Final Flashcards
Chalazion
Small lump or cyst due to meibomian gland
Not painful
Where does levator aponeurosis insert
Anterior aspect of tarsal plate
Skin of superior eyelid
Superior fornix of conjunctiva
Concerned
Curragator
Angry
Procerus
Innervation of tarsal muscle
Sympathetic innervation
What forms the optic nerve
Axons of ganglion cells in the retina
Functions of the RPE
Cis retinal regeneration
Photoreceptor outer disc phagocytosis
Selective transport barrier
Steps of visual pathway found in the retina
Photoreceptors, bipolar and ganglion cells
Intraocular part of ONH is divided by
Superficial NFL, preliminary, and laminar
Superficial NFL
From ILM to Bruce’s membrane
Preliminar
From Bruchs to lamina cribosa
Laminar
Within lamina cribosa
Retrolaminar
Technically part of the intracranial portion of the ON
Once ON leaves the eyeball it is surrounded by
3 meninges layers
Intracranial part of the ON length exceeds the distance from back of the eye to the optic foramen bc
It allows movement without traction
ON vulnerable to trauma in this region
Intracanalicular portion
Tightly bound to wall of the optic canal
ON nerve edema due to CRB compressions by increased intracranial pressure
Papilledema
Bc it crosses the meninges layer as it leaves ON
ON lacks all retinal elements except
NFL and ILM
ILM of optic nerve head is formed by
Astrocytes and is called membrane of elschnig
Why does the ONH look pale compared to rest
Lack of RPE and choroid
Elevated CD ratio and loss of neural rim is a finding in
Glaucoma
Rim of neural tissue is
Thickest inferiorly
Thinnest temporally
Nerve fiber layer becomes thickets at
ONH
Bergmeister papilla
Remnant of the haloed artery at the ONH
