Orbit Flashcards
Drainiage via Inferior Orbital Fissure: then to pterygoid plexus
Inferior Ophthalmic Vein
Superior Ophthalmic V drains to
Superior Orbital Fissure
Special about venous supply of eye?
you have arteries coming in one way, but the veins exit a different path
uses optic canal along w/ CN II
*branch of internal carotid
Opthlamic Artery
seen when you section optic nerve (pierces it and supplies portions or retina)
Central artery of retina
heads superior and medial to lacrimal gland
Lacrimal artery
7 branches of Opthalmic artery
- Central artery of retina:
- Lacrimal artery:
- Supraorbital artery
- Supratrochlear artery: terminal branch
- Doral nasal artery: terminal branch
- Poster & anterior ethmoidal artery: medially pierce ethmoid bone
- Short and long ciliary arteries penetrate sclera of eye
Contributes to eye via branch called Infraorbital artery via infraorbital foramen
External Carotid
Two main arterial supplies in eye
External Carotid + Opthalmic Artert
Path of External Carotid
external carotid branch→ Maxillary Artery branch→ Infraorbital artery
What supplies: inferior rectus
- inferior oblique - lacrimal gland
Infraorbital artery
What three branches does Infraorbital artery anastomose with?
anastomosis with dorsal nasal artery (thus have anastomosis btwn internal/external carotids via infraorbital artery (external)—Dorsal Nasal artery (internal) and the Facial Artery
How is there an anastomotic connection bewteen external and internal carotids in the orbit?
anastomosis with dorsal nasal artery (thus have anastomosis btwn internal/external carotids via infraorbital artery (external)—Dorsal Nasal artery (internal)
Three branches of External Artery in the eye
a. Facial~ anastomose w/ Dorsal facial artery
b. Transverse Facial anastomose w/ the infraorbital and lacrimal arteries
c. Infraorbital
Drainage of lacrimal gland
Drains→ superior fornix (where conj folds over)
flows inferiorly and medially toward papilla
Passage of lacrimal drainage
openings in lacrimal papillae →lacrimal caruncle→lacrimal canaliculi→ lacrimal sac→ nasolacrimal duct→ inferior nasal meatus which extends posteriorly through posterior aspect of cavity→ pharnyxn→ esophagus (too much teasrs = tears out the nose!
Where does nasolacrimal duct lie?
w/in nasolacrimal canal
CC to CN II
Visual Field Defects
Brach that supplies Somatic Sensory (pain/temp/pressure from globe of eye and highly innervated cornea)
a. From forehead and skin of medially aspect of face~ tip of nose
Opthalmic region of the Trigeminal = CN V1
Pathway of V1 sensory branch
Peripheral processes trasmit sensation from sense neurons→ through SOF→ through Cavernous Sinus
Synaspse @ NCB in Trigeminal Ganglion→ then transmits central processes Central Processes transmit sensation to Principap Sensory Nucleus and Spinal nucleus of V From here, these central processes will send info to cortex for processing so you can tell where the sensation is located
Special about V1
VIP branches of Opthalmic (V1) **ALL SENSORY V1 is SENSORY
Branch of V1 that innervates the lacrimal gland
Lacrimal Nerve
Has these three subdivision
Supratrochlear nerve (most medial)
-supraorbital nerve (middle) (divides further to medial and lateral branches)
-nerve to Frontal sinus (dives deep)
Frontal nerve
Frontal nerve comes from
V1
Branches of Nasociliary nerve
- Anteroior and Posterior Ethmoidal Nerves
- Infratrochlear nerve
- Meningeal Nerve
- Long Ciliary Nerve: pierces sclera
- Short Ciliary nerve: pierce sclera and goes to ciliary ganglion
Origin of nasociliary nerve
V1
Muscles innervated by CN III
Levator palpebrae, Superior rectus, Inferior Rectus, Medial Rectus, Inferior Oblique
