Conjuctivi
Conjunctiva is divided into what 3 areas
Palbepbrae conjunctiva, conjuctivial fornix, bulbar conjuctivial
Superficial layer of conjuctivis
Non kertinized epithelium w goblet cells
Deep conjunctiva
Substantial propria with lympcyte and fibrous layer
What is the most exposed mucous membrane of the body
Conjunctiva
The conjunctiva is divided into
Palpebral conjunctivitis, conjunctival fornix, and bulbar conjunctivitis
The two layers of conjunctiva
Superficial and deep
Superficial layer of conjunctiva
Non ketatinizied epithelium with goblet cells
Deep layer of the conjunctiva
Substantial proprioception with lymphocytes and fibrous tissue
Acute pathological response to conductivity
Hyperemia, cellular exudates, chemosis, ocular discharge, blepharospsam
Chronic pathological response to conjunctivitis
Goblet cell, keratinaztion and follicle formation
Bacterial conductivities
Causes purulent discharge and conjutival hyperemia
Treat bacterial conjunctivitis
Broad spectrum topical antibiotic
Chronic allergic conjunctivitis presents as
Hyperemia and mucoid discharge
Cytology of chronic allergic conjunctivitis shows
Lymphocytes , plasma cells and eosinphils
Who do you treat chronic allergic conjunctivitis
Desensitization, topical or systemic antihistamine
Acute allergic conjunctivitis
Acute profuse chemosis and hyperemic eyelids
Treatment of acute allergic conjunctivitis
Systemic diphenhydramine and dex
Follicular conjunctivitis
Abnormal proliferation of lymphoid follicles that develop on conjunctiva secondary to antigenic stimulation
Follicular conjunctivitis is seen
Younger dogs - labs
Treat follicular conjunctivitis with what first
Dex
Most common mass on conjunctiva
NGE
Lacrimal gland is present on what side of third eyelid
Bulbar
What are teh functions of nicitans
