11: Orbit, Eye, And Eye Movement Flashcards
Palpebral portion vs lacrimal portion of orbicularis oculi: function
Palpebral portion: gentle closing of eyelid
Lacrimal portion: tight closing of eyelid, dilates lacrimal sac
Levator palpebrae superioris O and I
O: lesser wing of sphenoid
I: tarsus / palpebral fascia and skin of upper lid
Levator palpebrae superioris N
CN 3
Tarsal muscle of muller O and I
O: lesser wing of sphenoid
I: tarsal plate of upper lid
Tarsal muscles innervation
Symp fibers from T1 (smooth muscles btw)
Horner’s syndrome
Paralysis of tarsal muscle, causing slight ptosis (also miosis, enophthalmos, anhydrosis, and bruising of skin on face
Location of lacrimal gland
Lacrimal fossa of orbit, with some protruding into the upper lid, otherwise on top of LR and LPS muscles
Lacrimal ducts
6-10 small ducts that drain into superior fornix
Path of tears draining from surface of eye
- Lacrimal canaliculi
- Common sinus
- Lacrimal sac
- Nasolacrimal duct
- Inferior meatus of nasal cavity
Lacrimal punctilious
Openings of the lacrimal canaliculi
MOI for blow-out fracture
Trauma to front of eyeball, depressed fracture of zygomatic which is displaced medially
What structures can be herniated in a blow out fracture, and where would they herniate into?
Periorbita, IO, IR, orbital fat pad -> into maxillary sinus
Which three nerves are used by both symp and parasymp nerves to innervate the lacrimal gland?
Maxillary N, lacrimal N, zygomatic N
Which type of nerve synapses in the sphenopalatine ganglion on the way to innervate the lacrimal gland, symp or parasymp?
Parasymp synapse there
Origin of all extraocular muscles besides inferior oblique
Annulus tendinius
Three major nerves to the orbit (all from V1)
Lacrimal N, frontal N, nasociliary N
Two branches of the lacrimal N
Zygomaticofacial, zygomaticotemporal N
