31
Q

What are the 3 primary branches that V1 divides into?

A

“NFL”

  • Nasociliary n.

  • Lacrimal n.
32
Q

What is the pw of the nasociliary n. across the eye? What branches does it give off (just kind of know them)

A
  • Lateral to medial

- Short ciliary nn., long ciliary nn., posterior ethmoidal n., anterior ethmoidal n., infratrochlear n.

33
Q

How does the communicating branch of the ciliary ganglion reach the eye?

A

Runs thru the ciliary ganglion w/o synapsing, then reaches eye by running w/short ciliary nn.

34
Q

What are the only types of fibers that synapse w/ciliary ganglion?
What other fibers run directly thru it?

A
  • Parasymp fibers from CN III

- Sensory and symp fibers

35
Q

What m. causes constriction of the pupil via parasympathetic stimulation?

A

Sphincter pupillae m.

36
Q

What m. causes allows eye to focus on nearby objects via parasympathetic stimulation?

A

Ciliary m. contraction

37
Q

After passing thru ciliary ganglion, how to sympathetic fibers enter the eye?
What m. do they innervate and what’s its function?

A
  • Short and long ciliary nn.

- Dilator pupillae mm. –> dilate pupil

38
Q

What are the 7 branches of the ophthalmic a. that Dr. Frystak cares about?

A
Lacrimal (taggable)
Central retinal
Long and short ciliary (choroidal)
Supraorbital (taggable)
Anterior ethmoidal
Posterior ethmoidal
Supratrochlear
39
Q

What veins drain the orbit?
What hole do they pass thru?
Where do they drain to?

A
  • Superior and inferior ophthalmic vv.
  • Superior orbital fissure
  • Cavernous sinus
40
Q

What are the 3 layers of the eye, outside to inside?

A

Schlera, choroid, retina

41
Q

What are responsible for the production of the eye’s aqueous humor?

A
Ciliary processes (in the ciliary body).
- Distributed to ant and post compartments
42
Q

What attaches the ciliary body to the lens?

A

Zonular fibers

43
Q

What is the cause of Glaucoma?

A

Increasing IOP (intraocular pressure). Aqueous humor drainage is less than its production (produced in ciliary body)

  • Compresses retina, optic n., BV’s
  • Caused be decreased outflow thru canal of schlemm or increased production in aqueous humor
  • Can dmg retina, painful, eventually can cause blindness
  • Sx: blurred vision, halos around bright objects
44
Q

Where is the constrictor pupillae m. located?

A

Pupillary aspect of the eye, circumferentially. (parasymp)

45
Q

Where is the dilator pupillae m. located?

A

Deep to constrictor pupillae, oriented radially. (symp)

46
Q

Where is the vitreous body contained?

A

Postremal chamber
