Q

What are the muscle pulleys around the extraocular muscles?

Q

What is the function of the muscle pulleys around the extraocular muscles?

A
  1. Suspends muscle from adjacent orbital wall
  2. redirects muscle - acts as functional origin of muscle - only muscle fibres in front of muscle pulleys get displaced during movement.
  3. prevents displacement of muscle during movement

Q

What is the blood supply to the EOMs?

A

Anterior ciliary arteries from the lateral and medial muscular arteries of ophthalmic artery
- 2 for each rectus except LR (1 ACA).

21
Q

What muscles does the medial muscular artery supply?

What muscles does the lateral muscular artery supply?

A
  1. medial: MR, IR, IO
  2. lateral: LR, SR, SO, LPS
22
Q

Where is the origin of the superior oblique?

A

Periosteum of lesser wing of sphenoid bone (medial and superior to optic foramen)

23
Q

Which EOM is the longest?
Which EOM is the thinest?

A

Superior oblique.

24
Q

What is the course of the superior oblique?

A

Starts from sphenoid bone and travels in parallel to medial rectus and engages with the trochlea and travels posteriorly and laterally and then inserts into the posterior aspect of the eye, below the SR muscle behind the equator.

25
Q

When does the SO muscle become tendinous in relation to the trochlea?

A

10mm before the trochlea

26
Q

What is the angle of the trochlea / SO ie how much angle the direction of muscle changes at the trochlea ?

A

54 degrees

27
Q

What is the functional origin of the SO?

A

The trochlea

28
Q

What is the angle bewteen the insertion of SO and visual axis?

A

51 degrees.

29
Q

What movement are the anterior fibres of the insertion fibres of SO associated with?

A

Intorsion

30
Q

What movement are the posterior fibres of the insertion fibres of SO associated with?

A

Depression

31
Q

How far are the anterior and posterior end of the SO fibres from the limbus?

How far are the anterior and posterior end of the SO fibres from the SR?

A

LIMBUS
anterior end: 12-14mm
posterior end: 17-19mm

SR
anterior end: 3mm
posterior end: 13mm

32
Q

What is the primary action of the SO?
What are the secondary actions of SO?

A
  1. INTORSION
  2. DEPRESSION AND ABDUCTION

SO –> IAD

33
Q

What common action do Obliques cause? medial or lateral movement?

What common action do Recti cause? medial or lateral movement?

A

obliques act LATERALLY - abduction
rectus act MEDIALLY - adduction

34
Q

What common action do superior muscles cause?

What common action do inferior muscles cause?

A

superior: intorsion
inferior: extorsion

35
Q

What is the longest EOM?
What is the shortest EOM?

A

longest - SO
shortest - IO

36
Q

Where is the origin of the inferior oblique muscle?

A

From anterior orbit (only muscle) at orbital surface/orbital floor of maxilla lateral to lacrimal groove.

37
Q

What is the course of the inferior oblique? Where does it insert?

A

Travels upwards posteriorlyand laterally and passes inferorly to the inferior rectus and inserts behind the lateral muscle (10mm) behind posterior to the equator.

38
Q

Which muscles act in front of the equator? Which muscles act behind the equator?

A

behind - obliques - pulls posterior part of the eye to its direction so anterior part of eye go opposite direction.
in front - rectii.

39
Q

What are the actions of the inferior oblique muscle?

A
  1. extortion
  2. elevation
  3. abduction

IO - EAE

40
Q

What is the main differences between EOM and other skeletal muscles?
(5)

A
  1. higher ratio of nerve axons to muscle fibres (1:3 vs 1:50) which facilitates precise control.

2.Thinner epimysium (muscle sheath)

  1. Thicker/larger perimysium (connective tissue)
  2. Highly vascularised and poorly fasciculated
  3. Round oval fibres which are larger centrally and smaller in periphery
41
Q

What features are normally associated with myopathy but are normal in EOMs?

A
  1. Mononuclear cell infiltrate
  2. Central nuclei
  3. Disorganised sarcolemma
  4. Disorganised/disrupted z-lines
  5. Mitochondrial clumping
42
Q

What are the two types of single motor endplates in EOMs?

A
  1. Fibrillinstruktur - Type A - thick fast for saccadic movements
  2. Felderstruktur - Type B - slow/tonic eye movements
43
Q

Which rectii muscle has a second head and where does it arise from?

A

Lateral rectus - greater wing of sphenoid lateral to annulus of zinn.

44
Q

Which EOM is the only one to have a fusiform (spindle shape)

A

superior oblique

45
Q

Which EOM has no tendon?

A

inferior oblique

46
Q

Which nerves pass near the lateral rectus? (2)

A
  1. abducent nerve (CN6) - passes medial aspect of LR
  2. Lacrimal nerve - passes above LR
47
Q

Where does the ophthalmic artery travel in relation to the medial rectus?

Where does nasociliary nerve travel in relation to medial rectus

A

Both Travel above the MR.

48
Q

Does the inferior division of CN3 travel above or below the inferior rectus?

A

above the IR.
