Lab Notes Eyes Flashcards
All eye muscles
Oculumotor nerve 3 cranial
Controls superior oblique
4 th cranial nerve trochulear
Lateral rectus it abducts eyeball
6th cranial nerve abducens
3 major tunics
Fibrous
Vascular
Neural
Mostly controls dense Ct collagen
Fiberous tunic
Provides shape and support point of attachment for extraocular muscles
Sclera
Fibrous tunic
Translucent portion of fibrous tunic
It allows photons of light to enter the front of eye
Cornea
Fibrous tunic
Sclera
Cornea
Fibrous tunic
Vascular tunic
Choroid
Ciliary Body
Iris muscle
Network of that allow blood flow into out of the eye
Choroid
Ciliary body made up of 3
Ciliary muscle
Suspended ligaments
Lens
Controls the shape of lens for accommodation
Ciliary muscle
Ligaments attached to the lens to ciliary muscle
Suspended ligaments
Focus photos of light into retina
Lens
Structure that controls the size of the pupil regulate the amount of light that enters the back of eye
Iris muscle
Layer of cells that contain pigments that absorb photons that lie outside the visible spectrum
Pigmented epithelium
Retina has 3 layers of neurons
Photoreceptors contain pigments that absorb photons that lie within the visible spectrum
Bipolar cells 1st order neuron pass signal to ganglion cells
Ganglion cells visual signals out the optic nerve to the brain
Photon of light hits the sclera it will
Reflect or bounce off
Pigmented epithelium
Retina
Neural tunic
