LECTURE: Orbit Flashcards
What sinuses lie between the orbits?
ethmoid
The contents of the orbit are surrounded by
bone and orbital fascia
What makes up the bony orbital walls? (4)
- Medial: ethmoid bone, maxillary bone and lacrimal bone
- Floor: maxillary bone.
- Lateral: sphenoid bone and zygomatic bone.
- Roof: frontal bone.
What are the openings in and around the orbit? (5)
- supraorbital foramen
- infraorbital foramen
- superior orbital fissure
- inferior orbital fissure
- optic canal
What travels through the superior orbital fissure?
III, IV, V1, VI
What travels through the optic canal?
optic nerve and opthalmic artery
