orbit/radiology Flashcards
roof of the orbit
orbital plate of the frontal bone
lateral wall of the orbit
zygomatic bone and greater wing of sphenoid
floor of the orbit
-orbital plate of the maxilla, which separates the orbital cavity from the maxillary sinus
medial wall of the orbit
- frontal process of the maxilla
- lacrimal bone
- orbital plate of the ethmoid, and the body of the sphenoid
where do eyelids meet eachother?
-medial and lateral angles
palpebral fissure
-opening between the eyelids and the entrance into the conjunctival sac
what covers the deep surface of the eyelid?
-mucous membrane called the conjuncitva
tarsal glands
- modified sebaceous glands that open into the margin of the eyelid behind the eyelashes
- secrete oily substance to prevent tear overflow
orbital septum
- fibrous sheet that supports the eyelids
- attached to periosteum at oribital margins
tarsal plates
- thicked orbital margins
- tarsal glands are embedded in them
parts of the lacrimal gland
- large orbital part
- small palpebral part
preganglionic parasympathetic innervation of lacrimal apparatus
- from lacrimal nucleus of facial nerve
- travel greater petrosal nerve and nerve of pterygoid canal to synapse in pterygopalatine ganglion
Postganglionic parasympathetic innvervation of lacrimal apparatus
- leave pterygopalatine ganglion and travel V2(maxillary of trigeminal)
- reach lacrimal gland by lacrimal nerve
sympathetic postganglionic innervation of lacrimal apparatus
- from internal carotid plexus(T1-L2)
- join deep petrosal nerve and nerve to pteryoid canal to travel with preganglionic para
lacus lacimalis
- tears circulate across cornea and accumualte here
- lake of tears
lacrimal duct path
- lacrimal punctum to lacrimal canaliculi
- to lacrimal sac
- to nasolacrimal duct
- to inferior meatus of the nose
what surrounds the optic nerve?
- meninges
- nerve pierces sclera and meninges fuse with the sclera
CSF and optic nerve
- held in subarachnoid space
- pressure within cranial cavity is transmitted to the back of the eye
opthalmic division of trigeminal nerve : branches
- frontal
- lacrimal
- nasociliary nerves
frontal nerve
-divides into supraorbital and supratrochlear to supply skin of forehead
lacrimal nerve
joined by branch of zygomaticotemporal nerve to go to lacrimal gland and lateral, upper eyelid
Oculomotor supplies which EOM?
-all but superior oblique and lateral rectus
Lateral rectus nerve supply
-CN VI(abducens)
