superior rectus
medial rectus
inferior rectus
lateral rectus

2 oblique:
superior oblique
inferior oblique

19
Q

Which extraocular muscles adduct the eye?

A

medial rectus
inferior rectus
superior rectus

20
Q

Which extraocular muscles abduct the eye?

A

lateral rectus
superior oblique
inferior oblique

21
Q

Which extraocular muscles depress the eye?

A

inferior rectus

superior oblique

22
Q

Which extraocular muscles elevate the eye?

A

superior rectus

inferior oblique

23
Q

Which extraocular muscles medially rotate the eye?

A

superior rectus
superior oblique
inferior rectus

24
Q

Which extraocular muscles laterally rotate the eye?

A

inferior oblique

25
Q

Which extraocular muscles are innervated by CN VI?

A

lateral rectus

26
Q

Which extraocular muscles are innervated by CN IV?

A

superior oblique

27
Q

Which extraocular muscles are innervated by CN III?

A

all except lateral rectus and superior oblique

28
Q

Where is the common tendinous ring (annulus of Zinn)?

A

surrounds the optic canal

29
Q

What muscles arise from the common tendinous ring?

A

the 4 rectus extraocular muscles + superior oblique (basically all but inferior oblique)

30
Q

Describe the function of the ciliary muscle.

A

Changes shape of lens.
When ciliary muscle contracts, zonular fibers relax and lens thickens.
When ciliary muscle relaxes, zonular fibers tauten and lens thins.

31
Q

What is the innervation of the ciliary muscle?

A

parasympathetics of CN III

32
Q

What produces aqueous humor?

A

ciliary body

33
Q

What muscles control the size of the pupil?

A

sphincter pupillae: contracts to reduce pupil diameter

dilator pupillae: contracts to increase pupil diameter

34
Q

What is the innervation of the sphincter and dilator pupillae?

A

sphincter: parasympathetic
dilator: sympathetic
(both of CN III)

35
Q

How many photoreceptors are in the optic disc?

A

none - blind spot where CN II exits the eyeball

36
Q

What is the site of highest acuity vision?

A

fovea centralis

37
Q

What are the 3 chambers of the globe?

A

anterior chamber
posterior chamber
vitreous chamber

38
Q

What artery supplies blood to the contents of the orbit?

A

ophthalmic artery, a branch of the internal carotid

39
Q

What artery supplies the retina?

A

central artery of the retina

40
Q

What arteries supply the globe?

A

anterior and posterior ciliary arteries

41
Q

What artery supplies the lacrimal gland, conjunctiva, and eyelids?

A

lacrimal artery

42
Q

What nerve fibers participate in the corneal reflex?

A

somatic sensory fibers carry sensation to brain along the long & short ciliary nerves, nasociliary nerve, and ophthalmic nerve
branchial motor efferent fibers from CN VII innervating the orbiculari oculi muscle cause it to contract, closing the eyelid

43
Q

What nerve fibers participate in the pupillary light reflex?

A

special sensory sensations are carried by CN II

visceral motor parasympathetic fibers are carried by the inferior division of CN III and the parasympathetic root of the ciliary ganglion; they synapse; post-ganglionic fibers travel along short ciliary nerves into globe to pupillary constrictor muscle, causing the iris to constrict
