Ophthalmic Pharmacology Flashcards
The ocular globe is protected by the _____ and _____ tissue and _______ structures
bony, soft, adnexal
Adnexal tissues of the eye include
Eyelids
* Nictitating membrane
* Conjunctiva
* Lacrimal glands
* Nasolacrimal system
The adenexal tissues of the eye function to?
Mechanical protection
and immune surveillance
Label the image accordingly
The globe is composed of three tunics:
- External, fibrous tunic (cornea and sclera) → It
provides rigidity - Middle vascular tunic (iris + ciliary body + choroid)
→ which provide blood supply, maintain the IOP,
and control light entry to the retina - Neural tunic (sensory retina) → signal
transmission important for the visual function
External, fibrous tunic is composed of ? And functions to ?
(cornea and sclera) → It provides rigidity
Middle vascular tunic is composed of? Functions to?
(iris + ciliary body + choroid)
which provide blood supply, maintain the IOP, and control light entry to the retina
Neural tunic is composed of? Functions to?
(sensory retina) → signal transmission important for the visual function
The crystalline lens ________ light rays on the _______
retina→ optimal ________ power
focuses, sensory, focusing
Aqueous humor (AH) produced by the ______ ____
occupies the space between the _____ and the ____
(________ chamber), and nourishes the avascular ______ and _____
ciliary, body, cornea, lens, anterior, cornea, lens
Vitreous humor (VH) occupies the space between the _____ and _______ _____. It maintains _________ integrity of the __________ portion of the globe
lens, sensory, retina, structural, posterior
The globe may also be subdivided in:
➢ Anterior segment (structures anterior to the
junction of the retina and ciliary body)
➢ Posterior segment (structures posterior to this
junction
Name the two blood-ocular barriers. What is their main function?
The Blood-aqueous barrier and the Blood-retinal barrier. These barriers also impede entrance of many drugs
The Blood-aqueous barrier and the Blood-retinal barrier function to?
Both limit the entrance of blood components into the eye (WBC, RBC, large proteins, and lipid) –> Transparency of the ocular media necessary for vision
Intraocular inflammation _______ effectiveness of these barriers, allowing some drugs to enter the eye.
decreases
Autonomic ocular innervation
→ parasympathetic (ACh)
→ sympathetic (NE)
Make cards for this
Label accordingly
Which parts of the eye are parasympathetically innervated?
Parasympathetic innervation of:
* Lacrimal glands
* Iris sphincter muscle
* Extraocular muscles (control the movements of the eyes
Which parts of the eye are sympathetically innervated?
Sympathetic innervation of:
* Adnexal and orbital smooth muscle
* Iris dilator muscle
* Ciliary body (where AH is produced)
* Iridocorneal angle (ICA) structures (where AH drains)
Corneal epithelium: ?
lipophilic
Corneal stroma: ?
hydrophilic
Corneal endothelium: ?
lipophilic
Corneal epithelium: lipophilic
Corneal stroma: hydrophilic
Corneal endothelium: lipophilic
These layers limit?
IO movement of all but biphasic drugs
