Into the superior palpebral fornix

40
Q

Spatial: palpebral fornix

A

the junction of the palpebral and orbital conjunctiva

41
Q

What cells are in the lacriminal gland?

A

Serous only cells that secrete a watery solution that contains the bacteriocidal enzyme lysozyme, which provides nurtirents and dissolved oxegyn to the cornea

42
Q

What are the two portions of the lacriminal gland?

A

The palebral protion and the orbital portion

43
Q

Where do tears collect?

A

In the superior fornix of the upper lid, and pass over the eye surface, aided by blinking

44
Q

What is the drainage system called?

A

The lacrminal apparatus

45
Q

How do tears drain?

A

They flow from the superlaterally placed lacriminal gland inferomedially to the medial canthus of the eye, where they drain:
Punctua lacrimali: drain opening
Lacrminal canaliculus: duct
Lacriminal sac: collection of fluid
Nasolacriminal duct: drainage to nasal sinus

46
Q

Are the motor fibers to the lacrimal gland parasympathetic or sympathetic in nature?

A

parasympathetic

47
Q

What cranial nerve is associated with the lacriminal gland?

A

CN VII, through the greater petrosal nerve

48
Q

What is the nerve of the pterygoid canal?

A

the greater petrosal nerve + the deep petrosal nerve, which courses into the ptergopalatine fossa to the pterygopalatine ganglion where only the parasympathetic fibers synapse

49
Q

What does sympathetic stimulation of the lacriminal gland result in?

A

vasoconstriction and a subsequent decrease in tear production

50
Q

What makes a muscle a recti muscle?

A

It originates from the annulus tendineus

51
Q

What is the annulus tendineus?

A

a fibrous ring which encircles the junction of the super and inferior orbital fissures and the optic canal

52
Q

What are the recti muscles?

A

Superior rectus, inferior

53
Q

What are the extraocular muscles?

A

superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, lateral rectus, superior oblique (sphenoid), inferior oblique (maxilla), levator palpebrae superioris (sphenoid)

54

Superior oblique: down and out
Superior recti muscles: medial
Inferior recti muscles: medial

55
Q

What is the role of the trochlear nerve?

A

It innervates the superior oblique muscle (which passes through the trochlea)

58
Q

What is the role of the abducent nerve?

A

It innervates the lateral rectus muscle (which abducts the eye)

59
Q

How do the three oculomotor nerves enter the orbit?

A

Through the superior orbital fissure

60
Q

How does the optic nerve enter the orbit?

A

via the optic canal, with the ophthalmic artery

61
Q

What is the largest nerve in the orbit?

62
Q

What supplies sensory innervation to the orbit and external eye?

A

the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve

63
Q

Spatial: lacriminal nerve

A

Part of the opthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve. Runs along the superior and lateral aspect of the orbit to supply sensory innervation to the lacrimal gland and the lateral aspect of the eye and the upper and lower palpebrae. Postganglionic parasympathetics join this nerve after running with the zygomaticotemporal branch of V2

64
Q

Spatial: frontal nerve

A

Part of the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve. Runs along the roof of the orbit superior to the levator papebrae superioris muscle. Divides into medial supratrochlear nerve and lateral supraorbital nerve.

A

sensory innervation to the skin above the medial canthus and a portion of the scalp

66
Q

Role: supraorbital nerve

A

supplies the superior palpebral and the scalp above

67
Q

A

crosses above the optic nerve from lateral to medial, and gives off following branches:

1) communicating branch to the ciliary ganglion
2) long ciliary nerves
3) posterior ethmoidal nerve
4) anterior ethmoidal nerve
5) infratrochlear nerve

68
Q

Spatial: Ciliary ganglion

A

located between the optic nerve and the lateral rectus muscle

69
Q

What fibers synapse in the ciliary ganglion?

A

parasympathetic fibers from CNIII

70
Q

What fibers enter the ciliary ganglion?

A

sensory, sympathetic, and parasympathetic

71
Q

Where do parasympathetic fibers of oculomotor nerve originate from?

A

edinger-westphal nucleus of oculomotor nerve

72
Q

What do the parasympathetic fibers of CNIII do?

A

cause constriction of the pupil (sphincter pupillae m) and allow the eye to focus on near objects (contraction of the ciliary muscle)

73
Q

What nerves are in the orbit?

A

optic nerve, oculomotor, trochlear, trigeminal (1), adbducent, sympathetics, parasympathetics

74
Q

What are the branches of the optic artery?

A

meningeal branches, lacrimal, central retina, long and short ciliary, supraorbital, anterior ethmoidal, posterior ethmoidal, supratrochlear, medial and lateral palpebral, dorsal nasal
