L2- Exam Pt. 2 Flashcards
major differences between arteries and veins in the eye
arteries
- lighter red
- smaller
veins
- darker red
- larger
pupillary reaction to light - direct reaction
pupillary constriction in the same eye
- light in right eye and right eye constricts
consensual reaction -
pupillary constriction in the opposite eye
- put in right eye and both right and left eyes the pupil constricts
whisper technique for auditory acuity
stand 2 feet behind the patient so that the patient cannot read your lips
occlude the non-test ear with a finger and gently rub the tragus in a circular motion
exhale a full breath before whispering to ensure a quiet voice
whisper a combination of three numbers and letters
use a different number/ letter combination for the other ear
conductive hearing loss
hear better through bone conduction than air
sensorineural hearing loss
congenital or hereditary hearing loss
weber test
hearing test
upper eyelid covers?
portion of iris – but does not normally overlay the pupil
opening between eyelids called
palpebral fissure
conjuctiva
clear mucous membrane with two visible components
- bulbar conjuctiva
- palpebral
bulbar conjuctiva
covers most of the anterior eyeball, adhering lossely to the underlying tissue
- meets cornea at limbus
papebral conjuctiva lines
the eyelids
tarsal plates
firm strips of connective tissue within the eyelids
levator palpebrae
raises the upper eyelid – innervated by CN III
meibomian glands
in the tarsal plates – parallel rows of them and open on the lid margin
controls the pupillary size
the muscles of irsi 8
controlling the thickness of the lens
muscles of the ciliary body
what allows to focus on near or distant objects
muscles of ciliary body
aqueous humor found? flow?
fills anterior and posteior chambers of the eye
circulates from posterior to anterior through the pupil
drains out through the canal of schlemm
canal of schlem
drains the aqueous humor of the eye
- controls the pressure inside the eye
lacrimal location
superior lateral aspect of the eyelid
- mostly in bony orbit, above and lateral to the eyeball
what protects conjuctiva and cornea
fluid from the meiboma glands, conjuctivcal glands, and lacrimal glands
tears drain?
medially through the lacrimal puncta
they pass into the lacrimal sac and into the nose via the nasolacrimal duct –> inferior meatus
cranial nerves associated with the eye
III, IV, VI
superior oblique what nerve
IV
CN VI
lateral rectus
CN III regulates which muscles
- superior rectus
- inferior rectus
- medial rectus
- inferior oblique
lateral rectus controlled by
CN VI
entropin
lower eyelid pushed underneath
ectropin
lower eyelid is lower
subconjunctival hemorrhage
leakage of bloos outside the vessels, producing a hemorhagenous sharpply demarcated, red area that resolves over 2 weeks
fundus is where
posterior part of the eye
- also see retina, choroid, fovea, macula, optic disc and retinal vessels in this area
describe arteries of the eye
- light red in color
- smaller (2/3 to 3/4 the diameter of veins)
- light reflex is bright
