16
Q

What are the parts of the orbicularis oculi? What nerve innervates it?

A

Orbital – voluntary: closes the lids and lowers the brow
Palpebral – involuntary: blink
Lacrimal (Horner’s muscle) – moves tears
Ciliary (muscle of Riolan) – maintains lid apposition (next to eye)

7th (facial) nerve

17
Q

What are the glands of the anterior lamella?

A

Glands of Zeiss- sebaceous
Glands of Moll- Sweat

18
Q

What are the glands of the posterior lamella?

A

Meibomian glands- sebaceous
Accessory lacrimal glands- aqueous portion of tears

19
Q

Describe sensory innervate on to eyebrow and eyelids.

A

Through CN5
V1 innervates upper eyelids, nose, medial forehead
V2 innervates lateral eyelid, cheek, upper lip
V3 innervates lateral forehead, part of ear, lower cheek, lower lip

20
Q

Arterial lid vasculature

A

Peripheral arcade- ICA
Marginal arcade- ECA
Highly vascularized supplies by internal and external

21
Q

Venous lid vasculature

A

Outer- jugular
Inner- ophthalmic, cavernous sinus

22
Q

Superfical lid lymphatics

A

Drain skin and orbicularis

23
Q

Deep lid lymphatics

A

Drain tarsal plate and conjunctiva

Eventually drains into superfical parotid nodes and submandibular nodes

24
Q

Motor lid innervation

A

Open lid – III to levator
Close lid – VII to orbicularis

25
Q

Sensory lid innervation

A

V1 to upper lid (lacrimal, supra-orbital, supratrochlear)
V1 (lacrimal) and V2 (infraorbital) to lower lid
V1 (infratrochlear) to medial commissure

26
Q

Autonomic lid innervation

A

Open lid – sympathetic to Muller muscle

27
Q

What is the purpose of the structure surrounding the eyeball?

A

Maintains eye position keeping it controlled as you look around.

28
Q

Describe tenon’s capsule (fascia bulbi).

A

Envelope of connective tissue
Protection
Attachment of EOM’s
Fuses with optic nerve sheath posteriorly
Intermuscular septum anteriorly

29
Q

Describe what surrounds the eyeball from the outside in.

A

Outer
Bulbar conjunctiva
Tenon’s capsule (from optic nerve to limbus)
Episclera
Sclera
Inner

30
Q

What are the purposes of check ligaments and the suspensory ligaments?

A

Check ligaments prevent eyeball from overshooting
Suspensory ligaments expends from lateral to medial check ligaments, prevent the eyeball from uncontrollable movement.

31
Q

Describe the orbital septum.

A

Supports the lid
Membranous fibrous sheet
Separates the lid and the fat that fills the orbit

32
Q

Describe the tarsal plates.

A

Maintains firmness and shape of lid
Dense fibrous connective tissue
Superiorly 10-11mm; inferiorly 5mm
