Anatomy Flashcards
Orbicularis Occuli
Orbital margin
Optic canal
Superior orbital fissure
Inferior orbital fissure
Lacrimal groove
Iris
What is the iris covered with?
The cornea
What is the corneoscleral junction also known as?
The limbus
What are the three layers of the eye?
- Outer fibrous layer
- Uvea
- The retina
Name the two parts of the fibrous layer of the eye and their function
- The sclera. Protects the eye and acts as an attachment for extraocular muscles
- The cornea. Provides 2/3rds of the refractive power
Name the 3 parts of the uvea and their function
- The iris. Controls pupil diameter
- The ciliary body. Controls the iris, the shape of the lens and the secretion of aqueous humour
- The choroid. Nutrition and gaseous exchange for the other layers.
What does the opthalmic artery travel through to reach the orbit?
The optic canal
Superior rectus muscle
Lateral rectus muscle
Medial rectus muscle
Inferior rectus muscle
Superior oblique muscle
Inferior oblique
Trochlea
What numbered cranial nerve is the optic nerve?
CN II
What is the area in the eye of most actue vision? Why is this?
The fovea centralis in the macula. This is where there is the greatest density of cones.
What “end artery” supplies the eye?
The central artery of the retina
What four veins does blood from the orbit drain into?
Forehead vein(s)
Superior opthalmic vein
Facial vein
Inferior opthalmic vein
What is the only point of entry into/exit out of the reti afor blood vessels and optic nerve axons?
Optic disc
Name the three layers of the retina, from posterior to anterior
- Photoreceptors
- The ganglion cells
- The axons of the ganglionc cells
Why is the optic disc a “blind spot”?
There are no photoreceptors
Where is the light from objects in the right visual field processed?
The left primary visual cortex
Where do all the rectus muscles insert into?
The sclera, just posterior to the cornea
What nerve gives somatic motor innervation to the lateral rectus muscle?
Abducent nerve (CN VI)
What nerve gives somatic motor innervation to the superior oblique muscle?
Trochlear nerve (CN IV)
What nerve gives somatic motor innervation ot all of the eye muscles except from the lateral rectus and the superior oblique?
Occulomotor
Internal carotid arteries
What bony opening do cranial nerves III, IV and V pass through?
Superior orbital fissure
What artery lies within the cavernous sinus?
Internal carotid
What are the purple arrows at the oottom of this picture showing?
