Q

where is the cavernous sinus

outer fiberous
vascular middle
inner layer

32
Q

the anterior part of the outer fiberous layer of the eye is called

A

cornea

33
Q

the posterior part of the outer fiberous layer of the eye is called

A

sclera

34
Q

both the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye are located where

A

infront of the lens

35
Q

how do the anterior and posteror chambers of the eye communicate

A

pupil

36

cornea
aqueus humor
lens
vitrous humor 
retina
37
Q

is the cornea vascularized

A

no, it is avascular!!

38
Q

what is located in the cornal limbus

A

canal of schlem

39
Q

the sclera corneal junction is called …

A

the canal of schlem

40
Q

what 3 things make up the middle layer of the eye

A

choroid, ciliary body, iris

41
Q

the thickend portion of the vascular coat between teh choroid and the iris is called

A

cilliary body

42
Q

what kind of muscle is the cirillary muscle

A

smooth muscle , it controls the convexity of the lens

43
Q

what is the most important function of the cilliary process

A

it secretes aqeous humor

44
Q

what kind of fibers innervate the ciliary body

A

parasympathetic

45
Q

are the muscles used to dialate the iris somatic or autonomic

A

autonomic

46
Q

dialator pupilae is done by..

A

sympathetic

47
Q

constrictor pupillae is done by ..

A

parasympathetic

48
Q

iris

49
Q

what produces aquous humor

A

cilliary body epithelium

50
Q

aqueous humor is produced in which chamber

A

posterior . From the posterior chamber it goes to the anterior chamber thru the pupil .

51
Q

where is aqeous humor absorbed

A

in the canal of schlem

52
Q

incrased intracraininal pressure leads to what

A

optic cupping

53
Q

optic cupping is a feature of what

raised intraoccular pressure

54
Q

how do you tell the difference between raised intraoccular pressure and raised intracrainial pressure
