3) Ophthalmic branch of CN V
4) Abducens (CN VI)
if affected- cavernous sinus syndrome
Refers to deficits in more than one of the cranial nerves III, IV, V, and VI, as they are in close association in this region (floor of of calvarium where they leave the orbital fissure

With Cavernous Sinus Syndrome, what cranial nerves can be damaged
1) Oculomotor Nerve (CN III)
2) Trochlear (CN IV)
3) Ophthalmic branch of CN V
4) Abducens (CN VI)
all leave the orbital fissure
What opening in the skull is assoiated with cavernous sinus syndrome
orbital fissure
What passes through the rostral alar foramen
Maxillary artery
Maxillary branch of CN V
What muscles open the eyelids
1) Levator palpebrae superioris m. (skeletal)
2) Mullers muscle (smooth muscle under sympathetic control)
A structural muscle that elevates the upper eyelid. It’s innervated by the sympathetic nervous system
Mullers muscle
What muscle closes the eyelids
Orbicularis oculi muscle (skeletal muscle)
A test that used to detect obstruction of the nasolacrimal ducts
Jones Test
What drains tears into the nose
Nasolacrimal duct
What is the function of meibomian glands
produce oily components of the lipid layer of the tear film, with these components being secreted along the margins of the eyelids. The lipid layer of the tear film facilitates smooth blinking and attenuates the evaporation of lacrimal fluid
mucous membrane that lines the eyelids and the globe
produces mucoid portion of tear film
has lymphoid tissue
conjunctiva
What produces the mucoid portion of the tear film
conjunctiva
What produces 65-70% of liquid tears
Lacrimal gland
where is the lacrimal gland located
above the eye
a t-shaped piece of cartilage that produces 30-35% of liquid tears
third eyelids
What is a common site for foreign bodies in the eye?
conjunctival fornix
What extra-ocular muscle rotates the top of eye ventronasally
dorsal oblique
What extra-ocular muscle rotates the bottom of the eye dorso-nasally
ventral oblique
What muscle pulls the eye backwards, not present in humans
Retractor bulbi
What are the three layers that make up the globe
1) Fibrous tunic (cornea and sclera)
2) Vascular tunic (iris, ciliary body, choroid)
3) Nervous tunic (retina and optic nerve)
What 2 structures are a part of the nervous tunic of the globe
1) Retina
2) Optic nerve
What 3 structures are a part of the vascular tunic of the globe
1) Iris
2) Ciliary body
3) Choroid
What 2 structures are a part of the fibrous tunic of the globe
1) Cornea
2) Sclera
Anterior uveitis means inflammation of the
iris and ciliary body
posterior uveitis means inflammation of the
choroid
T/F: Cornea and sclera are made of different materials
False - same collagen, differ on their arrangements
Sclera- opaque collagen
Cornea- fibers perfectly arranged allows light to pass through
What species have cartilaginous plates in their sclera
reptiles and fish
What species have bone in their sclera
birds
the point in the fibrous tunic where the cornea meets the sclera
limbus
Is fluorescein stain hydrophobic or hydrophilic
hydrophilic
What layer of the eye does Herpes attack
the epithelium of the cornea- replicates fast
Is the epithelium of the cornea hydrophilic or hydrophobic
hydrophobic
What kind of epithelium does the cornea have
columnar and becomes keratinized squamous cells
What part of the cornea absorbs the stain in corneal ulcers
Stroma (it is hydrophilic) and the fluorescein stain is hydrophilic
T/F: fluorescein stain stains the epithelium of the cornea
False
Fluorescein is a water-soluble dye; owing to its lipid insolubility, it does not penetrate intact corneal epithelium. Epithelial erosions or ulcers, which expose the hydrophilic stroma, allow penetration and retention of the dye.
Is Descemets membrane hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
Descemet’s membrane is hydrophobic. It’s a thick, dense, relatively transparent, and cell-free matrix that separates the corneal stroma from the endothelium.
Does not take up fluorescein stain
What is the function of the corneal endothelium
transports water from the stroma into the anterior chamber
What makes the cornea clear
1) Regularity of the collagen fibers (compared to the sclera)
2) Very low cellularity
3) Lack of blood and lymph vessels
4) Relative dehydration
-stroma is hydrophilic (sponge)
-epithelium is hydrophobic barrier
-endothelium actively pumps fluid out of cornea
Why is it challenging to deliver drugs to the cornea
relative dehydration
-stroma is hydrophilic (sponge)
-epithelium is hydrophobic barrier
-endothelium actively pumps fluid out of cornea
What 3 structures make it so the cornea is relatively dehydrated
-stroma is hydrophilic (sponge)
-epithelium is hydrophobic barrier
-endothelium actively pumps fluid out of cornea
How many corneal layers do fish have
2
Scleral cornea
Dermal cornea
a scale that covers the eye of the snake
normally shed when the skin is shed
part of cornea
spectacle
What species is corneal vascularization normal in
big horn sheep and manatees
T/F: Descemetocele stains fluorescein
False- it is hydrophobic
How does superficial corneal pathology differ from deeper corneal pathology
Superficial: see branching vascularization
Deep: see dense vessels (hedge bush appearance) tells that you are concerned with a deeper issue like uveitis
What two features of the cornea bends light into the eye
1) Angle of incidence (curvature of cornea)
2) Density of the medium (tear film) bends the light
What does LASIK surgery do
uses a laser to change the curvature of the cornea
helps for near sighted patients because it is easier to decrease the curvature than it is to increase the curvature
a fluid filled space between the cornea and lens
Anterior chamber
what maintains the shape of the globe
aqueous humor in the anterior chamber
ultra filtrate that carries nutrients for the lens and cornea
maintains shape of globe
anterior chamber
the colorful part of the eye

what regulates the amount of light that enters the eye
controlled by iris sphicter and dilator muscles
size of the pupil
a ___________ pupil allows a more precise image to be focused on the retina
smaller
