Ear and Eye Flashcards
Lecture 5
bones forming the orbit are
frontal
zygomatic
maxilla
lacrimal
sphenoid
ethmoid
palatine
bony orbit protects the
eyes, the sensory organs for vision
muscles that move the eyeball (extraocular muscles)
four rectus muscles: superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, lateral rectus
two oblique muscles: superior oblique, inferior oblique
superior rectus
moves the eyeball up
inferior rectus
moves the eyeball down
medial rectus
moves the eyeball medially
lateral rectus
moves the eyeball laterally
superior oblique
moves the eyeball laterally and down
inferior oblique
moves the eyeball laterally and up
all eye muscles originate from
a common tendinous ring around optic foramen
the inferior oblique originates from
the floor of the orbit
all muscles of the eye are innervated by
CN III (Oculomotor nerve)
all eye muscles are innervated by CN III except
lateral rectus muscle (CN VI) and superior oblique muscle (CN IV)
intraocular muscles and their functions
constrictor pupillae muscle: constricts the pupil
dilator pupillae muscle: dilates the pupil
intraocular muscles receive ______ innervation
autonomic innervation
parasympathetic fibres of the intraocular muscles
from CN III —> constrictor pupillae muscle
sympathetic fibres of the intraocular muscles
from sympathetic chain —> dilator pupillae muscle
lacrimal gland lies in the
anterolateral part of the roof of the orbit
tears pass across the surface of the eye and collect in the
lacrimal sac
from the lacrimal sac tears drain via _______ duct into the nose
nasolacrimal
lacrimal gland innervation
parasympathetic fibres from facial nerve (CN VII)
cranial nerves in the orbit
CN II
CN III
CN IV
CN V
CN VI
CN II
optic nerve
special sensory fibers for vision
CN III
oculomotor nerve
motor fibers: to most, 4 out of 6, extraocular muscles
parasympathetic fibers: to muscles that constrict pupil
CN IV
trochlear nerve
motor nerve to superior oblique muscle
CN V
trigeminal nerve
V1 branch; sensory nerve to the eyeball, skin on forehead, upper eyelid
