Eye and ear Flashcards
2 Types of fluid within the eye
Virtous body/humor
Aq. humor (ant. post chambers)
Post. parts of the eye
Corneoscleral coat Vascular coat (uvea) Retina=detects
in corneoscleral coat
sclera and cornea
w/in vascular coat
Choroid
Cilary body
Iris
Retina
non photo=not nuronal
Photosensitive=neuro portion, send fibers back through N. @ brain
Retinal pig. epith. (RPE) b/w retina and vascular
Ant. Eye structures
Cornea
Lens
Iris
Cornea structures (5 layers)
Corneal eptih. and BsM -ant. epith. -st. sq. non keratinzed epith. BsM=bowman's memb. -thin b/c compressed by corneal stroma Corneal stroma=middle and major portion -lamina @ rt angle to each other :contribute to strength/transparent color -//-collagen fiber /win lamina -fibroblast b/w lamina=help meet collagen fibers Corneal epith. and BsM -simple cuboidal BsM=descements memb. and thick
Lens structures
Histologically
-capsule
-subcapsular epith.
:cell moves down germinal zone forming lens fibers (form crystalin prot.)
Light passes cornea to lens
Lens equator=lens midline
-zonular fibers located here to ciliary process
-ciliary process bind to ciliary body (muscle to control lens size for focusing)
Iris purpose
control light through lens
Iris structures
Retinal layer=post pig. epith. and most inner
-no photosensitive
Uvea=ant. pig. myoepith. amd middle
-forms dilator pupillae muscle circle
Sphincter pipilar muscle=sm. muscle band
-pupil contractor/dilator
CT
Stromal melanocyte=loose CT and fibroblast
No epith. ant.
Pupil constrictor vs. dilator
Constrictor muscle
-sphincter pupillae muscle contstrict circle and decr. pupil size
-parasymp.
Dilator muscle
-radial muscle and shorten on periphery and incre. pupil size
-symp. to allow light
Iridocorneal angle purpose
AKA filtration angle
connect iris to sclera
Ciliary body is next to the angle
Ciliary body b/w iris and sclera
Ciliary process=non photosensitive of retina
Epith/not neuro
Produce aq. humor
aq. humor flows through
Post. chamber–>iris/lens–>pupil–>ant. chamber (b/w cornea and iris)–>trabecular meshwork(loose CT)–>canal of schelm (s. sq. epith.)–>sclera venous sinus
Light detection: refractile media and 4 transparent components
Elements change path B4 reaches retina and focus light rays on retina 4 components -cornea -aq. humor -lens -vitreous body/gel :gel like sub. :shock absorber :hyluronan(synovial joints), glycoprot, collagen fibrils
