What 7 bones make up the orbit?
Frontal Zygomatic Sphenoid Ethmoid Lacrimal Palatine
What are the 5 bony feature of the orbit?
Orbital plates Optic canal Superior orbital fissure Supraorbital notch/foramen (branch of CNV1) Infraorbital foramen (branch CNV2)
Which cranial nerves pass through the superior orbital fissure?
CNIII (oculomotor)
CNIV (trochlea)
CNV1 (trigeminal, ophthalamic)
CNVI (abducens)
What muscle makes up the external part of the eyelid?
orbicularis oculi
What are the two parts of the orbicularis oculi?
Orbital (tight closure)
Palpebral (gentle closure)
What nerve controls the orbicularis oculi?
CNVII (facial)
What 6 connective tissues make up the deeper part of the eyelid?
Tendon of levator palpebrae superioris Superior tarsus Inferior tarsus Medial palpebral ligament Lateral palpebral ligament Orbital septum
What is the function of the levator palpebrae superioris?
Elevates the upper eyelid
What muscle (adjoined to the levator palpebrae superioris) allows for extra widening of the eye?
Superior tarsus muscle (Mueller’s muscle)
What gland is responsible for lipid secretion that lines the eyelids?
