Editing Conjunctiva (section)

===Blood supply===
Blood to the bulbar conjunctiva is primarily derived from the ophthalmic artery. The blood supply to the palpebral conjunctiva (the eyelid) is derived from the [[external carotid artery]]. However, the circulations of the bulbar conjunctiva and palpebral conjunctiva are linked, so both bulbar conjunctival and palpebral conjunctival vessels are supplied by both the ophthalmic artery and the external carotid artery, to varying extents.<ref name=":6">{{cite journal | vauthors = Pavlou AT, Wolff HG | title = The bulbar conjunctival vessels in occlusion of the internal carotid artery | journal = A.M.A. Archives of Internal Medicine | volume = 104 | issue = 1 | pages = 53–60 | date = July 1959 | pmid = 13660526 | doi = 10.1001/archinte.1959.00270070055007 }}</ref>
