Fig. 11. Original drawing of dissected globe, showing temporal suprachoroid and choroid. Choroidal arteries, branches of the short posterior ciliary arteries (left), appear wavy and tortuous as they radiate outward from disc. Vessels are partially obscured by melanocytes. Long posterior ciliary artery and nerve cross the horizontal branching near the ora. Ciliary nerves are prominent, as they are only loosely bound by suprachoroidal lamellae. Confluence of two vortex veins can be seen at top and bottom. (Courtesy of Stephen Gordon) |
