Eye And Eye Movement (extra) Flashcards
How to test superior and inferior rectus ms.?
Abduct eye with lateral rectus m and raise/lower eye. Only SR m or IR m can work on eye if LR m abducts.
How to test superior oblique andingerior oblique ms.?
When eyes addicted by MR m, only SO m and IO m can work on eye.
Sensory innervation of the eye
Nasociliary n (V1) —> long ciliary n —> choroid, iris, cornea
SNS to the eye
Sympathetic root synapse in ciliary ganglion and travels to dilator papillae m and tarsal ms.
PSNS to eye
CN III synapses in ciliary ganglion with short ciliary n and acts on sphincter pupillae m and ciliary m/body
Trochlear palsy
Head tilts away from affected side. Double vision worse on looking down.
Abducens palsy
Cannot look laterally
Oculomotor palsy
Down and out eye
Complete ptosis
Pupillary dilation
Pupillary light reflex (4)
- Retinal cells of CN II sense light and synapse in protectable nucleus.
- Cells from pretectal nucleus synapse in Edinger-Westphal nucleus.
- Preganglionic cells synapse in ciliary ganglion.
- Postganglionic cells will innervate pupillary constrictor m.
Corneal reflex (3)
- Receptors in cornea detect irritant, travel in CN V, and synapse in trigeminal nucleus.
- Cells from trigeminal nucleus projects in facial nucleus.
- Facial n will cause eye to blink.
Fibrous layer of eye
Sclera and cornea
Vascular layer of eye
Choroid, ciliary body and iris
Inner layer of eye
Retina
Palpebrae conjunctiva
On inner eyelid
Bulbar conjunctiva
On outermost eye
Superior tarsal m.
Innervated by SNS. Partially closes eye. Partial ptosis is affected.
What muscle closes eyelid?
Orbicularis oculi m.
Venous drainage from eye into the cavernous sinus
Vortices veins drain into superior ophthalmic v and inferior ophthalmic v to cavernous sinus.
Venous drainage to Pterygoid plexus
Infraorbital v (from facial v) and from inferior ophthalmic v send a branch to pterygoid plexus
Tear production (3)
- Greater petrosal n (CN VII) and deep petrosal n become N of pterygoid canal.
- Will synapse in Pterygopalatine ganglion.
- Postganglionic fibers will travel on V2 (zygomatic branch) to a communicating branch then to lacrimal n (V1).
