Fur-thermore, as it enters the eye. the central artery of the optic nerve gives off ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE UVEA 393 lateral branches which form an arterial network in the peripheral portionsof the vitreous (vasa hyaloidea propria—not yet present in the eye that isrepresented in Fig. 162), and likewise extend forward to the margin of thelens. The main trunk of the arteria centralis corporis vitrei, upon arriving,at the posterior pole of the lens, divides into branches, ramifying over theposterior surface of the lens and running forward to the margin of the latter, /.
