Blutgefäße der Orbita

This video tutorial provides an in-depth look at the blood vessels within the orbit, focusing on the arteries and veins. It begins with an overview of the internal carotid artery and its branches, particularly the ophthalmic artery, which supplies various structures in and around the orbit. The tutorial then explores the ethmoidal and supraorbital arteries, detailing their paths and functions. Finally, it covers the venous system, including the cavernous sinus and its connections, highlighting the clinical significance of these structures.
