    Blood Supply

    The document summarizes the blood and nerve supply to different parts of the eye. The sclera receives blood supply from the anterior and posterior ciliary arteries. The cornea receives blood supply from the limbal vessels and is innervated by the long ciliary nerves. The conjunctiva receives blood supply from the conjunctival and palpebral arterial arcades and is innervated by branches of cranial nerves. The choroid, ciliary body, iris, and retina all receive blood supply from branches of the ophthalmic artery and short and long posterior ciliary arteries.
