anatomy 2 Flashcards
4 parasympathetic ganglia of head + neck
ciliary ganglion
pterygopalatine ganglion
otic ganglion
submandibular
synapse that occurs in ciliary ganglion
presynaptic parasympathetic fibres from inferior division of CN III
–>
postsynaptic short ciliary nerve
pathway of oculomotor (CNIII)
skull exit?
connects with CNS at junction of midbrain + pons
passes through cavernous sinus
exits via superior orbital fissure
splits into superior + inferior
where do the rectus muscles of the eye originate from? where do they insert into?
common tendinous ring
all insert into sclera
where do the superior + inferior oblique muscles of the eye originate from respectively? where do they insert into?
superior = sphenoid bone
inferior = orbital plate of maxilla
BOTH insert into sclera
where does levator palpebrae superioris originate from? where does it insert into?
originates from lesser wing of sphenoid
inserts onto skin + tarus of superior eyelid
innervation of extraocular muscles
LR6 SO4 AO3
lateral rectus = CNVI abducent
superior oblique = CNIV trochlear
all others = CNIII oculomotor
which part of the orbit is most prone to blowout fractures?
inferior (orbital flooe) + medial wall
fractures commonly occur at sutures forming orbital rim
name the muscle of the eyelid and its innervation
orbicularis oculi divided into - orbital + palpebral parts
CNVII
which muscle is responsible for tightly squeezing your eyes shut?
orbital part of orbicularis oculi
which muscle is responsible for gently closing your eyes shut?
palpebral part of orbicularis oculi
role of superior tarus muscle
open eye really wide
sympathetic innervation
role of tarsal gland
secretes lipids prevents tears (lacrimal fluid) overflowing (when being produced in normal amounts)
when does lacrimal fluid drain to?
inferior meatus via lacrimal puncta
location of lacrimal gland
superolaterally of orbit
parasympathetic (CN VII)
layers of the eye
outer = fibrous (sclera + cornea)
middle = uvea (vascular layer) -> iris, ciliary body, coroid
inner = retina (photosensitive)
