Module 1 Orbit And Eye Flashcards
Origin of Levator palpebrae superioris
Elevation of upper eyelid
Innervated by occulomotor nerve
Origin of inferior oblique
Elevation of eyeball (look up)
Lateral rotation of eyeball (look outward)
Innervated by occulomotor nerve
Origin of superior oblique
Depression of eyeball (look down)
Abduction of eyeball (look out)
Medial rotation if eyeball
Innervated by trochlear nerve
Eyeball rotation is limited around the anterior posterior axis
Origin of medial rectus
Addiction of eyeball (looking in)
Innervated by occulomotor nerve
Common tendinous ring is a fibrous band inside the orbit that surrounds the optic canal and part of superior orbital fissure
Origin of inferior rectus
Depression of eyeball (look down)
Addiction of eyeball (look in)
Lateral rotation of eyeball
Innervated by occulomotor nerve
Common tendinous ring
Located on posterior orbit
Fibrous ring that surrounds structures entering orbit through optic canal and medial part of superior orbital fissure
Origin of rectus muscles of eye
Origin of lateral rectus
Abduction of eyeball (looking out)
Innervated by abducens nerve
Origin of superior rectus
Elevation of eyeball (look up)
Adduction of eyeball (look in)
Medial rotation of eyeball
Innervated by occulomotor nerve
Eyeball rotation is limited movement
Orbital surface of the frontal bone
Roof of orbital
Has anterolateral fossa for lacrimal gland
Entire orbital roof formed by frontal bone and lesser wing of the sphenoid bone
Orbital plate of ethmoid bone
Medial wall of the orbit
Thin walled smooth lateral surface of ethmoid bone that forms large part of medial wall of orbit
Covers middle and posterior ethmoidal air cells
Aka lamina papyracea
Sphenoid bone
Unpaired irregular bone of the skull that resembles a butterfly
Contains sella turcica
Orbital surface of maxilla
Orbit floor, smooth bony plate
Forms medial and anterior boundaries of inferior orbital fissure
Floor of orbit susceptible to blow out fracture following anterior blunt force to eye (fist, elbow, baseball)
Fossa for lacrimal sac
Shallow depression that contains lacrimal sac and continues inferiorly with nasolacrimal duct
Lacrimal sac collects tear fluid from lacrimal canaliculi
Superior orbital fissure
Located in posterior region of orbit and middle cranial fossa
Oblique fissure bordered by sphenoid bone and frontal bone
Connects orbit with middle cranial fossa, transmits occulomotor, trochlear, and abducens nerves as well as branches of the opthalmic nerve
Optic canal
Short canal connecting orbit with middle cranial fossa
Transmits optic nerve and opthalmic artery
Eye
Globe like structure composed of three layers (fibrous, vascular, and neural)
Fibrous is cornea and sclera
Vascular is choroid, ciliary body, and iris
Neural is retina and pigment epithelium
Optical components collect and focus light while neural portions process and transmit light driven signals to the brain
Inferior rectus muscle
Depression of eyeball, Adduction of eyeball, lateral rotation of eyeball
Inferior oblique muscle
Elevation of eyeball, lateral rotation of eyeball
Superior rectus muscle
Elevation of eyeball, Adduction of eyeball, medial rotation of eyeball
Eyeball rotation is a limited movement
