Q

What is the pathway for the postganglionic sympathetic visceral efferent (VE) fiber to the lacrimal gland?

A

it exits the superior cervical ganglion via the gray ramus communicans and joints the internal carotid artery neuromuscular plexus and continues along the ophthalmic artery to the lacrimal gland where it synapses

Q

Sympathetic stimulation of the lacrimal gland will result in what events?

Q

Parasympathetic stimulation of targets in the lacrimal gland will result in what events?

A

vasodilation of blood vessels, increased availability of water to secretory units, thinner or more watery product in lumen;
constriction of myoepithelial cells leading to release of product from secretory lumen into duct system

A

lateral geniculate nucleus

22
Q

Axons from the lateral geniculate nucleus will synapse in what specific location?

A

primary visual cortex, calcarine sulcus of the occipital lobe of the cerebrum

23
Q

What is the location of the anterior chamber of the eyeball?

A

between the cornea and iris

A

between the iris and lens

25
Q

What is contained in the anterior chamber of the eyeball?

A

aqueous humor

26
Q

What is contained in the posterior chamber of the eyeball?

A

aqueous humor

27
Q

What is the name given to the chamber behind the lens?

A

vitreous chamber

28
Q

What is the location of the vitreous chamber?

A

behind the lens, in front of the retina

29

A

vitreous body

30
Q

What are the functions of the vitreous body?

A

maintain retinal curvature; allow minimal light distortion from lens to retina

31
Q

A

both insert onto sclera on the lateral margin of the eyeball behind the coronal equator
