Eye & Orbit Flashcards
Fascia that extends from periosteum into upper and lower lids
Orbital septum and Tarsal plates
Structures embedded within the tarsal plates that secrete a sebaceous fluid into the palpebral fissure to prevent lacrimal fluid from running onto the face
Tarsal glands (Meibomian glands)
Tissue that anchors the tarsal plates medially to the maxilla
Medial palpebral ligament
Tissue that serves as an origin for the orbicularis oculi muscle
Medial palpebral ligament
Tissue that anchors the tarsal plates laterally to the zygomatic bone
Lateral palpebral ligament
Innervation to orbicularis oris muscle
CN VII
Origin of levator palpebrae superioris
Bony orbital roof
Insertion of levator palpebrae superioris
Superior eyelid and tarsal plate
Action of levator palpebrae superioris
Elevates the upper eyelid
Innervation of levator palpebrae superioris
CN III
Loss of this nerve causes ptosis (drooping of upper eyelid)
CN III (oculomotor)
Terminal branch of V1 that passes through supraorbital foarmen
Innervates upper lid region
Supraorbital nerve
Terminal branch of V2 that passes through infraorbital foramen
Innervates lower lid region
Infraorbital nerve
Arteries and veins of the superficial eye (4)
Supraorbital artery and vein
Infraorbital artery and vein
Facial artery and vein (angular part)
Superficial temporal artery and vein
The supraorbital artery/vein are terminal branch of this
Ophthalmic artery/vein
The infraorbital artery/vein are terminal branch of this
Maxillary artery/vein
Secretes the fluid onto the eye surface through small ductules located in the fornix of the upper eyelid
Lacrimal gland
Location of the lacrimal gland
Upper lateral region of anterior orbit
Location of lacrimal punctum
Medial margin of eyelids
Serves as the opening of the lacrimal canaliculi
Lacrimal punctum
The lacrimal punctum serves as the opening of this
Lacrimal canaliculi
Small canals that join the lacrimal sac
Lacrimal canaliculi
Receives lacrimal fluid from the lacrimal canaliculi
Lacrimal sac
The lacrimal sac receives lacrimal fluid from this
Lacrimal canaliculi
