26
Q

Retina contains (3)

A

Photosensitive rods
Cones
Specialized neurons

27
Q

3 layers of specialized neurons in retina

A

Plexiform = synaptic contacts
Nuclear = neuronal cell bodies (nuclei)
Ganglion cell layer = axons leave eye as optic nerve

28
Q

Tapetum lucidum

A

Part of choroid
Reflects photons back to retina to give retina another chance for photoreceptors to capture photons

29
Q

Optic disk is the exit of

A

Optic nerve

30
Q

Effect of increased intracranial pressure on optic nerve

A

Squeezes optic nerve
Prevents normal blood flow through central retinal vessels
Choked disk

31
Q

Effect of constricting lens on light

A

Reduces light entering eye

32
Q

Effect of changing shape of lens

A

Increases or reduces refraction of light for focusing

33
Q

How does lens change shape during focus and accommodation

A

Constriction
Dilation
Change shape

34
Q

What 4 structures allow lens to focus/accommodate

A

Ciliary muscle fibers
Dilator papillae
Constrictor papillae
Zonular fibers/suspensory ligaments

35
Q

Zonular fibers functions (2)

A

Attach lens capsule to ciliary body
Can pull equator of eye to make eye more flat

36
Q

Benefit of rounder lens

A

Focus on nearer object

37
Q

Benefit of flatter lens

A

Focus on more distant objects

38
Q

Parasympathetic stimulation of ciliary muscle

A

Contraction

39
Q

Relationship of ciliary muscle and Zonular fibers

A

When ciliary muscle is contracted, Zonular fibers relax

40
Q

When object is far away: effect on ciliary muscle, Zonular fibers, lens shape

A

Ciliary muscle relaxed
Zonular fibers under tension
Lens stretched thin to refract light for distant vision

41
Q

When object is nearby: effect on ciliary muscle, zonular fibers, lens shape

A

Ciliary muscle contracted
Zonular fibers relax
Lens more spherical/thicker to refract light for near vision
**parasympathetic stimulation

42
Q

2 muscles that control pupil diameter

A

Dilator papillae
Constrictor pupillary

43
Q

Lateral wall of orbit formed by what muscle

A

Temporalis

44
Q

Orbital septum

A

Connective tissue sheet around eyelids
Goes to wall of orbit

45
Q

Tarsus: eyelid

A

Fibrous structure for rigidity

46
Q

What is embedded in tarsal plates of eyelid

A

Tarsal/meibomian glands

47
Q

Tarsal/meibomian glands: location, definition, functions

A

In tarsal plate
Modified sebaceous glands that secrete oily substance
Increases viscosity of tears, decreases tear evaporation from surface of eye

48
Q

What nerve controls eyelid

A

Facial nerve

49
Q

Chalazion

A

Inflammation/blockage of meibomian glands

50
Q

Meibomian gland tumors

A

Growth of meibomian gland can disrupt normal irrigation of cornea
Gland still produces substance despite blockage

51
Q

What 2 structures form conjunctival sac when eye is closed

A

Bulbar and palpebral conjunctiva
