2. THE INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY ascends along the vertebral column 
and the side of the pharynx from the common carotid; posterior and ex- 
ternal to the external carotid, behind the digastric and styloid muscles, 
internal to the jugular vein, and anterior to the vagus and sympathetic 
nerves, to the foramen caroticum in the petrous bone. It then bends tor- 
tuously forwards, upwards, and inwards through the carotid canal, enters 
the cavernous sinus, and passing the anterior clinoid process it divides 
opposite to the internal extremity of the fissure of Sylvius into its three ter- 
minating branches, viz. posterior communicans, anterior cerebri, and media 
cerebri. In the neck and in the carotid canal it sends off small and unim- 
portant branches; one named tympanic, is distributed to the tympanum 
through a small hole in the carotid canal. The first branch of any import- 
ance is: 
The Ophthalmic Artery. This arises close to the anterior clinoid process, 
and passes through the optic foramen below and external to the optic nerve : 
in the orbit, it passes round the nerve to the inner side of the cavity and ter- 
minates in the inner cauthus. While on the outer side of the optic nerve 
it sends off: 1, centralis retine, distributed to the interior of the eye; 2, the 
lachrymal, which passes along the external rectus muscle and supplies the: 
lachrymal gland and the palpebree. While above the optic nerve it gives. 
off: 3, the supra-orbital, which passes forwards along the levator palpebre, 
and through the superciliary notch, supplying the muscles and integuments 
of the eyebrow and the scalp; 4, the posterior ciliary, ten or twelve in 
number and very small, becoming distributed to the choroid coat of the 
eye; 5, the long cary one on each side, passing horizontally forwards as:
