what produces the lipid part of tear film?
meibomian glands
what produces the mucin/mucous portion of tear film?
conjunctiva
what produces the aqueous part of the tear film?
lacrimal gland 70%

what makes up the fibrous tunic?
cornea
sclera
what makes up the vascular tunic?
choroid
ciliary bodies
iris
what makes up the nervous tunic?
retina
optic n
what are the five layers of the cornea? which are hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
epithelium - hydrophobic
bowman layer (not in dog/cats)
stroma - hydrophilic
descemet’s membrane - hydrophobic
endothelium
what are the four reasons the cornea is clear?
- regularity of collagen fibers
- very low cellularity
- lack of blood & lymph vessels
- relative dehydration
what makes the cornea an obstacle for drug delievery?
it is relatively dehydrated
what “bends the light” to provide the most refractive power of the eye
tear film
how is the shape of the globe maintained?
aqueous humor in the anterior chamber
what produces the aqueous humor?
ciliary bodies
what cones do dogs have?
blue
yellow-green
makes them deuteranopia (red-green colorblind)
what tapetum do dogs, cats, humans and ruminants have
holangiotic
what tapetum do rabbits have
merangiotic
what tapetum do equine and elephants have
paurangiotic
what tapetum do birds and reptiles have
anagiotic
what cranial n causes Horner’s syndrome?
none - loss of sympathetic tone
purpose of frontal n block in equine?
block sensation of upper lid and cornea
purpose of auriculopalpebral n block in equine?
block motor of upper lid (blink)
what are the retinal reflexes?
PLR
Dazzle
what are the retinal responses?
menace
maze testing
red cornea?
blood
white and whispy cornea?
fibrosis
