what bones are involved in bony orbit
frontal bone orbital plate, zygoma, maxillary, lacrimal, ethmoid orbital plate, sphenoid
what bone forms the roof of bony orbit
frontal bone orbital plate
what bone forms the lateral wall of bony orbit
zygoma
what bone forms the floor of bony orbit
maxillary
what bones form the medial wall of bony orbit
lacrimal and ethmoid orbital plate
what bone forms the posterior wall of bony orbit
sphenoid
what bony feature is present in the frontal bone
supraorbital notch
what bony feature is present in the maxilla
infraorbital foramen
where is the superior orbital fissure
greater wing of sphenoid
where is the inferior orbital fissure
sphenoid bone and maxilla
where is the optic canal
lesser wing of sphenoid
what muscle is responsible for closing the eye
orbicularis oculi
what is the orbital septum
sheet of fascia in eyelids
what is the function of the tarsal/Meibomian glands
secrete lipids
where are the tarsal/Meibomian glands
inside tarsal plate in eyelid
what are the names of the two palpebral ligaments of the eyelid
medial and lateral palpebral ligaments
what are the superior and inferior tarsus
dense connective tissue in eyelid that provide structure
what are the two parts of the conjunctiva
palpebral conjunctiva inside eyelids
bulbar conjunctiva on eye
what structures can be seen from looking at the eye
pupil, iris, limbus, sclera, conjunctiva, conjunctival vessels, fornix, caruncle, inferior lacrimal papilla
what is the fornix
where the bulbar and palpebral conjunctiva meet
what is the limbus
junction of cornea and sclera
what is the caruncle
red bit medially on eye
what nerve is responsible for lacrimation
CNVII facial nerve
what is the direction of lacrimal fluid drainage
puncta > canaliculi > lacrimal sac > nasolacrimal duct > inferior meatus
what are names of the segments of the eye
anterior and posterior
what are the names of the chambers of the eye
anterior, posterior and vitreous
where is the anterior chamber
cornea to iris
where is the posterior chamber
iris to suspensory ligament
what type of humour is present in each segment of the eye
anterior: aqueous
posterior: vitreous
where is the posterior segment
behind the lens
what are the names of the 3 layers of the eye
fibrous, vascular, retina
what is the blood supply to the cornea
avascular
what is the fibrous layer of the eye formed of
sclera and cornea
what is the thickest layer of the cornea
stroma
what is the innermost layer of the cornea
endothelium
what is the outer layer of the cornea
columnar epithelium
what is the function of the suspensory ligament
connects the lens to the ciliary body via zonules
how to tell left or right eye on fundoscopy
optic disc always nasal
what is the vascular layer of composed of
uvea
what is uvea
iris, ciliary body and choroid
what are the muscles or the iris and what direction are their fibres
inner circular sphincter pupillae and outer radial dilator pupillae
what is the ciliary body formed of
smooth muscle and blood vessels
what structure secrete aqueous
ciliary body
what is the function of the ciliary body
controls iris/lens shape
what structures are within the optic disc
optic nerve head, central retinal artery, central retinal vein
where is the highest concentration of cones
in the fovea in the macula
what are the two types of photoreceptors
rods and cones
what is the function of choroid
proves nutrition to the peripheral part of the retina
what causes the blind spot
no photoreceptors in the optic disc
