Q

3 parts of the vascular part

A

-iris (changes the amount of light let through),
-ciliary body (secretes aqueous humor and suspends the lens)
-Choroid ( supplies blood to the outer layers of the retina)

Q

why is cornea transparent?

A

Because all the collagen fibres are alligned in the same direction, to let light through)

Q

Post vs anterior segment and filled with

A

Posterior segment is veerything behind the lens, flled with vitreous Humor (VH)

Q

WHat is the conjunctiva?

A

mucous membrane undreneath the eyelid, loops back over to the sclera but doesn’t cover the cornea

19
Q

What is the tarsal plate? What mebibomian glands do what?

A

Hard plat in the eyelid that helps the eye to keep its shape and contains the Meibomian glands which secrete oily substance which helps the tear film not to dry out

20
Q

WHere is the fornix?

A

It is the mucous membrane (conjunctva) at the part it turns back on itself

21
Q

Does he conjunctiva cover the cornea?

A

NO!!!

22
Q

What does the lacrimal gland do?

A

Secretes tears/fluid over the eye to lubricate

23
Q

Extrinsic vs intrinsic muscles of the eye

A

Extrinsic muscles - on the outside of the eye and help with eye movement

Intrinsic muscles - within and help change lens shape etc

24
Q

What are the 3 intrinsic muscles of the eye? What do they do?

A

Cilliaris - focusses on near objects)
Constrictor - circular muscle , constricts
Dilator - dilates duh

If it begins with C, its cranial nerve 3 (parasympathetic innervation)

Dilator supplied by sympathetic plexuss (around the blood vessels)

25
Q

What are the 6 extrinsic ocular muscles? (4 and 2)

A

4 retus’s (straigh muscles)
Superior rectus, inferiot rectus, lateral rectus and medial rectus.

2 oblique - superior and inferior

26
Q

What does the lps do?

A

levator palpable superioris - opens the eyelid. Orbicularis oculi closes the eye

27
Q

Innervation of the muscles of the eye

A

Superior orbital = trochlea (the superior orbital has a trochlear (pully thing)

Lateral rectus = an abductor = Abducent nerve

Everything else = Oculomotor (III) nerve

28
Q

4 cranial nerve that go to the orbit

A

trochlear (IV)
abducent (VI)
oculomotor (III)
optic (II)

29
Q

Entry of cranial nerves in the orbit

A

Optic (II) = Optic foramen
Superior orbital fissure = Abducent (VI), Trochlear (IV) and Oculomotor (III)

30
Q

General sensory nerve of the face

A

Trigeminal

31
Q

How does CN V 1 and V2 into the ee

A

V1 is sensory above, V2 is sensory below

32
Q

Arterial supply of the orbit

A

Opthalmic artery (banch of internal carotid)

33
Q

Central retinal artery - enters where? Branch of what?

A

2nd branch of opthalmic artery, enters with the optic nerve

34
Q

Branches 3,4,5 do what?

A

Supply the outer retina (post. part of Choroid)

35
Q

branch 6 - lomh posterorior artery supplies what?

A

anterior choroid, ciliary body and iris

36
Q

7,8 what about 9

A

7,8 are the anterior and posterior ethmoidal arteries

9 = muscular arteries

37
Q

What are the supplies of the inner and outer retinas

A

inner retina = 2nd branch (central retinal artery)

outer retina = short posterior ciliary arteries

38
Q

qudrants of the retina

A

Nasal and temporal superior and inferior around the optic blind spot (where the optic nerve comes in)

39
Q

What are thicker on a fundus picture, arteries or veins?

A

veins (more blood in)

40
Q

Venous drainage of the eye

A

Superior and inferior opthalmic veins drain into the cavernous sinus

41
Q

What does the eye drvelop from?

A

ectoderm (Neural tube)

42
Q

What froms the optic vesicles?

A

from dienecephalic part of neural tube

43
Q

What thickens to form the lens placode? What does the that then form?

A

Optic vesicles thicken to fromt he lens placode, which then push in to form the optic cup

44
Q

What is formed from the a)Surface ectoderm b) Mesenchyme and c) Les fibres

A

a) eyelids, conjunctiva, corneal epithelium
b) choroid, stroma or cornea, sclera and extraocular muscles
c) epithelium of lens vesicle and later loose their nuclei
