Head and Neck Week 3 - wet room Flashcards
what 7 bones make up the orbit of the eye?
Superior margin: frontal bone and sphenoid
Inferior margin: maxillary bone, palatine and zygomatic
Medial margin: ethmoid, lacrimal bone, sphenoid (body of) and maxilla
what are the 3 foramina at the apex of the orbit?
optic foramen
superior orbital fissure
inferior orbital fissure
what passes through the optic foramen
optic nerve
opthalmic artery
what passes through the superior orbital fissure?
III cranial nerve - oculomotor nerve
IV cranial nerve - trochlear
VI cranial nerve - abducens
opthalmic (VQ division of CNV) nerve
opthalmic veins
what passes through the inferior orbital fissure
maxillary division of CN V nerve
a
sphenoid sinus
b
frontal sinus
c
ethmoid sinus
d
maxillary sinus
what makes the floor of the orbit weak?
inferior orbital groove
what are the main contents of the orbit?
eyeballs
extrinsic ocular muscles
ligaments supporting the eye
optic nerve
branches of inferior opthalmic artry
the lacrimal (tear) apparatus
orbital fat
whata re the 3 layers of the eye?
outer fibrous layers
middle vascular layer
inner sensory layer
what makes up the outer fibrous layer of the eye?
sclera
cornea
it is a complete layer (extends all the way through)
what makes up the middle vascular layer of the eye?
choroid
ciliary body
iris
Is incomplete anteriorly. Anterior apeture (in iris) is called pupil
what makes up the inner sensory layer of the eye?
retina
is present posteriorly but anteriorly it stops short just infront of equator of the eye
what divides the eye into an anterior and aposterior segment?
crystalline lens
what is the name of the watery fluid in the anterior segment?
aqueous humour
what is the name of the gel in the posterior segment?
vitreous humour
a
ciliary body
b
lens
c
ciliary body
d
ora serreta
(anterior end of retina)
serrated junction between the retina and the ciliary body
e
fovea centralis
f
optic nerve head (he physiological blind spot)
g
optic nerve
what part of the eye produces (secretes) aqueous humour?
ciliary body
what are the intrinsic muscles of the eye?
ciliaris
constrictor pupillae
dilator pupillae
What is the location of:
ciliaris
constrictor pupillae
dilator pupillae
ciliaris - ciliary body
constrictor pupillae - pupillary border of iris
dilator pupillae - radially running muscles in iris
What is the action of:
ciliaris
constrictor pupillae
dilator pupillae
ciliaris - accommodation
constrictor pupillae - constricts pupil
dilator pupillae - dilates pupil
what is the innervation of:
ciliaris
constrictor pupillae
dilator pupillae
ciliaris - parasympathetic via cranial nerve IIIn
constrictor pupillae - parasympathetic via cranial nerve IIIn
dilator pupillae - sympathetic innervation
Is the constrictor pupillae and dilator pupillae sympathetic or parasympathetic?
constrictor pupillae - parasympathetic
dilator pupillae - sympahtetic
what produces movements of the eye?
extrinsic muscles of the eye
what are the different eye movements?
in addition there is also intort and extort and these movements occur when the head is tilted
in order ot keep the eyeballs focussed on an object the eyes rotate in the opposite direction
when the top of the eye rotates towards the nose it is called as intortion, and when it rotates away form the nose it is extortion
how many extrinsic muscles of the eye is there
6
4 have a straight course (recti)
2 are oblique
in addition the elevator of the upper eye lid is also considered as an extrinsic eye msucle even though it has no action on the eyeball itself
What is the muscle in the orbit that elevates the superior (upper) eyelid?
The levator palpebrae superioris
a
superior rectus
b
lateral rectus
c
inferior oblique
d
trochlea
e
superior oblique
f
meidal rectus
