Abstract
This study was designed to quantitatively determine blood flow to the extraocular muscles (EOM) of animals showing a wide range of ocular motility. Bloodโflow values (ml/minute/gm) for EOM in primates (0.25 ยฑ 0.03), dogs (0.33 ยฑ 0.06), sheep (0.12 ยฑ 0.01), and geese (0.12 ยฑ 0.04) were determined using the Reference Sample Method with 15 ยฑ 3 ฮผm ^103^Ru microspheres and complete cardiovascular monitoring. Mammalian EOM blood flow was significantly higher than that determined for other skeletal muscle; however, EOM bloodโflow values for sheep were significantly lower than those for primates and dogs.
No significant bloodโflow differences were found between avian EOM and other skeletal muscle, reflecting the unique avian ocular anatomy. These data indicate that high blood flow is not a general property of EOM and suggest a relationship between functional ocular motility and blood flow.
