Ocular Anatomy - Lab 2 Summary of Structures Flashcards
periosteum
connective tissue layer that covers all surface of the bones
contains nerves and blood vessels that provide innervation and nutrients to the bone
periorbita
extensions of the periosteum into the bones of the orbit
connective tissue layer that covers all surface of the bones of the orbit
common tendinous ring
AKA annulus of Zinn
the thickening of the periorbita at the orbital apex
origin of the 4 rectus muscles
attaches to the greater and lesser wings of the sphenoid
Levator palpebrae superioris
Action: elevate the eyelid
Extraocular muscles
LR SR IR MR SO IO
Superior rectus
Origin: common tendinous ring and the periosteal layer of the dura mater surrounding the optic nerve
Action: elevate, intort, adduct
lateral rectus
Origin: common tendinous ring
Action: abduct
medial rectus
Origin: common tendinous ring and the periosteal layer of the dura mater surrounding the optic nerve
Action: adduct
inferior rectus
Origin: common tendinous ring
Action: depress, extort, adduct
superior oblique
Origin: lesser wing of the sphenoid bone
Action: Intort, depress, abduct
inferior oblique
Origin: floor of the orbit on the maxillary bone, just lateral to the opening for the nasolacrimal canal
Action: Extort, elevate, abduct
