Q

development of the eye

A

originally develop as a diverticulum of the forebrain neural tube

the diverticulum becomes an optic stalk and near surface ectoderm forms the optic cup

17
Q

layer of the eye

A
  1. corneoscleral coat
    outer fibrous layer (cornea and sclera)
2. vascular coat (uvea) 
middle layer (iris, ciliary body, and choroid) 
  1. retina
    inner layer
18
Q

about the corneoscleral coat

A

anterior surface of the eye
avascular

function: refraction of light

19
Q

layers of the cornea

A
  1. corneal epithelium
    strat squamous
    can regenerate
    lots of free nerve endings
2. bowman's membrane 
homogenous layer of epithelium 
collagen fibers are random
provides strength and acts as barrier to infection 
does NOT regenerate  
3. corneal stroma
corneal fibroblasts (keratocytes)  
  1. Descemet’s membrane
    meshwork of collagen fibers and pores
    can regenerate
    thickens as we age
5. corneal endothelium 
metabolic exchange 
regulates water (lots of Na/K pumps) 
simple squamous 
limited regeneration
20
Q

histology of the sclera

A

thick fibrous layer (DCT)

flat collagen bundles with networks of elastic fibers

lamina cribosa: allow for entering and exiting of nerves/vessels.
the optic disk overlies this (blind spot)

21
Q

3 layers of the sclera?

A
  1. external episcleral layer
    loose CT
  2. middle layer substantia propria (tenon’s capsule)
    investing fascia of eye
    dense network of collagen fibers
    tendons attach here
  3. inner suprachoroidal lamina
    thinner collagen fibers and elastic fibers
22
Q

about the vascular coat (uvea)

A

features: CT, blood vessels, and pigmented cells

  1. iris
    anterior part
    forms a contractile diaphragm in front of lens
    pupil
  2. ciliary body
    between the iris and choroid
    ciliary processes and ciliary muscle
  3. choroid
    posterior portion
    lies between sclera and retina
23
Q

histology of choroid

A

pigmented, dark brown vascular layer

functions: blood supply and absorption of scattered light.

2 layers:

  1. choriocapillary layer
    inner vascular layer
    fenestrated capillaries
  2. Bruch’s membrane (lamina vitrea)
    forms the basal lamina of RPE cells
    has 5 layers
    hyaline membrane
24
Q

about the iris

A

arises from the anterior border of ciliary body
contractile diaphragm

discontinuous layer of fibroblasts and melanocytes
highly vascular Ct stroma

25
Q

histology of the ciliary muscle

A

ciliary muscle = smooth muscle (parasympathetic)

fibers spread in all directions

26
Q

histology of the ciliary processes

A

vascular
covered by double layer of columnar epithelium

zonular fibers = fibrillin

function:
produce and anchor zonular fibers that form the suspensory ligament of the lens
secretion of aqueous humor
part of the blood-aqueous barrier

27
Q

Corneoscleral limbus (junction)

A

transition zone between the cornea and sclera
Bowman’s capsule ends

generate and maintain corneal epithelium

28
Q

Glaucoma

A

increased intraocular pressure

symptoms: 
headache
eye pain
loss of vision 
vomiting
Halo around light 

signs:
vision decreases peripherally
redness
raised pressure

29
Q

vitreous body

A

transparent jelly like substance
mainly collagen fibrils and GAGs (hyaluronan)

has spindle shaped cells = hyalocytes

maintains eye shape and keeps retina in place

change in vitreous humor and lead to retinal detachment

30
Q

histology of retina

A

2 layers

  1. neural retinal (inner layer of optic cup)
    non-photosensitive anterior to ora serrata
    photosensitive is posterior to ora serrata
  2. retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)
    outer layer of optic cup
31
Q

where does retinal detachment most likely occur?

A

the junction of pigment epithelial layer and the rods & cones layer

32
Q

rods

A

cylindrical outer segment
visual pigment is rhodopsin (lack of this leads to night blindness; via no Vit A)
black and white vision
highest density outside of fovea centralis

33
Q

cones

A

thicker and shorter than the rods
conical outer segment
visual pigment is iodopsin

color vision
largest density in fovea centralis

34
Q

Retinal Pigment Epithelium

A

single layer of cuboidal cells

seen to have tight junctions (blood-retina barrier)
basal lamina attached to Bruch’s membrane

functions: 
absorption of light 
major component of blood-retina barrier 
active in visual pigment pathway 
vitamin A metabolism
phagocytosis
35
Q

histology of the lens

A

biconvex
avascular
held in place by the zonular fibers

3 parts:

  1. lens capsule
    thick basal lamina
    produced by anterior lens cells
  2. subcapsular epithelium:
    single layer of cuboidal cells
    proliferate in the germinal layer
  3. lens fibers
    thin and flattened
    loose organelles and accumulate proteins
    formed by epithelial cells in the germinal layer
36
