The space that contains the eye, connective tissue, and fat
Orbit
The orbital roof is composed of:
The frontal bone and the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone
A raised area of bone on the anterior lateral wall of the orbit
Whitnall’s tubercle
The medial wall of the orbit is composed of:
The frontal process of the maxilla, lacrimal bone, ethmoid bone, and a small portion of the lesser wing of the sphenoid
The orbital floor is composed of:
Maxilla, zygomatic bone, orbital process of the palatine bone
Layers of connective tissue within the orbit
Orbital fascia
3 types of orbital fascia
Bulbar fascia, periosteum, and orbital septum
A thin, dense, fibrous membrane that extends over the eyeball - stretches from the optic nerve entrance posteriorly to the margin of the cornea
Fascia bulbi (tenon’s capsule)
The space between the episclera and Tenon’s capsule is called
Episcleral or tenon’s space or strands of loose connective tissue
Outer to tenon’s capsule is
Orbital fat
Posteriorly in the orbit, a muscle is ensheathed by its epimysium, but anteriorly it is ensheathed by the epimysium as well as by:
Tenon’s capsule
Superior rectus fascia sends extensions to unite with the fascial extension from the ___________________________ muscle
Levator palpebrae superioris muscle
The inferior rectus fascia becomes continuous with that of the
Inferior oblique
A collagen hammock that helps hold the eye and orbital contents in place
Suspensory ligament of Lockwood
All orbital striated muscles send off a __________ ligament that anchor them to the bones of the orbitals to other structures nearby
check ligament
The check ligament and sheath of the levator palpebrae superioris is a derivative of
Tenon’s capsule
The check ligament of the lateral rectus inserts to ________________ of the zygomatic bone
Whitnall’s tubercle
The connective tissue coating of the orbital bones that arises from the dura mater of the optic nerve - which follows the optic nerve to the orbital canal
Periorbita
At the orbital opening, some dura mater continues as the dura of intraorbital part of optic nerve. The rest of the dura mater splits away to become
Periorbita
Bone attachments at sutures leave a mark on the ______________ when it is removed from bone
Periorbita
Part of the connective tissue layer of eyelids formed when the Periorbita at the orbital margin runs vertically into the eyelids
Orbital septum
The orbital septum ends on the aponeurosis of the _________________________________ in the upper lid and the tarsal plate in the lower lid
Levator palpebrae superioris
Much of the tissue posterior to the orbital septum is
Orbital fat
_________________ is divided into fat compartments by the extraocular rectus muscles and thin connective tissue layers
Orbital(retrobulbar) fat
