Lecture 21: Eye and Orbit I Flashcards
what is the vascular tunic
2nd/middle layer composed of the choroid, ciliary body, and iris
what is the fibrous tunic
scleral- outermost layer
cornea
what are the layers of the cornea in histology superficial to deep
epithelium- stratified squamous
Bowman’s membrane
collagen fibers
descement’s acellular
epithelium- squamous-columnar
what are the layers of the sclera in histology superficial to deep
conjunctival epithelium- stratified squamous
episclera
stroma- thick collagen
suprachoroid lamina with melanocytes
what muscle does the anterior layer of the iris contain and what does it do
constrictor pupillae, constricts the pupil
is the constrictor pupillae controlled by PNS or SNS
parasympathetics
what is the ciliary body
contains the ciliary muscle and changes lens shape for accommodation/focus
is the ciliary body controlled by PNS or SNS
parasympathetics
what layer of the eye contains blood vessels
choroid
what layer in eye can the retina be seen histologically
choroidal layer
what components make up the neural tunic
ora serrata, optic retina and posterior layer of the iris that contains the dilator pupillae muscle
what is the junction between the retina and ciliary body
ora serrata
what muscle lays in the posterior layer of the iris that dilates the pupil
dilator pupillae muscle
is the dilator pupillae muscle controlled by SNS or PNS
sympathetics
what is the canal of schlemn
drains approximately 2-3 microliters of aqueous humor per minute aqueous humor from the anterior chamber to the venous system
located on/in ciliary body
what is the prelental region of the eye and what fluid is filled there
anterior and posterior chambers, filled with aqueous humor
what is the retrolental region of the eye and what fluid is filled there
behind the lens, filled with vitreous fluid
what is the pathway of light
cornea–> aqueous humor–> iris—> lens–> vitreous humor–> retina
what structure makes up the majority of the neural tunic
retina
what structure contains photosensitive rods and cones
retina
what is the plexiform layer
synaptic connections between rods and cones to retinal ganglion neurons
what is the nuclear layer
contains neuronal cell bodies of rods and cones
what is the ganglion cell layer
axons leave the eye as the optic nerve
what photoreceptor cell type has vision in light of low intensity and is predominate throughout the retina
rods
what photoreceptor cell type has visual acuity and color vision
cones
