Orbit II Flashcards
primary refractor of light
cornea
secondary refractor of light
lens
3 layers of eye
Sclera
Choroid (w/ blood vessels and nerves)
Retina
What creates aqueous humor?
ciliary processes
Drainage of eye
canal of Schlemm
Blockage of trabecular network
glaucoma. pressure builds can’t drain
2 types of glaucoma
open angle
angle closure
how do you actively dilate the iris?
dilator pupillae (via sympathetic ns)
Ciliary muscle and sphincter pupillae are both
circular and parasymp
Sympathetic muscles (dilator pupillage) in iris are
radially oriented
10-12 feet away (Far away refraction)
cornea
looking at things up close
need to thicken lens up, so that light falls on back on retina
Meridional fibers
counteract circular fibers
Nuclei of lens and age?
decrease with age
The ciliary muscle is innervated by
parasympathetic only (causes lens to THICKEN)
