A

1) Collagen fibrils in the cornea are uniform in diameter, and evenly-spaced
2) Run parallel to each other inbundles (lamellae)
3) 200-300 lamellae in stroma
4) Adjacent lamellae lie at angles toeach other, but all fibrils 5) within alamella run parallel.

Q

Where does the aqueous humour drain out of the eye?

A

Anterior chamber angle

23
Q

Anterior chamber angle

A

Junction between the iris and cornea.

24
Q 
Key structures involved in the anterior chamber angle
1
2
3
4
A

1) Cornea
2) Trabecular meshwork (a sieve structure of the cornea)
3) Canal of Schlemm (where aqueous humour drains from the anterior chamber to the venous system)
4) Ciliary body (where fluid of aqueous humour is produced)

25
Q

Glaucoma

A

Blockage of the Canal of Schlemm.

Increase in intraocular pressure

26
Q

Uvea
1
2
3

A

Middle layer of the eye.
Major role is nutrition of the eyeball.
Consists of conjunctiva, sclera and ciliary body.

27
Q

Ciliary body
1
2
3

A

1) Forms aqueous humour (sort of like CSF)
2) Tethers lens of eye via ciliary processes of ciliary epithelium (important in focussing)
3) Accommodation (ciliary muscle)

28
Q

What is aqueous humour important for?

A

Maintaining health of lens and cornea

29
Q

What are involved in accommodation?

A

Ciliary muscles and zonules (ligaments that attach ciliary muscles to lens)

30
Q

What innervates the ciliary muscles?

A

Parasympathetic nervous system of CNIII

31
Q

Which type of muscle are ciliary muscles?

A

Smooth

32
Q

What happens when ciliary muscles contract?

A

Flatten out, stretch lens. Makes lens thinner.
Relaxation makes lens bulge, become thicker.

‘Accommodation or focussing’

33
Q

Term for loss of accommodation with age

A

Presbyopia.

Can’t focus on near objects.

34
Q

What leads to presbyopia?

A

Reduction in flexibility of lens capsule and zonules.

35
Q

How is presbyopia treated?

A

Using + lenses.

36
Q

Muscles in iris
1
2

A

1) Sphincter pupillae

2) Dilator pupillae

37
Q

Sphincter pupillae
1
2
3

A

Of iris.
Constricts pupil (runs along circumference of pupil)
Innervated by parasympathetic NS

38
Q

Dilator pupillae

A

Of iris
Dilates pupil (‘spokes on a wheel’)
Innervated by the sympathetic NS

39
Q

Choroid location

A

Sits behind retina

40
Q

Choroid structure
1
2

A

1) Three blood vessels

2) For nutrition to the retina

41
Q 
Retina structures
1
2
3
4
5
A

1) Optic nerve/optic disc
2) Fovea/foveola
3) Macular
4) Posterior pole
5) Ora serrata (junction between retina and ciliary body)

42
Q 
Fovea
1
2
3
4
A

1) High-visual acuity (cells, other than cones, are shifted away from the fovea, making a pit)
2) Avascular (gets nutrients from choroid)
3) High density of cones
4) No rods

43
Q

How does optic nerve pierce sclera at the back of the eye?

A

~2/3 of sclera bends, forms optic sheath of optic nerve.

~1/3 of sclera continues across the optic nerve to form lamina cribosa.

44
Q

Lamina cribosa

A

Where ~1/3 of sclera continues across the optic nerve to form lamina cribosa.
This forms a collagenous mesh which adds strength to optic nerve.

45
Q

What can happen to lamina cribosa if intraocular pressure increases?

A

Bows outwards from eye, impinges on visual nerves.

46
Q

Sheath of optic nerve

A

Dura and sclera

47
Q

Blood supply of the orbit and eye

A

1) All are tributaries of the Opthalmic artery, which is a branch of the internal carotid artery.
2) Central retinal artery branches from the opthalmic artery, pierces optic nerve, travels through optic nerve to retina, fan out across the retina.
3) Ciliary arteries branch from opthalmic artery

48
Q

Ciliary arteries

A

Branch from opthalmic artery, travel along exterior of optic nerve.
Pierce eye around the optic nerve.
Short posterior ciliary arteries supply choroid, pierce posterior eyeball.
Long posterior ciliary arteries pierce with short posterior arteries, travel to front of eye.
Anterior ciliary arteries don’t pierce eye with posterior arteries. Supply cornea, anterior structures.

49
Q

Types of ciliary arteries
1
2
3

A

1) Short posterior ciliary arteries supply choroid, pierce posterior eyeball.
2) Long posterior ciliary arteries pierce with short posterior arteries, travel to front of eye.
3) Anterior ciliary arteries don’t pierce eye with posterior arteries. Supply cornea, anterior structures.

50
Q

Blood supply of the retina
1
2

A

Dual blood supply:

1) Central retinal artery supplies the inner retina
2) Posterior ciliary artery supplies the outer retina (photoreceptors)

51
Q

Components of eyelid

A

Skin on outside.
Conjunctiva (mucous membrane) on inside.
Muscles: orbicularis oculae, levator palpebrae superioris

52
Q

Orbicularis oculae

A

A sphincter muscle, innervated by CNVII.
Surrounds orbit.
When it contracts, closes eye (depresses upper eyelid).

53
Q

Levator palpebrae superioris

A

Lies in upper eyelid.
When it contracts, opens eye.
Innervated by CNIII
