exam 3 Flashcards
where does the cornea and conjunctiva get oxygen from during the day and night
day - tears
night - conjunctiva capillaries and
what is the lacrrimal lake
tear reservoir at medial canthus
What is the tear meniscus
at posterior edge of eyelid margins - area where tears collect at bottom of lid
what are the microplicae and microvilli
outer surface membrane of corneal and conjunctival epicells
It is the base of tear film
helps aid in adherence of tear film
name the parts of mucin and what makes it
- thin membrane associated mucin (glucocaylx)
- Thicker mucin (goblet)
name parts of tear film and what makes it
from cornea and out
- mucin (goblet cells)
- aqueous (lacrimal gland)
- lipid (meimbomian gland)
tears vs blood
tears have more potassium and chloride
blood has higher glucose
what are the following..
what happens when there is a decrease in them
lysozyme
lactoferrin
Lysozyme
- main protein of tear
-decrease = inflammatory dz
Lactoferrin
-protective to corneal and conjunctival epithelia
- decrease= aqueous dry eye
BOTH have antibacterial affect
what are acini
irregular arrangement of secretory cells around central lumen in lacrimal gland and accessory glands
sarcodosis causes what
enlarged lacrimal gland
name innervation of tears
parasympathetic
lacrimal nerve (branch from V1)
normal tear meniscus
0.5 mm
TBUT for dry eyes
less than 10 seconds
increased vasculature can show altered what
meimbomian glands
how long for warm compresses MGD
5 min BID
what is lagopthalmos
incomplete closure of lids
schirmers test vs phenol red vs tear osmolarity
both test aqueous production
schirmers is 5 minutes less that 5mm = dry
pheol red 15 min
<10 mm= dry
tear osmolarity
> or = 308 mOsm/L means dry
difference between two eyes of > 8 also means dry eyes
outflow of tears start with what
where do tears exit
capillary action tear lake to puncta.
exit inferior meaturs below inferior turbinate
size of
horizontal
vertical canaliculus
lacrimal sac
naso lacrimal duct
horizontal 8 mm
vertical canaliculus 2 mm
lacrimal sac 14
naso lacrimal duct 15
name and put size
explain what happens to your drainage system when you open and close your eyes
what about contracting and relazing horners muscle
how long to let collagen plug to dissolve
1-2 weeks
what covers sclera
sclera is the continuation of what
- tennons capsule
- bulbar conj
continuation of stroma
what do the the cornea and sclera have in common
difference in water content
similar collagen types
largely made of proteoglycan and collagen fibers
cornea has 78% water and cornea has 68% water
what accounts for lack of transparency of sclera
varieing size of collagen fibers
gag (glucosaminoglycans)( sclear has 1.4 gags that are found in the cornea)
68 % water
irregular space between c. fibers = light scattering
name to layers of episcleral and its blood supply
parietal
- superficial episcleral capillary plexus (radial and straight arrangment)
viceral
-deep episcleral cappilary plexus
(freely anastomosing)
