10-20 Orbit I Flashcards
A: Describe the 3 RIM BONES of the Orbit
B: Now describe the 4 bones INSIDE the Orbit
A:
1. Frontal = Superior / ROOF
2. Zygomatic = lateral
3. Maxilla = Medial, Inferior / FLOOR
——————————————————————–
B: “PELS” inside the orbit
ºPalatine= part of medial floor posteriorly
ºEthmoid= extremely thin (lamina papyracea) / medial
ºLacrimal= creates fossa for lacrimal sac / medial
ºSphenoid= Special bone tht optic canal runs thru medially
Describe Sphenoid bone positioning INSIDE the Orbit [5]
- posterior & lateral
- greater & lesser wings form SUP orbital fissure
- inferior orbital fissure is between Grtr wing & Maxilla
- fissures meet medially
- Optic canal runs thru Sphenoid body medially
Describe the 6 BOUNDARIES of the ___shaped Orbit
- Base
- Apex
- Superior wall
- Medial Wall
- Inferior wall
- Lateral wall
Orbit = PYRAMID SHAPED ºBase= Orbit Rim
ºApex= points posteromedially to optic canal and has center axis which points to sella turcica @ 22.5º
ºSuperior Wall= frontal bone (small portion of sphenoid lesser wing)
ºMedial Wall = parallel to opposing orbit–>composed of ethmoid and lacrimal [frontal,maxilla,sphenoid]
ºInferior Wall=Maxilla & small part of zygomatic,palatine
ºLateral wall= THICKEST orbit wall set at 90º to opposing orbit’s lateral wall–> Zygomatic & Sphenoid
A: List AND DESCRIBE the 7 layers of the Palpebrae (AKA ______) from superficial to DEEP
B: What is its function
A: Palpebrae = “ Eyelids “
- Skin
- Subcutaneous loose connective tissue=moves skin
- Muscular layer=palpebral part of Orbicularis oculi m.
- Submuscular loose connective tissue=contain Facial CN7 —> innervates Orbicularis oculi m.
- Tarsal Plate
- Tarsal GLANDS
- Palpebral conjunctiva
B: protects & aids in eye lubrication
Describe the Skin Layer of the Palpebrae (AKA _______) [3]
Palpebrae SKIN
- Contains Moll sweat glands & Zinn sebaceous glands
- has specialized hairs [eyelashes] growing from ANT mucocutaneous border
- contain [ciliary stye glands]= eyelash sebaceous glands
Describe the TARSAL Plate Layer of the Palpebrae (AKA _______) [3]
Palpebrae = “Eyelids”
ºgives eyelid stiffness
º associates with [levator palpebrae superioris m.] superiorly= raises eyelid
º levator superioris m. also contains tarsal Muller’s m.= INC tone
Describe the TARSAL GLAND Layer of the Palpebrae (AKA _______) [3]
Palpebrae = “Eyelids”
- long glands underneath TARSAL plate
- lubricates mucocutaneous junction preventing sticking
- forms tight seal when eyelids closed
Describe the Palpebral conjunctiva Layer of the Palpebrae (AKA _______) [4]
Palpebrae = “Eyelids”
- DEEPEST layer of eyelids
- mucous membrane on inner eyelid that moistens eyelid
- continuous w/bulbar conjunctiva @ superior/inferior fornix
- superior fornix receives lacrimal gland secretions
A: What 4 things can you see from the ANTERIOR view of the eye?
B: Describe each ANT eye component
A: Palpebral fissure =space between upper & lower palpebrae
C: Lacrimal CARruncle= fleshy elevation inside Lacrimal lake that houses sweat/sebasceous glands, cilia & produces yellowish sandman secretions during sleep
———————————————————————————
D: Plica semilunaris= connective tissue band lateral to CARuncle that’s homologous with nictitating membrane “3rd eyelid”
1- What does the [Lacrimal Apparatus] do?
2-Name the 5 structures it’s composed of
1- Provides lubrication to ANT eye surface
2- A: Lacrimal Glands B: Puncta lacrimali C: Lacrimal canaliculus D: Lacrimal sac E: Nasolacrimal duct
A: Describe the 3 major features of the Lacrimal Gland
B: Where is this gland found?
C: Where do tears secreted collect?
A: 1. has small palpebral part on inner surface of eyelid
—>can see with reflected eyelid
2: has LARGE Orbital part containing interlobular ducts tht form multiple excretory ducts
B: Found In [Lacrimal Apparatus]
C: Secreted tears collect in upper lid SUP fornix & pass over eye surface with blinking
1) How do Secreted Tears reach the eye surface
2) Tears are secreted by which Gland and by which Cranial Nerve?
1) Secreted Tears collect in upper lid’s SUP fornix and pass over the eye surface with the aid of blinking
2) Tears = Lacrimal Gland = [Facial CN7^greater petrosal n.] [GVE component]
Briefly describe these structures of the [Lacrimal Apparatus] and where they’re located….
1: Puncta Lacrimali
2: Lacrimal Canaliculus
3: Lacrimal sac
4: Nasolacrimal duct
1: PL=openings in medial aspect of upper/lower eyelids that tears drain into. Found on top of [lacrimal papillae] elevations
- ——————————————————————————–
2: Lc=canal duct tht connects [Puncta lacrimali] with [lacrimal sac]. Found on upper/lower Palpebrae
- ——————————————————————————–
3: LS= oblong “sac” that rest inside lacrimal bone fossa. Connects to [Puncta lacrimal] via
- ——————————————————————————–
4: NLD= Drains fluid into nasal cavities. Found inferior to [Lacrimal sac] and ANTERIOR to [inferior nasal meatus]
Describe the SYMPATHETIC pathway to the Lacrimal Gland [4]
1st: preganglionic fibers originate from upper thoracic cord
–> travel in sympathetic chain to SYNAPSE in Superior Cervical ganglion
——> the now POSTganglionic fibers follow carotid plexus to form [DEEP PETROSAL n.] which joins w/[greater petrosal n.] = n. of pterygoid canal/vidian n.
LAST: sympathetic fibers ONLY PASS thru [pterygopalatine ganglion] & follow same course as PARAsympathetic fibers to lacrimal gland
1) [Parasympathetic GVE] preganglionic secretomotor fibers traveling to [Lacrimal Gland] originate from which nucleus?
2) What main nerve does these fibers travel as?
1) Superior Salivatory Nucleus
2) [greater petrosal n. ] daughter of Facial CN7
