Ocular Anatomy Flashcards
Obj: Innervation of extraocular muscles
- Oculomotor (CN III)
- Trochlear (CN IV)
- Abducens (CN VI)
Obj: Purpose of tapetum
Allows for second stimulation of photoreceptors - increases low-light vision
Obj: Vascular patterns in the retina
- Holangiotic Vascular Pattern
- Merangotic Pattern
- Paurangiotic
- Anangiotic
What are the medical abbreviations for the eyes?
- OD - Oculus dexter
- Right eye
