G6 Eye/Orbit Flashcards
Membrane lining inner eyelid
Palpebral Conjunctiva
Membrane lining surface of eye
Bulbar Conjunctiva
Potential space between these membranes (palpebral conjunctiva and bulbar conjunctiva)
Conjunctival Sac
Conjunctival reflections from eyelid to eye
Fornices
Create fluid that keeps tears more viscous (evaporates less quickly)
Tarsal Glands
Sebaceous gland; stye created on eyelid when this gland is blocked
Ciliary Gland
Optic Canal contents:
CN II, Ophthalmic a.
Superior Orbital fissure contents:
CN III, IV, V1, VI, Ophthalmic vv.
Supraorbital notch/foramen contents:
Supraorbital n. (CN V1 branch) and a.
Inferior orbital fissure contents:
Infraorbital n and zygomatic n (CN V2 branch) and a.
Infraorbital foramen contents:
Infraorbital n. (CN V2 branch) and a.
Ant. Ethmoid foramen contents:
Ant ethmoidal n. (CN V1 branch) and a.
Post. Ethmoidal foramen contents:
Post. Ethmoid n. (CN V1 branch) and a.
Thin middle layer of ciliary aa. and vorticose vv. (Middle eye)
Choroid
Smooth m. around lens for accommodation (middle eye)
Ciliary body
Colored smooth m. behind cornea controlling pupil size (middle eye)
Iris
Adjustable aperture thru which light enters eye (middle eye)
Pupil
Neural layer of eye which receives light rays (inner eye)
Retina
Oval region of retina for visual acuity (yellow in color thus only visible with red-free light) (inner eye)
Macula Lutea
Most acute vision site at center of macula lutea (inner eye)
Fovea Centralis
Regions where CN II and retinal vessels enter/exit (inner eye, blind spot)
Optic disc
Largely responsible for refraction of light in the eye (refractive media)
Cornea
