Lecture 4.3 - Muscles of eyes, mastication, soft palate, and tongue Flashcards
What is a lacrimal apparatus?
the path of a tear from the lacrimal gland to the nasal cavity
- lacrimal gland produces tear (parasympathetic from facial nerve)
- lacriman ducts, surface of eye, lacrimale lake/puncta/canaliculi/sac, nasolacrimal duct, nasal cavity inferior to the inferior concha
What are the muscles of eye movement?
- 6 ocular muscles move the eyeball – 4 straight and 2 oblique
- the 4 rectus muscles arise by a common tendinous ring
Where does the tendon of superior oblique muscles run through?
- through a fibrocartilaginous loos called trochlea and then inserts into the sclera of eyeball
Inferior oblique eye muscle (OINA)
O: orbital plate of maxilla
I: sclera of eye
N: Oculomotor
A: elevates and laterally deviates gaze
Superior oblique eye muscle (OINA)
O: common tendinous ring
I: sclera of eye
N: trochlear
A: depresses and laterally deviates gaze
Inferior Rectus eye muscle (OINA)
O: common tendinous ring
I: sclera of eye
N: oculomotor
A: depresses and medially deviates gaze
Lateral Rectus eye muscle (OINA)
O: common tendinous ring
I: sclera of eye
N: abducens
A: laterally deviates gaze
Media Rectus eye muscle (OINA)
O: common tendinous ring
I: sclera of eye
N: oculomotor
A: medially deviates haze
Superior Rectus eye muscle (OINA)
O: common tendinous ring
I: sclera of eye
N: oculomotor
A: elevated and medially deviates gaze
What are the extraocular muscle functions?
- once the eye is adducted, the superior and inferior obliques work best to lower and raise the eye
- once the eye is abducted, the superior and inferior recti work best to raise and lower the eye
What muscles are needed to look directly upwards?
both superior rectus and inferior oblique
What muscles are needed to look directly down?
both inferior rectus and superior oblique
What are the characteristics of the trigeminal nerve and its 3 branches?
- main sensory nerve for head
- motor nerve for the muscles of mastication
- 3 large branches:
- to the area above and media to the eye (sensory)
- the the maxillary region (sensory)
- to the mandibular region (sensory and motor)
What happens if there is a lesion in the trigeminal nerve?
- causes anesthesia of corresponding areas of scalp, face, cornea, conjunctiva, nose, mouth and tongue and also paralysis of muscles of mastication; when mouth is opened mandible moves to paralyzed side
Temporalis (OIA)
O: floor of temporal fossa
I: coronoid process of mandible
A: anterior and posterior fibers elevate mandible; posterior fibers retract mandible
