Orbit I Flashcards
7 bones make up the orbit. Name the one not listed

Palatine
Identify “a” and “b”

- a: superior orbital fissure
- b: inferior orbital fissure
Identify “c”

optic canal
Identify green and yellow arrows

Green: Infraorbital foramen
Yellow: Supraorbital foramen
Identify blue arrow

nasolacrimal groove
Identify “a” and “b”

- “a” Superior tarsal plate
- “b” Inferior tarsal plate
Identify c

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
blue: palpebral 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
Former pathway of parasympathetic innervation to lacrimal gland
CN VII -> Greater petrosal n. -> N. to pterygoid canal -> Pterygopalatine plexus (SYNAPSE) -> zygomatic branch of (CN V2) -> communicating branch of ophthalmic nerve (CN V1) -> Lacrimal nerve to gland

identify purple and brown

purple: cornea
Brown: Sclera
Identify blue and red

blue: choroid
red: retina
identify orange

ciliary body
Identify green and yellow

green: Fovea: strongest acuity
yellow: optic disc: blind spot
What muscle is responsible for constricting the pupil? What innervation makes it contract?
Sphincter pupillae
- parasympathetic

What muscle dilates the pupil? What innervation makes muscle contract
Dilator pupillae
- sympathetic innervation

The cililary muscle contract under what innervation? What happens when it contracts?
paraympathetic
- When muscle contracts; it moves toward the lens and the suspensory ligaments of the lens relax, causing the lens to change shape (more spherical) allowing lens to refract light for near vision
- Accommodation: close focus

List Pathway of light
- cornea
- iris -> pupil
- lens
- fovea centralis
- optical axis
