eye and orbit Flashcards
membrane lining inner eyelid
palpebral conjunctiva
membrane lining surface of the eye
bulbar conjunctiva
potential space betw palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva
conjunctival sac
conjunctival reflections from eyelid to eye
fornices
modified sebaceous glands; secretions increase viscosity of tears and decrease rate of evaporation
tarsal glands
sebaceous and sweat glands associated with eyelash follicles; blockage results in a stye
ciliary glands
support for the eyelids
tendon of levator palpebrae superioris orbital septum superior tarsus lateral palpebral ligament inferior tarsus medial palpebral ligament
extension of periosteum into the upper and lower eyelids
orbital septum
7 bones contributing to the orbit
