Layer 4
34
Layer 4C alpha receives input from which pathway?
Magno
35
Layer 4C beta receives input from which pathway

Parotid gland
37
Which neuroglial cell extends from the ILM through the retina and into the PR layer?
Muller cells
38
Contraction of the ciliary muscle results in what?
Increase in accommodation | Increase in corneoscleral outflow
39
How does contraction of the ciliary muscle increase corneoscleral outflow?
Pulls the scleral spur posteriorly, causing increased pore size in the corneoscleral meshwork
40
Ciliary muscle contraction causes (relaxation, tension) of the lens zonules?
Relaxation
41
Starting from the ciliary muscle, how does accommodation occur?
Ciliary muscle contraction causes relaxation of lens zonules, which allows the lens to get fatter
42
Decreased tension on the choroid and a posterior shift of he iris-crystalline lens diaphragm occur with (relaxation, contraction) of the ciliary muscle?
Relaxation
43
Which of the following ganglia causes vasodilation of the choroidal vessels?
Pterygopalatine
44
Parasympathetic fibers traveling through which nerve will cause vasodilation of the choroidal vasculature?

Sympathetic fibers of which ganglion will cause vasoconstriction of the choroidal vessels?
Superior cervical ganglion

The orbital fascia provides support to what?
Blood vessels within the orbit
48
The orbital fascia serves as a point of attachment for what?
