anatomy of the eye and orbit Flashcards
3 coats of the eye
fibrous
vascular
sensory
what is the fibrous coat made from
and what structures are included in it
collagen
sclera and cornea
whats included in vascular coat x3
iris
ciliary body
choriod
whats included in sensory coat
retina
whats the ora serrata
serrated edge of retina
type of collagen in parts of fibrous coat
sclera- irregular and thick
cornea- uniform and fine
what part of the eyeball do muscles attatch to
sclera
what suspends the lens
and produces AH
ciliary body
what does the choriod do
Supplies blood to outer layers of retina
ant vs post segment position and liquid type
anterior segment- infront of lens and contains Aqueous Humor(AH) which is WATERY
posterior segment- behind lens and contains Vitreous Humor(VH) which is a GEL
what attaches lense to ciliary body
zonules
purpose of AH and VH
AH- maintains intraocular pressure
VH- cushions retina
further chambers in anterior segment
where they sit
Anterior chamber (AC) in front of iris
Posterior chamber (PC) behind iris but in front of the lens
route of AH:
what helps with drainage
where is it absorbed, what angle
where is it absorbed to
trabecular meshwork
in canal of schlem at angle of anterior chamber
veins
what gland is found in eyelid
and what is it encapsulated by
meibomian gland
in tarsal plate
what is the conjuctiva
thin vascular membrane that covers inner surface of eyelids and loops back over sclera
DOES NOT COVER CORNEA
