Q

What are the steps of the pupillary light reflex?

A
  • Step 1: Light synapses at pretectal nucleus
    • Carried by Optic Nerve (sensory)
  • Step 2: Cells from pretectal nucleus will synapse at Edinger-Westphal Nuclues
  • Step 3: Preganglioninc parasympathetic neurons will synapse in ciliary ganglion
    • Carried by Oculomotor Nerve (motor)
  • Step 4: Postganglioninc parasympathetic neurons will synapse in pupillary constrictor muscle
    • Constriction of Eye
28
Q

How does an afferent lesion affect the pupillary light reflex?

A

Ipsilateral side will not perform a direct response but will still perform a consensual response because motor innervation is still intact

29
Q

How does an efferent lesion affect the pupillary light reflex?

A

Ipsilateral side will not have pupillary muscle constriction but the contralateral side will still have a consensual response because afferents are still intact

30
Q

What are the steps of the corneal light reflex?

A
  • Step 1: Receptors that sesne Touch/Irritation will synapses at trigeminal sensory nucleus.
    • Carried by Ophthalmic Nerve (sensory)

  2. Posterior Chamber
  3. Anterior Chamber
  4. Schlem’s Canal (scleral venous sinus)
55
Q

Blockage of the scleral venous sinus can result in what disorder?

A

Glaucoma

56
Q

Rupture of blood vessels in the anterior chamber of the eye can result in what disorder?

A

Hyphema

57
Q

What attaches the ciliary processes to the lens of the eye?

A

Zonular fibers/suspensory ligament of the lens

58
Q

What is the action of the ciliary muscles for near vision?

What is the effect on the lens?

A

Contract and decrease size of ciliary body, reduces tension on suspensory ligament

Lens become round

59
Q

What is the action of the ciliary muscles for far vision?

What is the effect on the lens?

A

Relaxed ciliary muscles and increased size of ciliary body, increases tension on suspensory ligament

Flatten lens

60
Q

What does the Sphincter Pupillae muscle do?
