Q

what are the ciliary processes what do they secrete

A
  1. Finger-like extensions from ciliary body.2. Secrete aqueous humor into posterior chamber.3. Suspensory ligaments (zonule fibers) extend from ciliary processes to len.
45
Q

what is the ciliary muscle what is it innervated bywhat is its function

A
  1. Parasympathetic innervation (CN III)2. Accommodationa. Control of lens thickness via suspensory ligaments.b. When looking at distant objects, the ciliary muscle is relaxed and there is tension on the suspensory ligaments of the lens. The ciliary processes pull on the lens and cause it to be stretched and thinned.c. When focusing on near objects, the ciliary muscle contracts. The ciliary muscle pulls the ciliary body medially and anteriorly and reduces tension on suspensory ligaments. Less tension on the suspensory ligaments means that the lens becomes rounded and thicker.d. No stimulation – lens is thin and flat to focus distant.e. Parasympathetic stimulation (CN III) – lens round to focus near.

A

a. Central retinal artery supplies neural portion of retina (except rods/cones).b. Choroid vessels supplies pigmented epithelium and rod/cone layer

53
Q

how does retinal detachment occur and what can be the result of this

A

Retinal detachment occurs when the pigmented epithelium separates from the underlying rods and cones layer. Detachment can cause blindness if not corrected immediately due to loss of metabolic support and blood supply to rods and cones.

b/w iris and lens

59
Q

what is aqueous humorwhere is it producedwhere does it flowwhere does it drain and via what

A
  1. Refractive fluid filling anterior and posterior chambers.2. Produced in posterior chamber by ciliary processes of ciliary body.3. Flows from posterior chamber to anterior chamber via pupil.4. Drains to venous system via the scleral venous sinus (Canal of Schlemm) at the iridocorneal angle. The scleral venous sinus is covered by a trabecular meshwork (endothelial lined spaces) which helps drain aqueous humor.5. Scleral venous sinus drains to vorticose and anterior ciliary veins.
60
Q

what is glaucoma

A

Glaucoma is a condition caused by excess aqueous humor in the anterior and posterior chambers. Most often due to decreased outflow of aqueous humor (failure to drain due to blockage of scleral venous sinus) or from increased production of aqueous humor. Glaucoma results in increased intraocular pressure; can cause blindness if left untreated.
