Q

What is the impact of lens shape when the chilary muscles contract?

A

when the ciliary muscle is contracted, the zonular fibers are relaxed, and the lens becomes more conved (fatter) which provides focus for near objects.

Q

What muscles are indicated by the photo?

What is its function?

Innervation?

A

Lateral rectus

  • ABDuction
  • innervation (CN VI ABDucens)

Medial rectus

  • ADDuction
  • Innervation (CNIII)
18
Q

What is the common attachement point for all the rectus muscles? What nerves are located within?

A

common tendinous ring

  • inferior branch of oculomotor nerve (III)
  • Abducent nerve (VI)
  • nasociliary branch of opthalmic nerve (VI)
  • supeiror branch of oculomotor nerve (CNIII)

  4. IR
    1. look toward ear (close gap)
    2. look down
  5. IO
    1. look toward nose (close gap)
    2. look down
  6. SO
    1. look toward nose (close gap)
    2. look up
22
Q

Nerves of the orbit

A
  • Optic
    • sensory
  • Oculomotor
    • eye muscles
  • Trochlear
    • superior oblique
  • Abducens
    • lateral rectus
  • Opthalmic
    • anterior orbit

LR6SO4R3 –> chemical formula to remember

23
Q

What structures do the Optic Nerve pass through?

What types of fibers does it carry?

A
  • through optic canal and common tendinous ring
    • ensheathed in meninges
    • high intracranial pressure
      • can lead to edema around the nerve
  • sensory nerve
24
Q

Describe the path of the oculomotor nerve.

What are the symptoms when there is damage to this nerve?

A

Splits into an inferior and superior division

  • Superior
    • Superior Rectus
    • LPS
  • Inferior
    • inferior oblique
    • medial rectus
    • inferior rectus
  • Also controls accomodation and pupil constriction
  • If there is a lesion
    • “down and out” appearance (only lateral rectus and superior oblique are working)
      • ptosis (when upper eyelid droops over eye)
      • myadriasis
      • issue w/ accomodation
      • diplopia (double vision)
25
Q

Where is the trochlear nerve found with regards tot he common tendinous ring?

Which muscle does it innervate?

What does the palsy look like?

A

above the common tendinous ring

superior oblique

Palsy: affected side hypertropia (misalignment of the eye) and head tilt on the unaffected side

26
Q

Where is the abducents nerve (CNVI) found with regards to the common tendinous ring?

Which muscle does it innervate?

What does the palsy look like?

A

within the common tendinous ring

lateral rectus

Palsy: failure to abduct eye on affected side

27
Q

Identify the branches of teh opthalimic nerve

A
28
Q

Identify the branches of the opthalmic artery.

What branch supplies the orbital floor? What wher does this branch from?

A

infraorbital: from external carotid –> maxillary

29
Q

What are the 3 important orbital veins? How are they formed?

Where do they drain?

A
  • Superior opthalmic
    • supraorbital
    • angular
  • Inferior opthalmic
