Orbit Flashcards
What is the most superficial muscle of the orbit? What is its nerve supply?
- Orbicularis Oculi
- CN VII
What are the two portions of the Orbicularis Oculi?
- palbebral portion (inner)
- Outer orbital portion (outer)
What are the layers of the eyelid starting with the skin?
- skin
- orbicularis oculi (palpebral)
- Tarsal plate
- Glands
- Palpebral Conjunctiva
What is Ptosis?
- drooping of the eyelid
- from loss of sympathetic innervation to the eyelid
Complete closure of the eye = damage to somatic fibers
What is mydriasis?
-dilation of the pupil
What nerve innervates the superior oblique?
Trochlear nerve
What nerve innervates the lateral rectus?
Abducens
What nerve innervates all of the eye muscles except for the superior oblique and lateral rectus?
-Occulomotor
Which cranial nerves contain parasympathetics?
3, 7, 9, 10
What is the function of the lacrimal branch of V1?
sensory to the lateral orbit
Which artery supplies the retina?
- central artery of the retina (inner 2/3)
- choroidal vaculature (outer 1/3)
What movement does orbicularis oculi perform?
-light blinking closure of the eye
What happens to the eyelid on the side of a facial nerve lesion?
-can’t close eye
What does the levator palpebrae superioris attach to in the eye lid?
-the superior tarsal plate
What is the innervation to levator palpebrae supeiroris?
- CN III (striated muscle)
- sympathetics from superior cervical ganglion (smooth muscle)
