A. orbitaire, (Ch.) arises from the internal carotid, and issues from the cranium by the foramen opticum. At first, it is situate at the outer and lower side of the optic nerve, but ascends above this nerve, and passes towards the inner angle of the orbit. It furnishes, in its course, the lachrymal, centralis retinae, infra-orbitars, ciliarics, anterior ciliaries, inferior and superior musculars, anterior and posterior ethmoidals, and superior and inferior palpebrals. After having given off these, it divides into two branches-the frontal and nasal, which furnish a number of ramifications,-some superficial, others deep-seated.
