Lecture 9 - Eye movement Flashcards
What muscles help with eye opening?
- levator palpebrae superioris
- superior tarsal muscle
Where are the horizontal and vertical gaze centers located?
Horizontal: pontomedullary junction
Vertical: between diencephalon and midbrain
Where does levator palpebrae superioris originate?
common tendinous ring
Where does levator palpebrae superioris attach?
superior tarsal plates
What innervates the levator palpebrae superioris?
CN III
What happens if levator palpebrae superioris does not work?
ptosis (eyelid droops majorly)
Where does the superior tarsal muscle originate?
levator palpebrae superioris tendon
Where does the superior tarsal muscle attach?
superior tarsal plate
What innervates the superior tarsal muscle?
sympathetic component from superior cervical ganglion (SCG)
What happens if the superior tarsal muscle does not work?
partial ptosis
What are the four recti muscles of the eye?
- superior rectus (SR)
- inferior rectus (IR)
- medial rectus (MR)
- lateral rectus (LR)
What are the two oblique muscles?
- superior oblique (SO)
- inferior oblique (IO)
Where do all the recti muscles (and SO) attach?
the common tendinous ring
Where does the inferior oblique attach?
medial superior surface of the maxilla
What are the transverse plane eye movements?
- adduction and abduction
What are the sagittal plane movements of the eye?
- elevation and depression
What are the coronal plane movements of the eye?
- extorsion and intorsion
What is extorsion?
external rotation / counterclockwise movement
What is intorsion?
internal rotation/ clockwise movement
What is the movement of normal attachment of the lateral rectus?
ABD
What is the movement of lateral rectus with a distal attachment superior to the axis
ABD and elevation
What is the movement of the lateral rectus with a distal attachment with extra-connective tissue sleeves?
ABD and elevation
What are the actions of the superior rectus?
look laterally and upward
What are the actions of the inferior rectus?
look laterally and downward
What are the actions of the lateral rectus?
look laterally
What are the actions of the medial rectus?
look medially
