B7-093 Eye and Orbit Anatomy Flashcards
what structures pass though the optic canal? [2]
CN II
opthalamic artery
what structures pass through the superior orbital fissure?
CN III, IV, V1, and VI pass through here
the optic canal and superior orbital fissure are located in the […] bone
sphenoid
what structures pass through the inferior orbital fissure?
infraorbital artery and nerve
sinus located superior to the orbit
frontal
sinus located inferior to the orbit
maxillary
sinus located medial to the orbit [2]
ethmoid
sphenoid (more posterior)
what walls of the orbit are most susceptible to orbital blow out fractures? [2]
medial
inferior
orbital contents may prolapse into the […] sinus after a blow out fracture
maxillary
inferior rectus muscle can become entrapped
a patient with an orbital blow out fracture can not move the affected eye up. Why?
inferior rectus is entrapped in the maxillary sinus
movements of the pupil around the vertical axis [2]
abduction or adduction
movements of the pupil around the horizontal axis
elevation
depression
movements of the pupil around the AP axis
intorsion (medial rotation)
extorsion (lateral rotation)
opens the eye
levator palpebrae superioris (via CN III)
closes the eye
orbicularis oculi (via CN VII)
what CN closes the eye?
CN VII
what CN opens the eye?
CN III
innervates superior oblique muscle
CN IV
innervates the lateral rectus muscle
CN VI
abducts the eyeball
lateral rectus
adducts the eyeball
medial rectus
depresses, adducts, and rotates the eyeball laterally
inferior rectus
elevates, adducts and rotates the eye medially
superior rectus
abducts, elevates, and laterally rotates the eyeball
inferior oblique
abducts, depresses, and medially rotates the eyeball
superior oblique
elevates superior eyelid
levator palpebrae
[…] rectus elevates the eyeball
superior
[…] rectus depresses the eyeball
inferior
[…] oblique depresses the eyeball
superior
[…] oblique elevates the eyeball
inferior
both superior and inferior rectus are […]
adductors
both superior and inferior obliques are […]
abductors
the two muscles that have inferior in the name are […] rotators
lateral
the two muscles that have superior in the name are […] rotators
medial
what two muscles elevate the eye [2]
superior rectus
inferior oblique
what two muscles depress the eye [2]
superior oblique
inferior rectus
testing elevation in the abducted position isolates […]
superior rectus
(inferior oblique is trapped)
testing depression in the abducted position isolates […]
inferior rectus
(superior oblique is trapped)
testing depression in the adducted position isolates […]
superior oblique
(inferior rectus is trapped)
testing elevation in the adducted position isolates […]
inferior oblique
(superior rectus is trapped)
sensation from medial orbit to vertex of head
supratrochlear n.
sensation from lateral orbit to vertex of head
supraorbital n.
picks up sensation from orbit during infection
lacrimal n.
supratrochlear and supraorbital are sensation as well
innervate the nasal cavity and nasal septum [2]
anterior ethmoidal n.
posterior ethmoidal n.
anterior ethmoidal n. and posterior ethmoidal n. arise from
nasocilliary n.
sensation to the medial corner of eye
infratrochlear n.
provide sensation to the cornea and sclera
long and short cilliary n.
innervates superior oblique muscle
trochlear CN IV
innervates lateral rectus
abducens CN VI
[…] branch of occulomotor n. innervates levator palpebrae and superior rectus
superior
[…] branch of occulomotor n. innervates medial rectus, inferior rectus, and inferior oblique
inferior
parasympathetically innervates the pupil
CN III occulomotor
what cranial nerves travel through the cavernous sinus?
III
IV
V1
VI
