A5 Eye Flashcards
Eyelids
Moveable folds covered externally by skin and internally by conjunctiva
Conjunctiva
transparent mucous membrane
Palpebral
covers the inner surface of the eyelid
bulbar
continuous with the palpebral conjunctiva and covers the sclera
contains blood vessels
conjunctival sac
space bounded by the palpebral and and bulbar conjunctiva
obicularis oculi
muscle around the eye the allows for facial expression
superior and inferior tarsi
dense band of connective tissue
tarsal glands
secretes lipids to lubricate the eyelid
lacrimal apparatus
contains the lacrimal gland, duct, and canaliculi
lacrimal gland
produces tears
lacrimal canaliculi
takes tears from the lacrimal lake to the lacrimal sac to the nasolacrimal duct to nasal cavity
lacrimal lake
pinkish yellow reservoir of tears
levator palpebrae superioris
raises the upper eyelid
oculomotor n. (CN III)
parasympathetic innervation to lacrimal apparatus
secretomotor innervation from CNVII
sympathetic innervation to the lacrimal apparatus
vasoconstrictive innervation from superior cervical ganglion
Name the extra ocular rectus muscles
superior rectus
inferior rectus
medial rectus
lateral rectus
Name the extra ocular oblique muscles
superior oblique
inferior oblique
innervation of the rectus muscles
oculomotor n. (CN III)
abducent n. (CN VI) - innervates the lateral recuts
innervation of the oblique muscles
IO - oculomotor n. (CNIII)
SO - trochlear n. (IV)
There is movement around three axes. What are they?
vertical
transverse
anteroposterior
Vertical movement of the eye
moves the eye medially and laterally
aka ABduction/ADDuction
Transverse movement of the eye
moves the eye superiorly and inferiorly
AKA elevation/depression
