Origin - muscular branches of ophthalmic artery

Course and supply:

• Reaches the eyeball by passing along with the tendons of the rectus muscles (except lateral rectus)
• forms a circumcorneal subconjunctival vascular zone
• pierces the sclera near sclerocorneal junction to end in the greater arterial circle of iris ( ciculus ateriosus major )
