29
Q

What controls the superior oblique?

A

CN IV

30
Q

What happens with CN IV palsy?

A

the eye will elevate

31
Q

Can legally blind patients see and walK? Why?

A
32
Q

What does CNIII (oculomotor) innervate?

A

the superior rectus
the medial rectus
the inferior rectus
the inferior oblique

33
Q

What are the actions of the muscles that CN III innervates?

A

the superior rectus - elevation
the medial rectus - adduction
the inferior rectus - depression
the inferior oblique - elevation

34
Q

What eye muscle is innervated by CN IV?

A

superior oblique

35
Q

What does the superior oblique do?

A

depression

36
Q

Where does CN IV attach?

A

posterior midbrain

37
Q

What is unique about CNIV?

A
  • contralateral muscle control
  • ex) R nucleus of trochlear nerve controls left superior oblique
38
Q

What eye muscles are innervates by CN VI (abducens)?

A
  • lateral rectus
  • relay for MLF
39
Q

What are the functions of the structures innervated by CN VI?

A
  • lateral rectus: abduction
  • relay for MLF: vertical and horizontal gaze center control
40
Q

What is accommodation of the eye?

A

eye adjustment for objects close or far

41
Q

What 3 changes happen when items go from far to close?

A
  1. pupil constriction
  2. ciliary body contraction
  3. bilateral eyes ADD
42
Q

What 3 changes happen when items go from close to far?

A
  1. pupils dilate
  2. ciliary body relaxes
  3. bilateral eyes ABD
43
Q

What is saccades?

A

helps eyes move fast to process images

44
Q

What is fixation?

A

helps eyes look for longer duration

45
Q

What is smooth pursuit?

A

eyeballs follow moving objects or pattens
- dynamic fixation

46
Q

What helps with fixation?

A
  • tiny saccades and drift
47
Q

When asked to look forward, the patient presents with the left eye forward but the right eye adducted. Which muscle or nerve is compromised?

A
  • right lateral rectus
  • CN VI
48
Q

What is the lag between sensory processing?

A

200ms

49
Q

Does UMN have direct muscle innervation?

A

NO

50
Q

What does UMN modulate?

A

lower motor neuron functions such as FEF, SC, gaze centers, etc

51
Q

Does LMN have muscle innervation?

A

YES direct motor innervation

52
Q

What does LMN innervate in the eye?

A

What aspects of movement are UMN functions?

A
  • intention (direction) of the movement
  • Intensity (speed and extension) of the movement
