Basic Concepts Flashcards
Bone surrounds eye
Orbit
Fibrous white part
Sclera
Transparent outer layer, sensitive to touch
Cornea
Outer layer is also known as the
Fibrous layer
Dark brown absorbs scattered light and supplies blood rich in oxygen
Choroid
Choroid separated to retina, what is the diagnosis?
Retinal detachment
Secretes aqueous humor and controls thickness of lens to bend light focus on retina opacity
Cataract
Increase aqueous humor
Glaucoma
Retina’s opacity is cloudy
Cataract
Drains aqueous humor
Canal of Schlemm
Aqueous humor drained from canal of Schlemm via
Trabecular meshwork
If trabecular meshwork is blocked or obstructed, what its dx
Glaucoma
Colored portion of the eyes
Iris
Controls light entering
Pupil
PNS stimulation of M3 receptors causes sphincter muscles to
Constrict (miosis)
When there is constriction of the sphincter muscles, what happens to the light?
Decrease light
When there is dilation of the dilator muscles, what happens to the light?
Increase in light
SNS dilator muscles leads to
mydriasis (dilation)
Sensory visual layer
Retina
Retina damaged, what’s the DX
Blindness
Colored and central vision (day)
Cones
Dark visions and peripheral vision (side); night visions
Rods
Entry and exit of optic nerve
Optic disk
Optic nerve is what kind of spot
Blind spot
