Q

describe the corneal reflex

A
  • involuntary blinking of eyelids, stimulated by tactile, thermal or painful stimulation of cornea
  • CNV1 is the afferent branch - conducts APs from the cornea to the trigeminal ganglion, it then goes along CNV to pons
  • there are central CNS connections between CNV and CNVII, which is the motor efferent branch
  • causes contraction of orbicularis oculi

Q

describe the parasympathetic innervation with ciliary ganglion

A

preganglionic fibres originate from Edinger-Westphal nucleus in midbrain and run with CNIII (inferior division) to relay in ciliary ganglion

22
Q

vestibulo-ocular reflex

A

stabilizes gaze on an object during head movement by turning the eyes in the opposite direction of the head

involves connections between CN VIII and CNIII, IV and VI

23
Q

oculocardiac reflex

A

reflex bradycardia in response to tension on extraocular muscles/pressure on eye

CNS connections betwen CNV1 and CNX

24
Q

does sympathetic innervation cause one to focus on far or near objects

A

far

parasympathetic - near

25
Q

reflex lacrimation arc

A
  • afferent: CNV1 innervates the cornea
  • efferent: lacrimal gland under parasympathetic CNVII innervation to produce lacrimal fluid
    • function is to wash away stimulant foreign body and clean the cornea*
26
Q

how are eyes opened really wide in fight/flight situations

A

LPS contains skeletal and smooth muscle

the LPS is innervated by CNIII (parasympathetic) and raises the eyelid

the superior tarsus is innervated by the sympathetic nervous system and so can act to open the eye even wider??

27
Q

mydiatric agent

A

drug that induces dilation of the pupil

28
Q

what is a non-physiologically enlarged pupil called

A

a mydiatric pupil

29
Q

dilator pupillae fibres

A

dilator pupillae fibres are innervated by sympathetic nervous system - when stimulated contract and widen the pupil

the fibre originate around the external circumference of the iris (fixed) and insert around the internal circumference of the iris (mobile)

30
Q

how are the dilator pupillae fibres arranged

A

radially

31
Q

pupillary constriction

A

parasympathetics - the sphincter pupillae encircles the pupil around the internal circumference of the iris

stimulation by short ciliary nerve results in constriction of the pupil

32
Q

what is a non-physiologically constricted pupil called

A

miotic pupil

33
Q

what drugs can cause miosis

A

opiates

34
Q

what is a fixed dilated (‘blown’) pupil often a sign of

A

CNIII pathology

35
Q

pupillary light reflex - afferent and efferent nerves

A

special sensory (afferent) nerve is ipsilateral CNII

motor (efferent) nerve is bilateral CNIII

a direct light reflex occurs in the stimulated eye and a consensual light reflex occur in the non-stimualted eye

36
Q

pupillary light reflex

A

4 neuron chains

1. retinal ganglion cells are stimulated and pass via ipsilateral CNII, cross optich chiasma and synapse in pretectal nucleus in the mid brain

2. neurons (bilateral) in midbrain connect pretectal nucleus to next synapse in Edinger-Westphal nucleus

3. neurons (bilateral) pass from EW nucleus via CNIII, inferior division and to synapse at ciliary ganglion

4. short ciliary nerves to sphincter pupillae muscles - constriction

37
Q

Edinger- Westphal nucleus

A

location of cell bodies of parasympathetic axons of CNIII

38
Q

where is the lens of the eye located

A

anteriorly between vitreous humour and pupil

shape is altered by ciliary body - changing it’s refractory power

39
Q

suspensory ligament of the lens

A

connects the circumferences of lens and ciliary body

40
Q

contraction of ciliary muscle

A

contracts in parasympathetics, allows near vision as the ligament relaxes and lens becomes more spherical to focus on closer objects

41
Q

relaxation of ciliary muscle

A

ligament tightens and the lens flattens to allow focus on objects in the distance

42
Q

accomodation reflex

A

response of the eye to looking at near objects:

  • bilateral pupillary constriction (parasympathetic of sphincter pupillae)
  • bilateral convergence of both eyes towards the midline (medial rectus)
  • bilateral relaxation of the lens (spherical due to contraction of ciliary muscles)
  • All innervated by CNIII*
43
Q

importance of basal tears

A

important in corneal health as they clean and nourish and hydrate the avascular cornea

contain lysosome which is an enzyme that hydrolyses bacterial cell walls

44
Q

reflex tears

A

extra tears in response to mechanical/chemical stimulation

  • afferent limb is CNV1 from cornea/conjunctiva
  • efferent limb is parasympathetic axons originating from CNVII
45
Q

which foramen does CNVII pass through on the temporal bone

A

stylomastoid foramen

46
Q

which nerve supplies the stapedius

A

CNVII

47
Q

where does CNVII exit the cranial cavity

A

internal acoustic meatus

48
Q

chorda tympani branch of CNVII

A

carries parasympathetic axons for submandibular and sublingual glands

49
Q

nerve for sensory component of lacrimal gland

A

CNV1 (after V2)

50
Q

what is Horner’s syndrome often a result of

A

impaired sympathetic innervation to the head and neck - sympathetic trunk may be compressed

51
Q

CNIII palsy

A

eye is positioned down and out with ptosis

52
