Exam 2 Spring Flashcards
ØOrbital margins (base)
¡Superior
úFrontal bone
¡Medial
úFrontal bone and maxilla
¡Inferior
úMaxilla and zygomatic bone
¡Lateral
úZygomatic and frontal bone

orbital wall - roof
orb plate of frontal bone and lesser wing of sphenoid

orbital wall - medial
¡Frontal process of maxilla, lacrimal bone, orbital plate of ethmoidal, body of sphenoid
orbital wall - floor
¡Orbital surface of maxilla, zygomatic and orbital plate of palatine bones
orbital wall - lateral
¡Frontal process of zygomatic bone, greater wing of sphenoid
orbital wall - apex
¡At optic canal in lesser wing of sphenoid, just medial to superior orbital fissure
Superior orbital fissure
Located between greater and lesser wing of sphenoid
Communicates with middle cranial fossa
Transmit
- III, IV, VI, branches of V1 (lacrimal, frontal, nasociliary nerve)
- Superior & Inferior ophthalmic veins
¨

ØInferior orbital fissure
¡Located posteriorly between maxilla and greater wing of sphenoid
¡Communicate with pterygopalatine fossa & Infratrmporal fossa
¡Transmits branches of maxillary nerve and branches of maxillary vessels

ØSupraorbital notch or foramina
¡supraorbital vessels and nerve
ØInfraorbital groove and foramen
orbit floor
transmits: infraorb vessels & N
¡Nasolacrimal canal
medially
communicates with inferior meatus
transmits nasolacrimal duct
ØOptic canal
¡Located posteriorly in lesser wing of sphenoid
úCommunicates with middle cranial fossa
úTransmit optic nerve and ophthalmic artery
ØZygomaticotemporal and zygomaticofacial foramen
¡Present in lateral wall; transmit nerve of same name
ØAnterior and posterior ethmoidal foramen
¡Present in the medial wall and transmit corresponding nerve and vessels
Orbital fascia/
periorbita
periosteum of orbit - loose & can be stripped from bone
con’t with dura @ optic canal & sup orb fissure
con’t with periostem coering external surf of skull @ orbital margin & inf orb fissue
forms orbital septum

Bulbar fascia
Tenon’s capsule
loose memb sheath around eyeball: optic N –> lumbus (sclerocorneal jxn)
exapnsions of bulbar fascia
¡Medial check ligament is a strong triangular expansion from sheath of medial rectus to lacrimal bone
¡Lateral check ligament is a strong triangular expansion from lateral rectus to zygomatic bone
¡Lower part of Tenon’s capsule is thickened and is called suspensory ligament of eye
¡Secondary socket for eye ball
¡Invests the muscles

voluntary extraocular M
4 recti
2 oblique
levator palpebre superioris
involuntary extraocular M
sup & inf tarsal
orbitalis
supplied by sympathetic N
levator palpebrae superioris
O: lesser wing sphenoid (sup/ant to optic canal)
I: sup tarsus, superior eyelid skin
N: CN III
- deep layer (sup tarsal) = symp

obliquies: superior/inferior
O:
- sphenoid
- ant floor of orbit
I:
- tendon through trochlea –> sclera, deep to sup rectus
- sclera deep to lateral rectus
N: CN IV (trochlear)
rectus M of eye
O: common tend ring
I: sclera posterior to corneosclearl jxn
N:
- CN III: sup, inf, med
- CN VI (abducens): lat
