Orbit & Eye Flashcards
What is in the bony orbit?
Zygomatic, ethmoid, maxillary, frontal, lacrimal, palatine
What is a “blowout” fracture?
result in bleeding into maxillary sinus; may entrap inferior rectus (restricted upward gaze) or inferior oblique muscle and/or lacerate the infraorbital n. (sensory loss on lower eyelid & maxilla)
What is a medial orbital fracture? What does in impact?
impact the ethmoid»_space; sphenoid sinus; can entrap
medial rectus (restricted lateral gaze)
What are the structures of the eyelids?
Skin, loose CT, muscular layer, tarofascial layer, conjunctiva
What lubricates the eye?
Lacrimal gland along with accessory lacrimal glands
The lacrimal gland’s innervation is…
GSA, GVE parasympathetics via CN VII, and GVE sympathetics via T1-T4
Where is the collecting apparatus situated?
Medial canthus
What does sympathetics control in the eye?
Blood
What does parasympathetics control in the eye?
Secretion
Injury to parasympathetics -> dry eye
The suspensory ligament of Lockwood…
Holds eyeball inside eye
What are the internal structure of the eye?
- Fibrous layer
- Vascular layer
- Nervous layer
What is the fibrous layer continuous with?
Dura
What does the fibrous layer make up?
Sclera
What is the sclera?
Covers 5/6 of the eye, opaque, lamina cribrosa, major attachment of eye muscles
What is continuous with the sclera?
Cornea, transparent
What does the vascular layer make up?
Choroid
What is the choroid continuous with?
Arachnoid + pia
What is the choroid?
Covers about 5/6 of the eye, has the optic nerve within
If we block scleral venous sinus, what can occur?
Glaucoma
Where is the ciliary body?
Vascular layer
What is the ciliary body?
- from ora serrata to scleral spur
- ciliary process and zonular fibers
- secretes aqueous humor
- ciliary muscle
- scleral venous sinus
- anterior and posterior chambers
How is the lens anchored?
Zonular fibers
