What bone separates the two orbits?
Ethmoid Bone
What forms the medial walls of each orbit?
Sides of Ethmoid Bone
What angle are the lateral walls at?
90
Right Angle
The Axes of the orbits diverge at what degree?
45
What axes are for sight?
Optical Axes
Are the Optical Axes parallel or perpendicular?
Parallel
What are the functions of the orbits?
Contain- eyeball and accessory organs
Guard- protect eyeball
What are the 6 accessory structures of the orbit?
- Eyelid
- Extraocular M
- Nerves and Vessels
- Orbital Fascia
- Mucous Membrane
- Orbit Fat
Number or walls, bases and apex of Orbit?
4 Walls
1 Base
1 Apex
What is the base of the Orbit?
Orbit Margin is the outline of the base
The margin is strong because of its thickness
What is the Superior Wall of the Orbit?
Formed by the Orbital Part of the Frontal Bone and Lesser Wing of Sphenoid Bone
Separates the orbit from the anterior cranial fossa
What is the Fossa for the Lacrimal gland? Where is it located in relation to the Superior wall of the orbit?
It is a shallow impression
Located anterolaterally to the Superior Wall of the Orbit
What is the Medial Wall of the Orbit?
Formed by the Frontal, Lacrimal, Ethmoid, and Sphenoid bones (from front to back)
What structures are on or next to the Medial Wall?
Ethmoid Sinuses are next to this wall
The Lacrimal Groove, Fossa and sac are on this wall
What is the Inferior Wall of the Orbit?
Formed by the Maxilla, Zygomatic and Palatine Bones
What divides the Inferior Wall from the Lateral Wall of the Orbit?
Inferior Orbital Fissure
What is the Lateral Wall of the Orbit?
Formed by the Frontal Process of the Zygomatic Bone and Greater WIng of the Sphenoid Bone
This wall is easily injured
What is the Apex of the Orbit?
At the Optic Canal on the lesser wing of the Sphenoid Bone
What is the function of the eyelid?
Protect eyeballs from irritating strong light and dust with help from the lacrimal fluid
What is the function of Extraocular Muscle?
Move eyeballs and eyelids
What is the function of Nerves and Vessels of the orbit?
To supply nutrition
What is the function of the Orbital Fascia?
Protect eyeballs and muscles
What is the funciton of the Mucous Membrane?
Lubricate the eyeballs
What is the function of Orbit Fat?
Matrix for eyeballs
