GA: Eye + Eye Movements Flashcards
Look at the bones that make up the orbit
Where is there most likely to be breakage in an orbital blowout fracture?
Usually medially and inferiorly w/ the maxillary bone.
Orbital contents can prolapse and end up in the maxillary sinus
How are the eyeballs positioned within the skull?
medial walls of orbit = parallel
lateral walls = right angle to eachother
axes of gaze = parallel but axes of orbit diverage @ 45 degrees
What are the movements of the pupil?
normal primary postion = looking straight forward
What does the levator palpebrae superioris m. do + innervation?
Elevates superior eyelid (opens eye)
CN 3
What is the function + innervation of superior oblique M.?
ABducts + depresses + medially rotates
CN 4
What does inferior oblique M. do + innervation?
ABducts + elevates + laterally rotates eyeball
CN 3
Function + Innervation of Superior rectus M.
Elevates + ADduct + rotate medially
CN 3
Function + Innervation of Inferior rectus M.
Depresses + ADducts + rotates eyeball laterally
Function + Innervation of Medial Rectus
ADducts
CN 3
Function + Innervation of Lateral Rectus
ABducts
CN 6
Extraocular M.’s
What is the prime muscle mover for each of these directions?
What is the innervation of the orbit (sensory)?
V1 Opthalamic N. gives off 3 branches:
1) Frontal N. –> Supratrochlear + supraorbital N.’s
2) Lacrimal N.
3) Nasociliary N. –> Posterior ethmoidal N. + Anterior Ethmoidal N. + Infratrochlear N. + Long ciliary N. + Short ciliary N.
What is the innervation of the extraocular M.’s?
Oculomotor N. (IO, SR, IR, + LPS to open eye)
Trochlear N. (SO)
Abducent N. (LR)
How do the sympathetics infiltrate the eye and what do they make it do?
Sup. Cervical Ganglion –> Internal Carotid Plexus hitch
nasociliary = dilates eye
&
long ciliary = keeps eye open
A lesion of CN ____ causes trochlear palsy.
4 = SO
Heaad tilts away from affected side
