Q

describe the pathway of lacrimal fluid

A

lacrimal gland produces lacrimal fluid
parasympathetic (CN VII)

wash over eye

pushed towards medial angle

drains through lacrimal puncta

eventually reaches inferior meatus

Q

where do all parasympathetic axons leave the CNS via?

A

CN III, VII, IX & X and via sacral spinal nerves

17
Q

describe the pathway of CN III

A

Connects with CNS at junction of midbrain and pons

Passes through cavernous sinus

Exits via superior orbital fissure

Somatic motor to majority of extraocular muscles

Presynaptic parasympathetic axons to the ciliary ganglion

Splits into 2 divisions - Superior & Inferior

18
Q

where do all of the rectus and oblique muscles insert into?

A

the sclera

19
Q

does lateral rectus work for close up or distance vision?

A

distance vision
