This layer communicates with subaponeurotic layer of the scalp:
Sub-muscular areolar tissue
Raccoon eyes are associated with which layer of the eyelid?
Sub-muscular areolar tissue
Orbital septum is a _____ CT.
Dense
Functions of the orbital septum:
- Restricts fat from falling onto lid margins
- Prevents superficial infections from spreading into the orbit
Identify the structure:
Runs from entire orbital rim to tarsal plates of eyelids and is extension of periorbita:
Orbital septum
Identify the structure:
Dense irregular connective tissue that is made up of collagen fibrils that surround the meibomian glands.
Tarsal plate
Tarsal plate function:
To provide rigidity to the eyelids

LPS is innervated by:
CN III
LPS origin and insertion:
Origin: Sphenoid bone
Insertion: Tarsal plates and the skin of the eyelid as levator aponeurosis
Identify the structure:
fan-shaped tendinous expansion posterior to the orbital section.
LPS
