Q

What are the 3 chambers of the eye?

A

anterior chamber- between cornea and iris filled with aqueous humor
posterior chamber- between iris and lens filled with aqueous humor
postremal viterous chamber- behind the lens willed with gelatinous viterous humor

71
Q

what are the 3 layers of the eye?

A

sclera- posterior 5/6ths of eye. opaque. becomes continous with the dura

choroid- intermediate layer
retina-

72
Q

What is the cornea?

A

transparant principal refracting medium of the eye that roughly focuses image onto retina

main focus, espeically after 10 feet

5 layers

AVASCULAR- gets diffusion of metaboites from aqueous humor and blood vells of limbus, and some o2 from environment

73
Q

why do you get red eye in photos?

A

eye is very vascular- light emphasises the blood vessels

uveal layer- middle layer

74
Q

What is the ciliary body?

A

in uveal ayer with

continous with choroid

bulk consists of smooth muscle (ciliary muscle) around the lens that contracts to reduce tension of the suspensory ligament to thicken lens

far vision- lens open
near visiton lens smaller (ciliary contracts)

parasymptaheic nerve fibers CNIII via ciliary ganglion

75
Q

What do ciliary processes do>

A

folds in ciliary body that continously produce aqueous humor

AH is like CSF

provides metabolites to cells and reabsobd into canal of Schlemm

fluid pumped and pulled into drain- if build up willl compress retina = glaucoma

76
Q

What is the number 1 cause of blindness?

A

glaucoma- increased intraocular pressure

compresses retina, optic nerve and blood vessels= not draining aqueous humor

blurred vision, halos around bright objects, pain, blindness

77
Q

What is the difference between open angle glaucoma and angle closure glaucoma?

A

Open-

closed- blocked trabecular netwowrk and too much AH produced trapped in posterior chamber iris lifts off lens

78
Q

What is the lens?

A

arise from ciliary body
anteior art of uveal layer of eye
shutter on camera

finetuning close vision

nuclei may be missing or on the side to not block view

79
Q

What muscles control the pupil?

A

constrictor pupillae- circumferentially oriented smooth muscle PARASYMP

dialate- radially oriented dilator pupillae muscle. SYMP

constant regulation

80
Q

What does limited light do?

A

helps retina

smaller hole- better focus

81
Q

How is the cillary muscle innervated?

A

paraympathetic only! causes lens to thicken

circumferential

82
Q

What is considered far vision>

A

after 10 feet

83
Q

what happens when changing vision from far to near?

A

parasympathetic system

lens fatter/pupil constrict

84
Q

What are the layers of the retina?

A

outter- rods and cones w/ cell bodies= photoreceptors
middle- bipolar cells (integrate sensory input from receptor before CNS)
inner- ganglia of optic nerve

85
Q

What are rods vs cones?

A
rods
not for day light
for dim
1 type of photopigment
edgoes but not color
long/easy to hit = single photos

cones
daylight
faster on/off
color- relative to output %

86
Q

What is the first optic action potential>

A

optic nerve

87
Q

How does like travel through retina?

A

light goes through cell layer to photoreceptors

neural info goes opposite direction

88
Q

What is the weakest part of the rena? dark spots/blurry

A

where photoreceptors meet the layer can lift off if not fixed they die

89
Q

What is the pigmented epithelia>

back stop so light only goes through eye once- otherwise “house of mirrors”

90
Q

what is a mueller cell?

A

retinal barrier and support

91
Q

What is the fovea?

optic disc= where blood vessels come in (retinal artery)

no photoreceptors

apex points medially

different between each eye

93

ophthalmic

retinal and uveal systems

central artery of retina and central vein of retina

uveal= ophtahlmic artery branches of ciliary arteries long and short

94
Q

What is venus drainage of the retina?

A

central vein

drains to cavernous sinus (may join ophtalmic veins)

95
Q

What happens if there is a change in CSF?

will squeeze into optic nerve

artery and nerve okay but vein can collapse
