Q

Moveable folds of skin that cover the eyeball anteriorly when closed? Difference of the two? Elliptical opening between the two?

A

Eyelid!

Q

Layers of the eyelid

A
  1. Skin
    -thin outermost layer/thinnest in the body
    -contains hair follicles
    -2 types of glands:
    A. Sebaceous glands of Zeis/ciliary glands
    B. Sweat glands of molls
  2. Subcutaneous tissue
    - next to the skin
  3. Muscular Layer
    -w/ palpebral portion of the orbicularis oculi ms.
    -Superior Tarsal (Muller’s) Ms
    >Smooth ms which helps elevate the Levator Palpebrae Superioris ms in the eyelid.
    -supplied by sympathetic fibers
  4. Tarsofacial Layer
    - comprised of tarsus (dense fibroelastic plate) which support the eyelid
    - surrounded by Tarsal gland (modified sebaceous gland)
  5. Conjuctivae
    - innermost layer
    - Palpebral conjunctiva
    - Bulbar conjunctiva
    - Superior and inferior conjunctival fornices
    - Conjunctival sac

Q

Nerve supply of the lacrimal gland

A

Presynaptic parasympathetic fibers: Facial n., greater petrosal n., nerve of pterygoid canal to the pterygopalatine ganglion

Synapse of pre- and postsynaptic fibers: occur at pterygopalatine ganglion

Postsynaptic: maxillary, infraorbital, zygomatic, lacrimal n.

Q

Extraocular muscles

1. Innervation

A
  1. Innervation: CN III (Oculomotor n.) EXCEPT
    >Lateral rectus: Abducens n (CN VI)
    >Superior Oblique: Trochlear n. (CN IV)

Action
All RECTI muscles are adductors EXCEPT the lateral rectus which is an abductor.
All OBLIQUE muscles are ABductors
All superior muscles are intorters (MEDIAL rotators).
All inferior muscles are extorters (LATERAL rotators).
SO & IR are depressors.
IO & SR are elevators.

Q

Levator Palpebrae Superioris

  1. Fxn
  2. Innervation? What happens if you disrupt its innervation?
A
  1. Elevates and depresses eyelids

2. CN III (Oculomotor n.); interruption produces constant ptosis

Q
  1. Primary blood supply of the eye?
  2. Branch of which artery?
  3. Enters which canal and terminates as?
  4. Branches?
A
  1. Ophthalmic a.
  2. Branch of ICA
  3. Enters at the optic canal and terminates as the supratrochlear a.
  4. Branches:
    A. Ocular: Within the eye
    A.1. Central artery of the retina
    A.2. Ciliary arteries

B. Orbital: Surrounds the eye
>DRMCPLESS

17
Q

Venous Drainage of the Eye

A

Ophthalmic veins

  1. Superior ophthalmic v.
    - drains into the cavernous sinus
  2. Inferior ophthalmic v
    - drains into the pterygoid venous plexus
  3. Vorticose v.
    - empties vascular layer of the eyeball into the 2 ophthalmic veins or the facial v.
18
Q

Tunics of the Eyeball

A
  1. Outer/Fibrous Layer
    A. Cornea
    B. Sclera
  2. Middle/Vascular Layer: Uvea
    A. Choroid
    B. Ciliary Body
    C. Iris
  3. Inner/Nervous Layer: Retina
19
Q

Layers of the Cornea

A

EBSDE

20
Q

Junction where cornea becomes continuous with the sclera? Function?

A

> Limbus/Corneoscleral junction

> Fxn: Site of epithelializatin

> Stroma becomes vascular: Canal of Schlemm (Scleral venous sinus) - contains aqueous humor

21
Q

Responsible for the red-orange reflex

>Layers

A

Choroid
-has the highest gram rate vasculature perfusion in the whole body

Layers:
A. Choroidocapillary Layer
B. Bruch’s membrane

22
Q

Flow of aqueous humor. Obstruction in the pathway can lead to?

A

Ciliary Process -> Posterior Chamber -> Pupil -> Anterior Chamber -> Canal of Schlemm

Obstruction can lead to Glaucoma.

23
Q

24
Q

What determines the color of the eye?

A
