Arteries Ciliated Posterior Short

Posterior short ciliary arteries (lat. arteriae ciliares posteriores breves) are a pair of small arteries of the eye that arise from the posterior ciliary arteries and go to the posterior part of the ciliary body.

These vessels supply blood to the muscles that innervate the iris of the eye. In addition, the posterior short ciliary arteries supply the posterior part of the ciliary body. Their diameter is 0.5-1 mm.

They branch from the long posterior ciliary arteries, then go posteriorly and reach the ciliary body. There, these arteries anastomose with the anterior ciliary arteries, forming the arterial collateral circulation of the ciliary body.

Thus, the posterior short ciliary arteries play an important role in the blood supply to the structures of the eye involved in accommodation and regulation of light entering the eye.

The posterior short ciliary arteries (a.ciliares posteriores breves) are small arteries that are found in the back of the head and neck in humans and animals. They are branches of large arteries such as the carotid arteries and vertebral arteries.

The long posterior ciliated arteries are small arteries located in the back of the human neck and head. They originate from the common carotid arteries and pass along the spinal column, branching into small vessels.

The functions of the short posterior ciliary arteries include supplying blood to the skin and muscles of the back of the head, neck and shoulders. In addition, they are involved in regulating pressure in the blood vessels of the brain and in supplying oxygen to the tissues of the neck and back.

Damage to the short ciliary arteries can lead to poor circulation in this area, which can lead to various diseases such as stroke, myocardial infarction, stroke and others. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of the ciliary arteries and take measures to strengthen them and prevent diseases.
