Ch. 18 Day 3 Flashcards
functions of eyebrows
prevent surface of eyes debrief
block sun
sensory
communicate
look good
window shield wipers of the eye
palpebrae
palpebrae is the
eyelashes
blink per minute
25x
where eye comes together is called
lacrimal caruncle
structures of eyelid how many tissue layers
4
orbicularis oculi contracts to help
close eyes
levator palpebrae superioris function
open eyes
tarsal plate help give eyes
shape
tarsal gland prevent
eyes to stick together
palpebral conjunctiva covers
inner surface of eyelid
bulbar ocular conjunctiva covers
anterior surface of the eye
palpebral conjunctiva connects to
fornix
lacrimal apparatus is tied with
tears
lacrimal gland sends
10-12 ducts to superior fornix
lacrimal gland produces
slightly alkaline fluid containing mucus, fluids, and lysozyme
tears reduce
friction
tears remove
debris
tears prevent
bacterial injection
CNII innervates how many muscles
4
rectuses
inferior oblique
CNIV innervates
superior oblique
CNVI innervates
lateral rectus
fibrous layer of eye provides
support/protection
attachment for ocular muscles
helps focusing
sclera is dense
fibrous ct covering most of eye
cornea looks
transparent and continuous with sclera
cornea is a dense
matrix with multiple layers of collagen fibers
damage to cornea can cause you to be
blind
vascular layer of eye contains
choroid, iris, cilariy body
vascular layer helps
carry blood vessels
regulate light entering
lens shape
choroid is posterior
5/6 of eye
iris is the
pigmented part, two layers of interinsic eye muscles surrounding the pupil
cilary body secretes
aqueous humor
cilary body ring
cilary muscle that determines shape of lens
as you age the lens gets
less flexible
inner layer of eye contains
retina
retina outer layer called
pigmented layer
outer pigmented layer absorbs
light that passes through retina
inner neural layer contains
photoreceptors
2 photoreceptors are called
rods and cones
rods control
b and w vision in dim light
cones is the
high acuity color vision fovea centralis
optic disc is where there is
no photoreceptors
humors include
aqueus humor
vitreous body
aqueous humor produced by
inner cilary body in posterior chamber
eye processing happens within the
retina
optic nerve meets at the
optic chiasm
what type of decussation occurs at optic chiasm
partial decussation
weird decussation of eye
half fibers of each retina go left thalamus others go right
fibers from thalamus carry info to the
visual cortex
