Abstract
The orbital nerves were examined grossly in eight adult Van cats from either sex. The optic nerve, in a sigmoid curl, reached the eyeball after coursing between the retractor bulbi and medial rectus muscles. The oculomotor nerve gave off dorsal and ventral branches between the retractor bulbi and lateral rectus muscles. The ciliary ganglion was located on the lateral subbranch of the ventral branch of this nerve in all materials. There were short ciliary nerves originated from the ciliary ganglion in all the materials observed. The lacrimal nerve was a branch of the maxillary nerve.
