Eye and Orbit Flashcards
accessory visceral structures
eyelids extraocular muscles nerves and vessels orbital fascia conjunctiva lacrimal apparatus
tarsi attachments
medial and lateral palprebral ligaments
tarsal gland secretion
lipids
bulbar fascia
posterior loose connective tissue going into the orbit
bulbar conjunctiva
anterior clear layer over the sclera
palprebral conjunctiva
clear layer lining eyelids
conjunctival sac
space bordered by bulbar and palpebral conjuctiva
conjunctivitis
inflammation of the conjunctiva
lacrimal glands produce
lacrimal fluid- lubrication
lacrimal fluid drains into
lacrimal canaliculi in inferomedial eye
lacrimal canaliculi drain into
lacrimal sac- superior dilation of nasolacrimal duct
lacrimal sac drains into
nasolacrimal duct which leads into nose
lacrimal gland location
fossa for lacrimal gland in superiolateral orbit
nasolacrimal duct drains into
inferior nasal meatus
anterior segment
anterior to lens
anterior chamber
anterior to iris
posterior chamber
posterior to iris
posterior segment
posterior to lens
aqueous humor
in anterior segment
vitreous humor
in posterior segment
glaucoma
increased anterior segment pressure caused by increased aqueous humor possibly due to blocked scleral venous sinus
scleral venous sinus
drains aqueous humor of anterior segment
located in the irido-corneal angle
sphincter pupillae
closes pupil via parasympathetic
dilator pupillae
opens pupil via sympathetic
sclera
attachment sites for extraocular and intrinsic eye muscles
most of light refraction by
corena
ciliary muscle contracts to
do accomodation- focus on near things
makes lens more rounded
2 layers of retina
neural- photoreceptors
pigmented- absorbs excess light so none is reflected
blood supply to retina
central artery/vein of retina
optic disc
medial (nasal)
where optic nerve and blood vessels enter
macula
lateral to optic disc where light hits the retina
fovea
indention in macula with highest visual acuity
choroid
layer with blood vessels
papilledema
bulging of the optic disc due to swelling of central vein of retina from compression by CSF in meninges due to increased cranial pressure
branches of the ophthalmic artery supplying the eye and surrounding
central artery of retina posterior ciliary lacrimal--> anterior ciliary supraorbital ethmoid branches
order of things light goes through
vitreous humor ganglion cell axons retinal ganglion cells bipolar neurons photoreceptors pigmented layer sclera
major visual pathway
retinal ganglion axons–> lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN)–> occipital lobe
