Q

H test

A

Active eye muscle test

  1. Pt abducts then elevates and depresses eyes
  2. Pt adducts then elevates and depresses
  3. Add/abd tests medial/lateral rectus
  4. Add + elevation = inferior oblique
  5. Add + depression = superior oblique
  6. Superior/inferior rectus m. Useless in adduction

Skin covering superior and inferior tarsal plates w/ palpabrae conjunctiva underneath
1. Fxn:
A. Close eye: orbicularis oculi (CN VII)
B. Open eye: levator palpabrae superioris (CN III) and superior tarsal (symp from T1)

Q

Tarsal (Meibomian) glands

A

Line internal tarsal plates -> meibum

1. Meibum: prevents tear evaporation and protects eyes

17
Q

Sclera

A

Opaque, white part of of eye where extrinsic m. Attach

18
Q

Cornea

A

Transparent layer covering lens

19
Q

Choroid

A

Vascular layer between sclera and retina

20
Q

Iris

A

Contractile diaphragm of surface of the lens
1. Layers
A. Stroma: fibrous and vascular
B. Pigmented
2. Sphincter pupillae: constricts pupil
A. Parasympathetic CN III via short ciliary n.
3. Dilator pupillae: opens pupil
A. Sympathetic from long and short ciliary n.

21
Q

Ciliary m. And body

A
  1. Vascular -> aqueous humor
  2. Muscular: series of smooth circular m. Attached to lens thru zonules (suspensory lig)
  3. Accommodation: dec tension of zonules when muscles contract -> lens rounder (thicker) - focus on closer objects
  4. Innervation: parasympathetic from CN III via short ciliary n.
22
Q

Retina

A

Sensory nervous layer of the eye
1. Optic part: pigmented outer layer and light receptor layer
2. Ciliary part: covers ciliary body, pigmented outer layer
3. Iridial part: covers iris, both layers pigmented
4. Optic disk: “blind spot” where optic n. Enters
5. Macular: “yellow spot” area of cones (color)
A. Fovae centralis: area of most acute vision in center

23
Q

Anterior and posterior aqueous chambers of the eye

A

Supply lens and cornea w/ nutrients
1. Ciliary body -> aqueous humor in posterior chamber -> anterior chamber -> recycled into venous system via canal of achlemm

24
Q

Vitreous body of the eye

A

Posterior to lens and anterior chamber

  1. Provides constant pressure and space for proper focal distance
  2. Filled w/ vitreous humor
25
Q

Ophthalmic a.

A

Blood supply to the eye
Branches:
1. central retinal a.: pierces optic n. And supplies retinal n. (Expect rods and cones)
2. Long and short posterior ciliary a. -> choroid capillary plexus -> rods and cones
3. Lacrimal a. -> lacrimal glands
4. Branches exited orbit -> face/nasal cavity
A. Supraorbital
B. Supratrochlear
C. Dorsal nasal
D. Anterior/posterior ethmoid

26
Q

Lacrimal apparatus

A
  1. Inflow: lacrimal gland -> ducts -> eye
  2. Outflow: across eye medially -> lacrimal canaliculi -> lacrimal sac and nasolacrimal duct -> nasopharynx under inferior nasal concha
  3. Parasympathetic stimulation of lacrimal gland from pterygopalatine (CN VII) -> zygomatic (CN V2) -> lacrimal branch of frontal (V2) via zygomaticcommunicating n.
  4. Sympathetic dec secretion
