lecture 15 vision Flashcards
vision journey
eye optic nerve cross over at optic chiasm lateral geniculate nucleus primary visual cortex
where the light goes in the left visual field of both eyes
right side
three main layers of the eye
fibrous
vascular
neural
outer most layer of the eye
fibrous layer
what is the fibrous layer made up of
cornea and sclera
vascular layer
choriod
ciliary body
iris
choriod
network of blood vessels
ciliary body
musclucal layer which controls the shape of the lens
neural layer
retina
anterior chamber is behind
cornea
posterior chamber behind the
lens
posterior chamber filled with
vitreous humour
anterior chamber filled with
aqueous humour
two types of eye movement
gaze stabalisation
gaze shifting
which type of eye movement do we have more voluntary control over
gaze shifting
gaze stabalisation eye movements
vestibulo ocular and optokinetic
vestibular ocular eye movements used when
rapid head movement
optokinetic eye movement used when
slow head movement
gaze shifting eye movements
saccade, smooth pursuit and vergence
what is saccade
directing the eyes to a target
what is smooth pursuit
directing the eyes to a moving target
what is vergence
adjusting the eyes to different distances
conjugate eye movements
eyes move in the same direction
disconjugate
eyes move in opposite directions
e.g of conjugate eye movements
vestibulor ocular, optokinetic, saccade and smooth pursuit
e.g. of disconjugate eye movements
vergence
extra occular muscles
superior oblique, inferior oblique, superior rectus, medial rectus, lateral rectis and inferior rectus
eyelid msucle
levator palpebrae superioris
adduction
medial rectus
abduction
lateral rectus
eye elevators
superior rectus
inferior oblique
eye depressors
inferior rectus
superior oblique
cyclic rotations of the eye
intorsion
extorsion
intorsion muscles
superior rectus
superior oblique
extorsion muscles
inferior rectus
inferiro oblique
what three nerves innervate the extraocular muscles
oculomotor, trochlear and abducens
occulomotor innervates the
medial rectus, superior rectus and inferior oblique
what cranial nerve is the occularmotor
3
trochlear innervates
superior oblique
what CN is trochlear
4
what innervates lateral rectus
abducens
what cranial nerve is abducens
6
where are the nuclei of 3, 4 and 6 CN
brainstem
what part of the brain controls eye movements
frontal eyefield of the motor cortex
planning eye movements in the brain
supplementary eye field
what does the superior coliculus do
orientating an object in your visual field
area with the highest number of nerve endings, why?
cornea
protection
most metabolicaly active part of the body, why?
cornea
repair itself
what attatches the ciliary body to the lens
zonules
what are zonules
connecting fibres
what does the ciliary body do
contains muscles which can change the shape of the lens
what changes the pupil size
muscles of the iris
aniscoria
pupils have different sizes
