Orbit and Eye Flashcards
Bones of Orbit
- Frontal
- Zygyomatic
- Maxillary
- Lacrimal
- Ethmoid
- Palatine
- Sphenoid
Structures passing through Optic Canal
- CN II
- Opthalmic artery
Structures through Superior Orbital Fissure
- CN III
- CN IV
- CN V1
- CN VI
Structures through Inferior orbita fissure & infraorbital groove
- Infraorbital nerve
- Infraorbital vessels
Strucutres through Anterior & Posterior Ethmoidal Foramina
- Ant/Post ethmoidal nerves
- Ant./Post Ethmoidal vessels
Components of Eyelid
- Skin
- Subcutaneous tissue
- Levator Palpebrae Superioris
- Orbital Septum
- Tarsus
- contain Meibomian (tarsal) glands
- superior/inferior tarsus muscle
- Conjunctiva
- Thin membrane covering inner eyelid
Branches of V1
- Frontal
- Supratrochlear
- Supraorbital
- Lacrimal
Terminal ganglion of V1 and location
Gasserian/Semi-lunar ganglion in Meckel’s Cave
Pathway of tears from lacrimal gland
Lacrimal glands–>surface of cornea–>lacrimal canaliculi –> lacrimal sac–> nasolacrimal duct
Innervation of Lacrimal Gland
-
_General Sensory _
- Lacrimal Nerve (Branch of V1)
-
Parasympathetic
- Greater Petrosal Nerve (branch of VII) via **V1 **
-
_Sympathetic _
- **Deep Petrosal Nerve **(branch of Carotid Plexus) via V1
Path of parasympathetic innervation of Lacrimal Gland
VII –> Greater Petrosal Nerve –> Pterygoid canal –> Pterygopalatine ganglion –> Zygomaticotemporal nerve of V2 –> Lacrimal nerve of V1 —> Lacrimal Gland
Path of Sympathetic Innervation of Lacrimal Gland
Carotid Plexus –> Deep Petrosal nerve –> pterygoid canal –> pterygoid ganglion –> Zygomaticotemporal nerve of V2 –> Lacrimal Nerve of V1 –> Lacrimal Nerve of V1
Branches of V1 Nerve
- Frontal
- Supratrochlear
- Lacrimal
- Supraorbital
- Nasociliary Nerve
Branches of Nasociliary Nerve
- Long ciliary
- Short Ciliary
- Anterior ethmoidal
- Posterior ethmoidal
- Infra-trochlear
Optic Nerve (II)
- Origin: Lateral Geniculate Body
- Course: Left and Right Optic Tracts cross and travel through optic canal
- Components: Special Sensory
- Ganglion:“Ganglion cells” of Retina (cell bodies here)`a
- Function: Vision
