Anatomy 2 Flashcards
In lids near the junction of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva (Fornix)
Near goblet cells that secrete mucous
Glands of kraus and wolfring
Secretes tears
Lacrimal Gland
Secrete mucin and are found in the lid conjunctiva
Goblet Cells
Covers inner surface of the eyelids
Palpebral conjunctiva
Covers the anterior parts of sclera, globe to limbus
Bulbar Conjunctiva
lines inside of the eyelids and covers the sclera
helps lubricate the eye by producing tears and mucus
Conjunctiva
tears(precorneal tearfilm) 3 layers
Lipid/ Sebaceous - Fatty
Lacrimal/ Aqueous - Nutrients
Mucin/ Mucoid - Wetting and lubrication
Evaluates tear drainage system function. This test measures the length of time for fluorescein dye to appear inside the nose after being instilled in the cornea.
Jones test
how long is palpebral fissure (a lid opening)
30mm
…% of refraction takes place in the cornea
75
Average corneal thickness
THINNER in center and THICKER in periphery
0.53
zone of the cornea, largest in center
Also know as corneal cap
Apical zone
Zone of the cornea sized 4-6mm
Apical zone
Zone of the cornea between apical zone and the limbus
Transition Zone
Zone of the cornea near the periphery
Limbal Zone
depression around the cornea and divides the cornea from the sclera.
Sulcus
Outermost layer of the cornea that is 5-6 layers thick
Has 3 cell layers Squamous, Wing cell and basal layer
Epithelium
