Orbit and nasal cavity Flashcards
Superior oblique muscle
Extra- ocular muscle responsible for:
- Depression
- Abduction
Innervated by Trochlear nerve
Superior rectus
Extra- ocular muscle responsible for:
- Elevation
- Abduction
Innervated by CN3
Inferior oblique
Extra- ocular muscle responsible for:
- Elevation
Innervated by CN3
Inferior rectus
Extra- ocular muscle responsible for:
- Depression
- Adduction
Innervated by CN3
Medial rectus
Extra- ocular muscle responsible for:
- Adduction
Innervated by CN3
Lateral rectus
Extra- ocular muscle responsible for:
- Abduction
Innervated by CN6- abducens
Levator palpebrae
Muscle responsible for the elevation and retraction of the eyelid.
Orbits of the eye
Vertical
- Abduction and adduction
Transverse
- Elevation
- Depression
Anteroposterior
- Intorsion and extorsion
The natural orbit always leans outwards
Bones of the nose
Frontal
2x nasal
2x maxilla
Septum
Cartilage of the nose
Lateral
Major and minor alar
Internal projections of the nasal cavity
Superior, middle and inferior conchae
- directs flow of air
- warms the air
Lined with epithelium
Olfaction
‘Smelling’
Mechanism:
- Odiferous gases in the air are dissolved in mucosal fluid secreted by epithelium
- Conchae help to direct air
- Odiferous gases are sensed by receptors connected to CN1.
Nervous supply to the nose
- Olfactory, CN1
- CN V1, ophthalmic
- CN V2, maxillary
Blood supply to nose
Supplied by branches from:
- Ophthalmic
- Maxillary
Frontal paranasal sinus
- Drainage
- Innervation
Located on the frontal bone
- Drains into the frontonasal duct–> middle nasal meatus
Innervation
- Supraorbital nerve [from frontal nerve, CN V1]
