25
Q

What is the oval-shaped area of acute vision called?

A

the macula- near the optic disk

26
Q

What layer is attached to the choroid and helps absorb the light reducing the scattering of light in the eyeball?

A

the pigmented layer

27
Q

What area is investigated during the fundus examination?

A

ocular fundus- posterior part of eyeball where the light is focused after going through the compartments of the eyeball

28
Q

What chamber is directly posterior to the cornea and anterior to the iris? What is it filled with? What produces the fluid?

A

the anterior chamber is filled with a clear watery solution called aqueous humor produced by the ciliary body

29
Q

What chamber is between the iris and the lens?

A

posterior chamber- also filled with aqueous humor

30
Q

What is posterior to the iris and anterior to the vitreous body?

A

lens- a transparent biconvex structure enclosed in a capsule

31
Q

The lens is attached to the ciliary processed by what?

A

the suspensory ligament

32
Q

Sphincter-like contraction of the _______ relaxes the lens making it more _____ which brings _____ objects into _____.

A

ciliary muscle, convex, near, focus

this process is called accommodation

33
Q

The ______ occupies the posterior 80% of the eyeball and is filled with the gelatinous substance called the _______.

A

vitreous body, vitreous humor

this is irreplaceable unlike the aqueous humor

34
Q

What are the layers (anterior to posterior) of the eyelids?

A
  • thin skin- loose CT
  • skeletal (voluntary) muscle fibers
  • orbital septum is a fibrous membrane
  • superior and inferior tarsi made of dense CT
  • conjunctiva
  • muscles of superior eyelid
35
Q

What is continuous with the periosteum of the bony part of the orbital rim on one end and with the tarsi on the other?

A

orbital septum

36
Q

What do the superior and inferior tarsi represent?

A

the skeleton of the eyelids

37
Q

What are embedded in the tarsi and produce an oily secretion that lubricates the edges of the eyelids and prevents them from sticking together?

A

tarsal glands- modified sebaceous glands whose secretions increase the viscosity of tears and slows down evaporation

38
Q

Paralysis of either superior eyelid muscles results in what? What are these muscles?

A

ptosis- drooping eyelid

  • levator palpebrae superioris
  • superior tarsal muscle
39
Q

What is involved in the production and delivery of lacrimal fluid that lubricates the eyeball?

A

lacrimal apparatus- it also has an antibacterial and nutritive function

40
Q

What carries the lacrimal fluid to the superior fornix of the conjunctiva?

A

excretory ducts

41
Q

Lacrimal fluid accumulates in the medial corner of the eye and is drained via superior and inferior ______ (one in each eyelid) into the ______.

A

Lacrimal canaliculi, lacrimal sac

42
Q

What conveys the lacrimal fluid to the inferior nasal meatus?

A

nasolacrimal duct

43
Q

Production of lacrimal fluid is stimulated by (parasympathetic/sympathetic) innervation through fibers of the ____ nerve (CN ? ) which synapse in the pterygopalatine ganglion to eventually form the ______ nerve (off the _______). Postsynaptic (parasympathetic/sympathetic) fibers from the superior cervical ganglion are vasoconstrictive.

A

parasympathetic, facial, VII, lacrimal, ophthalmic, sympathetic

44
Q

Elevation (pupil)

A

moves up

45
Q

Depression (pupil)

A

moves down

46
Q

Adduction (pupil)

A

moves medially

47
Q

Abduction (pupil)

A

moves laterally

48

49
Q

Extorsion (pupil)

A

external rotation- rotates laterally away from nose

50
Q

All recti muscles originate from what?

A

51
Q

Oblique muscles originate from the orbital walls and attach to the ______ part of the eyeball.

A

posterior

52
Q

Which muscle abducts the eye and is innervated by the abducens nerve?

A

lateral rectus

53
Q

Which muscle adducts the eye?

A

medial rectus

54
Q

Which muscle mainly elevates the eye and slightly adducts? Also when the eye is adducted, it will intort.

A

superior rectus

55
Q

What muscle mainly depresses the eye and slightly adducts? When the eye is adducted, it will also extort.

A

inferior rectus

56
Q

What muscle originates from the sphenoid bone near the apical region of the orbit and then passes along the medial wall of the orbit upon reaching a fibrocartilaginous pulley the trochlea, where it makes a sharp bend and inserts onto the superior and posterior part of the eyeball?

A

superior oblique

57
Q

If the gaze is directly laterally and the eyeball is abducted, this muscle will mainly adduct and intort the eyeball. When the eyeball is adducted and the visual axis is more parallel with the long axis of the distal portion of this muscle, it becomes the depressor of the eyeball.

A

superior oblique

58
Q

What innervates the superior oblique?

A

trochlear nerve (CN IV)

59
Q

What is the only extraocular muscle that originates from the anterior part of the orbit (near the lacrimal fossa) and inserts onto the posterior and inferior part of the eyeball?

A

inferior oblique

60
Q

If the gaze is directed laterally and the eyeball is abducted this muscle mainly adducts and extorts the eyeball. When the eyeball is adducted and the visual axis is more parallel with the long axis of the distal portion of this muscle it elevates the eyeball.

A

inferior oblique

61
Q

What muscles are innervated by the oculomotor nerve (CN III)?

A

inferior oblique, inferior rectus, superior rectus, medial rectus
