nasolacrimal groove
Identify “a” and “b”
- “a” Superior tarsal plate
- “b” Inferior tarsal plate

c: orbital septum
Identify arrow
medial and lateral palpebral ligaments
Identify arrows
green: superior tarsal plate
red: orbital septum
Identify the green box and green arrows
- green box: Conjunctival sac
- green arrow: Conjunctival fornices
Identify red and blue arrows
red: bulbar conjunctiva

Where is the lacrimal gland located
superolateral region of the orbit
List where the fluid from the lacrimal gland goes once it is in the eyeball
- lacrimal puncta
- lacrimal canaliculi
- lacrimal sac
- nasolacrimal duct
Parasympathetic innervation to the lacrimal gland is
- initiated at what cranial nerve?
- where does it synapse?
- How does the information from the ganglion get to the lacrimal gland: New pathway
CN VII -> Greater petrosal n. -> N. to pterygoid canal -> Pterygopalatine galgion (SYNAPSE) -> branches to lacrimal gland
Sympathetic innervation to lacrimal gland
follows parasympathetic innervation
