Eye Flashcards
thinnest part of ethmoid bone
lamina papyracea
optic canal contents
CN II and ophthalmic a.
superior orbital fissure contents
CN III, CN IV, CN V1, CN VI
and superior ophthalmic v.
what will you hit if you go straight back into the superior orbital fissure
internal carotid a.
inferior orbital fissure contents
inferior ophthalmic v.
structures inside common tendinous ring
ophthalmic a.
CN II
CN III
CN VI
nasociliary n. (branch of CN V1)
structures outside common tendinous ring
CN IV

lacrimal n. (branch of CN V1)
superior ophthalmic v.
vascular layer of eye
choroid
what produces aqueous humour
ciliary body
artery of the retina that is in the choroid layer
cilioretinal a.
superficial to deep the layers of eye
sclera, choroid, retina
what 3 types of cells make up conjunctiva
stratified squamous
columnar epithelial
goblet
function of conjunctiva
lubricate eye
immunosurveillance
2 parts of conjunctiva
bulbar and palpebral
3 causes of conjunctiva:
allergies, bacteria, virus
difference b/t bacterial and viral conjunctiva
bacterial: thick discharge
viral: thin discharge
caused by increase in intraocular pressure causing blindness
glaucoma
what keeps retina against choroid
vitreous humour
when vitreous separates from retina
vitreous detachment
when retina detached from choroid
retinal detachment
causes of retinal detachment
diabetes
injury
aging
heat from surgery
when a piece of tissue is missing from structure of eye
Coloboma
2 branches of frontal nerve
supraorbital (more lateral)
supratrochlear (more medial)
95% of ocular melanomas happen here
uveal tract
uveal tract contains:
iris, ciliary body, choroid
vascular (and poor lymphatics)
