the subconjunctival arteries
