Lecture 23+24 +DLA 25 Flashcards
contents of the superior orbital fissure
CN III, IV, V(1), and the superior ophthalmic v.
contents of the inferior orbital fissure
V(2), zygomatic nerve, inferior ophthalmic v, infraorbital a. and v.
contents of the optic canal
CN II and ophthalmic a.
development of the eye
originally develop as a diverticulum of the forebrain neural tube
the diverticulum becomes an optic stalk and near surface ectoderm forms the optic cup
invagination of the optic cup will form the retinal fissure
development of the optic N. (II)
the optic nerve develops from the optic stalk
sclera and choroid development
both develop from mesenchyme tissue surrounding the optic cup
corneal development
corneal epithelium comes from skin ectoderm
fibrous stroma from the mesodermal capsule covering the optic cup
corneal endothelium from NCS
Iris and ciliary body development
Iris = rim of the optic cup
ciliary body = from the optic disk
hyaloid A becomes the central A of the retina
keyhole pupil
results due to the incomplete closure of the retinal fissure
defect can extend to the ciliary and retina
development of the retina
develops from two layers of the optic cup
pigment layer (outer) neural layer (inner)
development of the lens
develops from the lens vesicle (surface ectoderm)
cataracts
may be congenital due to teratogenic agents / infections
or occur later in life due to aging, trauma, radiation, etc
can be removed surgically
innervation of the eye muscles
superior oblique = trochlear n. (CN IV)
lateral rectus = abducens n. (CN VI)
all other extraocular muscles and LPS by oculomotor n. (CN III)
muscles that elevate eye
superior rectus
inferior oblique
muscles that depress or lower the eye
inferior rectus
superior oblique
