Opthalmic and Dental Procedures Flashcards
Colored part of eye?
iris
Tough, fibrous, white outermost layer of eye?
sclera
Small, pink nodule in corner of eye; lacrimal duct?
caruncle
Keeps objects from sliding behind eyeball?
conjunctiva
Where topical opthalamic drugs are administered?
conjunctiva
Part of the eye that forms the optic sheath encircling the optic nerve?
sclera
3 out layers of the eye?
sclera, cornea, conjunctiva
Tough outer layer of eye that is transparent and is the anterior part of the sclera
cornea
Middle layers of eye?
uveal tract, (choroid, iris, ciliary body)
Innermost layer of eye?
retina
Layer that produces O2 for retina?
choroid
Are there capillaries in retina?
no
Part of eye that is a neurosensory membrane which converts light impulses to neural impulses via the optic nerve to the brain
retina
This thick fluid is attached to blood vessels and optic nerve?
vitreous gel
Major cause of vision loss?
retinal detachments from choroid layer
3 layers of tissue which provides most of the nutrients to the eye?
uveal tract
Part of the uveal tract which contains blood vessels, is posterior, and supports the retina?
choroid plexus
Part of the uveal tract which controls light entry with muscle fibers and changes the pupil size?
iris
Sympathetic nervous system control of the iris does what and parasympathetic does what?
SNS- dilate; PNS- constricts
2 functions of the ciliary body?
secretes aqueous fluid and controls shape of the lens
How do the ciliary muscles change the shape of the lens?
tension on the Zonule of Zinn
Where is aqueous humor drained?
Schlems Canal
Where is aqueous humor formed?
posterior chamber
The 3 chambers of the eye ball?
anterior, posterior, viterous
IOP is determined by? And what should it be?
rate of aqueous humor formation to outflow; 25 or less
Which chamber is blocked in glaucoma?
anterior chamber
Schlemms canal is in which chamber?
anterior
Balance between production and elimination of aqueous humor formation maintains an average volume of what?
250 mL
IOP is usually between what and what?
10-22
Part of eye that is fibrous connective tissue from corneal limbus to behind the eye orbit?
Tenon capsule
Main function of Tenon capsule?
serves as cavity in which eye moves
Term for near sighted and far sighted?
myopia; hyperopia
Which type vision is elongated and the focal point is nearer to the lens?
myopia
Which type of vision is where the eye is short and the focal point is further from the lens?
hyperopia
Which type of vision is a concern with a retrobulbar block? And why?
myopia; bc the globe is elongated and the sclera is stretched thin so it is easier to puncture with a needle
What part of the eye turns the image in to the correct perspective?
optic nerve
The optic nerve is a direct connection to what?
occipital lobe
Which type of vision requires glasses for most of life?
myopia
An elongated globe is longer than __mm?
24
A short globe is shorter than __mm?
22
How many muscles are in the eye?
6
The rectus muscles originate from where and how many are there?
annulus of Zin; 4
This nerve controls the superior, inferior, and medial rectus muscles? And is it SNS or PNS innervation?
oculomotor nerve (III); PNS
Which way do the rectus muscles pull the eye?
in the direction of their attachment
Which nerve controls the lateral rectus muscle?
abducens (VI)
How many cranial nerves control the eye?
3
How many oblique muscles of the eye are there?
2
Which nerve controls the superior oblique muscle?
trochlear (IV)
Which nerve controls the inferior oblique muscle?
oculomotor (III)
Which muscle rotates the eye towards the nose or intorts?
superior oblique/trochlear nerve
Which muscle rotates the eye sideways/extorts/vertical gaze action?
inferior oblique/oculomotor
Where is the annulus of Zin? And which muscles originate there?
orbital apex; all ocular muscles except the obliques
CN that conveys visional info from retina to occipital lobe?
optic/II
CN that controls tears and closes the eye lids?
facial/VII
CN that is the efferent pathway for oculocardiac reflex -bradycardia and dysrythmias?
X/vagus
Why is an injection in to the optic nerve sheath basically an injection in to the CNS?
it is covered by meninges
2 branches of the facial nerve (CN VII)?
temporal and zygomatic
Why do you sometimes block the facial nerve with an eye block?
because the branches control the opening and closing of the eye
How many bones and what are they that form the eye orbit?
7; frontal, sphenoid, lacrimal, ethmoid, maxillary, palatine, zygomatic
How is each eye orbit shaped?
like a pear and has 4 sided pyramid
Where is the blood supply to the rectus muscles from? And where is it primarily from?
1st branch of internal carotid artery, primarily from opthalmic artery
Medial muscular branch is?
medial rectus, inferior rectus, inferior oblique (MII)
The lateral muscular branch is?
lateral rectus, superior rectus, and superior oblique (LSS)
Ciliary artery branches in to (2)?
short posterior and long posterior
This artery supplies the globe, choroid, optic nerve head, and external part of retina?
short posterior
