*The basal layer: imp ?
Intermeidate layers : 3-4 polygonal
____________
Basal layer has an excellent power of regenration due to mitosis
GR/conreal epithelium is highly sensitive ?
This is due to High innervation with numoerous free nerve endings
describe conreal epithelium
sss
Stratified squamous non kertantizied
Superficial surface with microvvilli
Sensitive
______________-
Intermediate layer 3-4 layers polygonal
Basal = regentation + Mitosis
What layer of Cornea if damaged cause opacity?
Bowman’s membrane as it cannot regenrate forming scar
Mention Functions of Bowman’s membrane
Strength+ stability
Protective barrier against Trauma + Bacteria
Describe Bowman’s Membrane
Very thick Transparent Homogenous membrane
___________________________________________________
Formed of type 1 collagen + Intercellular substance
Representing the BM of epithelium
called ant limiting membrane
Acute headache treated by ?
Simple analgesics
Ergots
Migraine-specific (for example, triptans)
Preventive treatment of headache
To prevent attacks
To prevent transformation to chronic headache
Mention
Anti-epileptics
Anti-hypertensives
Tricyclic anti-depressants
Migraine specific (for example, Anti-CGRP)
Describe substania propria of Cornea
Describe stroma of Cornea
It is the stroma of cornea formed of ?
1-Collagen lamella type 1: 60 layers of parallel collagen type 1 fibers
2-Corneal Corpuscles : Fibroblasts (keratinocytes) between lamaella
3-Ground substance of : Keratin sulphate + Chondroitin sulphate ( proteoglycans )
Describe Descemt’s membrane
Refractile thick homogenous membrane
formed of collagen fibirils
Formed by Underlying Epithelium
Mention type and function of Conreal endothelium
It is simple squamous epithelium lining innermost layer of cornea
Responsible for Dehydration of cornea Maintaing its transparency by pinoctic vesciles transfering fluids from stroma to anterior cahmber
Mention type and function of Conreal endothelium
It is simple squamous epithelium lining innermost layer of cornea
Responsible for Dehydration of cornea Maintaing its transparency by pinoctic vesciles transfering fluids from stroma to anterior cahmber
The active transcellular endoyctosis and exocytosis in corneal endothelium depends on
Numerous mitochondria found in the corneal endothelium
Conrea is avascular receving nutriton from ?
Atmospheric o2
Aquous humor
Capillareis of Limbus
Cornea is transparent why ?
1-Non keratinized Stratified squamous epithelium
2-Parallel arragment of collagen fibrils in substantia propria
3-avasculer
4-unmyelinated nerve fibers
5-Corneal dehydration
4-same refreactive index of all its compnents
Why corneal tranplanation is the most successful transplant surgery ?
This is due to presnence of no BVs or lymphatics in the cornea so no immunity of autorejection
The Sclera
- Posterior 5/6 of the fibrous coat, white , opaque.
- Protect and maintain the shape of the eye ball.
- Gives attachment to the tendons of extraocular
muscle.
-Thickened posteriorly and becomes perforated by
the ?????
Optic nerve
Explain strucutre of sclera histologically
Formed of 3 layers :
1-Outer episcleral “ Fibroelastic C.T” Collagen + Elastic fibers + Fibroblasts
2-Sclera proper (Stroma) : “Dense C.T” for ? fibroblasts + collagen + ground substance + elastic
3-SupraChorioid lamina:- formed of collagen + Melanocytes
Why is sclera opaque ?
1-Irregular arrangement of fibers
2-Different Refractive indices for its components
a 1 mm wide transition zone
between the cornea & sclera
(encircling the cornea).
Limbus
Mention the importance of Higly vascularity of limbus
Nutrition of peripheral cornea with metabolites by diffusion
Trabeculae meshwork formed by?
Decment’s membrane lined by descments endothelium
Show changes occurs at limbus
conreoscleral junction
1-Corneal epithelium becomes Bulbar conjunctiva
2-Bowman’s membrane replaced by subconjunctival C.T
3-Stroma forms Canal of schlemme
4-Descmet’s membrane forms trabecular meshwork
5-descment’s endothelium lines Schlemme canal + Trabecular meshwork
Stem cells are concentrated at the limbus, from which
rapidly
dividing progenitor cells move into the cornea to replace
damaged epithelium
What is conjuctiva
thin transparent mucous membrane that covers the ant part of eye scleral part (bulbar conjunctiva)
+ Inner eyelid (palpebral conjunctiva
