Lecture 25: Eye and Orbit I Flashcards
3 tunics of the eye
Fibrous
Vascular
Neural
Fibrous tunic: 2 components, location
Sclera and cornea
Outermost layer
vascular tunic: position, components
2nd layer
Vascularized
Composed of choroid, ciliary body and iris
Layers of cornea from superficial to deep (5)
Stratified squamous epithelium (can regenerate)
Bowman’s membrane
Collage fibers
Descemet’s (acellular)
Stratified cuboidal epithelium (impermeable)
What happens to collagen fibers in cornea as they mature
Become crystalline
Clear for light to pass through
Layers of sclera from superficial to deep (4)
Stratified squamous conjunctival epithelium
Episclera with blood vessels
Stroma with thick collagen
Suprachoroid lamina with melanocytes
3 components of vascular tunic
Ciliary body
Choroid layer
Iris
Ciliary body
Contains ciliary muscle
Changes lens shape for accommodation/focus
Ciliary muscle is under what kind of control
Parasympathetic
Choroid layer contains
Blood vessels
Anterior layer of iris contains what muscle
Constrictor pupillae
Constrictor papillae is under what kind of control
Parasympathetic
Oral Serrata definition
Junction between retina and ciliary body
Components of neural tunic
Orra serrata
Optic retina
Dilator pupillae
Dilator pupillae under what kind of control
Sympathetic
Canal of schlemme function
Drains aqueous humor from anterior/prelental chamber to venous system
2 regions of lens
Prelental
Retrolental
Which region of lens is filled with aqueous humor
Prelental
Retrolental region of iris is filled with
Vitreous body = gel
Light pathway
Cornea —> aqueous humor —> iris —> lens —> vitreous body —> retina
2 types of photoreceptors
Rods
Cones
Rods
Very sensitive
Vision in light of low intensity predominate
Only 1 type of pigment
Cones: definition
Visual acuity and color vision
2 types
2 types of cones
Short and medium wavelength sensitivities (blue vs green)
Major of neural tunic is what structure
Retina
