Q

Describe the eyelids

A

Skin on outside and mucus membrane called conjunctivae on inside
Eyelashes with sebaceous glands
Muscles, hard palate to keep shape and oil secretory glands for tear film

22
Q

What are the oily secretory glands of the eyelids called?

A

Meibomian glands

23
Q

What are the muscles of the eyelids?

A

Orbicularis oculi
LPS - levator palpebrae superioris

24
Q

Where is the conjunctiva?

A

Is transparent - Covers surface of inner eyelids and loops back over the sclera
Not cover the cornea

25
Q

Describe the lacrimal apparatus

A

Lacrimal gland is situated on orbit laterally and ducts open into conjunctival sac
During each blink eyelids spread tears evenly on surface of cornea
Tears drain into punctae sitting over lacrimal bone where its reabsorbed
Drain through nasolacrimal duct into inferior meatus of nasal cavity

26
Q

What is the nerve control of the lacrimal gland?

A

Parasympathetic - facial nerve

27
Q

What are the 2 types of ocular muscles?

A

Intrinsic (start and end in the eyeball) - control pupil diameter and helps alter lens curvature to enable to see
Extrinsic - move the eye

28
Q

What are the intrinsic muscles of the eye?

A

Ciliaris muscle and constrictor pupillae - parasympathetic
Dilator pupillae - sympathetic

29
Q

What are the 6 extrinsic muscles of the eye?

A

4 straight - medial, lateral, inferior, superior rectus
2 oblique - superior and inferior oblique

30
Q

Where do the extrinsic muscles arise from?

A

Recti muscles - from apex of orbit from an annular fibrous ring
Superior oblique - roof of orbit posteriorly
Inferior oblique - floor of oblique anteriorly

31
Q

What nerves supply the muscles of the eye?

A

Trochlear nerve supplies the SO
Abducent nerve supplies the LR (lateral retcus)
Everything else is the oculomotor nerve

32
Q

What is the origin and insertion of the LPS?

A

Origin - roof of orbit
Insertion - upper eyelid

33
Q

What is the origin and insertion of the recti muscles?

A

Origin - tendinous ring
Insertion - sclera anteriorly

34
Q

What is the origin an insertion of the inferior and superior obliques?

A

SO - origin is lesser wing of sphenoid and inserts in sclera posteriorly
IO - origin is medial part of orbit floor and inserts in sclera posteriorly

35
Q

Describe the function of the optic nerve in the eyeball

A

Carries visual impulses from the eyeball and leaves through the optic foramen

36
Q

Describe the oculomotor nerve

A

Supplies all muscles going to eye except 2 and also supplies levator muscle of the eyelid
Carrie parasympathetic fibres which synapse at ciliary ganglion in orbit

37
Q

What are some branches of the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve?

A

Nasociliary nerve
Frontal branch - largest branch
Lacrimal branch - smallest branch

38
Q

Describe the ophthalmic artery

A

Large branch of ICA
Supplies all structures in the orbit and also branches to nasal cavities and forehead
Enters through the optic foramen with optic nerve

39
Q

Where does the central retinal artery supply?

A

Supplies inner layers of retina
Travels within substance of optic nerve

40
Q

Where does the short posterior ciliary arteries supply?

A

Posterior part of the choroid and outer retina

41
Q

Where does the long posterior ciliary arteries supply?

A

The anterior choroid ciliary body and iris

42
Q

Describe an ophthalmoscope

A

Fundus picture
Can see optic disc - start of optic nerve and physiological blind spot
4 quadrants - superonasal, inferonasal, supero-temporal, infero-temporal

43
Q

Describe venous drainage of the eye

A

Superior and inferior ophthalmic veins which drain into cavernous sinus - posterior to apex of orbit

44
Q

What are the cavernous sinus contents?

A

Loop of internal carotid artery and nerves
Beside pituitary gland
Layers of dura mater covered by endothelium

45
Q

What does the eye develop from?

A

Neurectodermal

46
Q

Where do optic vesicles grow out from?

A

From diencephalic part of neural tube towards surface ectoderm

47
Q

Describe the formation of the optic vesicles

A

Reach surface ectoderm - cells of surface ectoderm thicken - lens placode
Lens placode pushes inwards causing optic vesicle to form an optic cup - 2 layers

48
Q

Describe the lens vesicle and optic cup

A

Lens vesicle looses connection with surface ectoderm
Choroid fissure forms as blood vessels pass through fissure in inferior wall of optic cup

49
Q

What does surface ectoderm form?

A

Eyelids, conjuctiva, corneal epithelium

50
Q

What does mesenchyme form?

A

Forms choroid, stroma of cornea, sclera and extraocular muscles

51
Q

What does lens fibres form?

A

Epithelium of lens vesicle and later loose their nuclei
