Channels of Aqueous Outflow and Related Blood Vessels

Abstract
Arteriovenous anastomotic vessels in the anterior episcleral vessel network of 32 rhesus monkey eyes were delineated with 3% silver nitrate, India ink-gelatin mixture, and colored, room-temperature vulcanizing liquid silicone compound. These vessels have inside diameters of 10μ to 30μ and have muscular walls either throughout their entire length or for a short distance near their arterial origin. They usually follow a fairly direct course from artery to vein and are capable of shunting fluid flow at physiologic pressures.
