Orbit and eye Flashcards
What are the 3 formaina at the apex of the orbit?
The optic foramen, superior orbital fissure and inferior orbital fissure
What passes through the optic formane?
Optic nerve
Opthalmic nerve
What passes throguh the superior orbital fissure?
- Cranial Nerve VI (Abducens)*
- Cranial Nerve IV (Trochlear)*
- Cranial Nerve III (Oculomotor)*
- Ophthalmic* division of Cranial Nerve V (V1)
- Ophthalmic veins*
What passes through the inferior orbital fissure?
Inferior Ophthalmic division of Cranial Nerve V (V1)
What is the type of view that is shown?
Occipitomental veiw
What paranasal air sinuses can you see in this radiograph.
- Frontal*
- Maxillary*
- Ethmoid*
This makes the floor of the orbit weak.
Infraorbotal groove
What are the main contents of the orbit?
- Eye*
- Extrinsic ocular muscles*
- Ligaments supporting the eye*
- Optic, Oculomotor, Trochlear & Abducens* nerves
- Branches of Ophthalmic artery*
- The lacrimal (tear) apparatus*
- Orbital fat*
What are the components of the outer fibrous layer of the eye?
Cornea and sclera
It is a complete layer
What are the components of the middle vascular layer?
Ciliary body
Iris
Choroid
Is incomplete anteriorly. Anterior aperture (in iris) is called pupil
What are the components of the inner sensroy layer?
Retina
Is present posteriorly but anteriorly it stops short just in front of equator of the eye
What does the crystalline lens divide into?
The eye into an anterior and a posterior segment.
The watery fluid in the anterior segment
Aqueous humour
The gel in the posterior segment?
Vitreous humour
What part of the eye produces (secretes) aqueous humour?
Ciliary body
What are the intrinsic muscles of the eye?
Ciliaris
Sphincter pupillae
Dilator pupillae
