19
Q

Testing extraocular muscles: superior + inferior rectus

A

Track lat. = brings axis of m. into alignment with eyeball
The up/down
Sup. = up + inf. = down
Extreme abduction - only sup./inf. rectus can elevate/depress

20
Q

Testing extraocular muscles: lateral + medial rectus

A

Track lat. or med.

21
Q

Testing extraocular muscles: superior + inferior oblique

A

Track med. = bring axis of muscle into alignment with eyeball
Sup. = down + inf. = up
Extreme adduction = only obliques can elevate/depress

22
Q

Paralysis to trochlear nerve

A

Sup. oblique = paralysed
Can’t look down + in
Double vision + head tilt away from side of lesion

23
Q

Paralysis to abducent nerve

A

Lat. rectus = paralysed
Cannot abduct past midline
Strabismus = squint

24
Q

Paralysis to oculomotor nerve

A

Dense ptosis = drooping eyelid - paralysis of LPS

Only LR + SO = unaffected - eye rests down + out

25
Q

Pupillary light reflex: afferent limb

A

Fibres run in optic n.

Retina, optic n. + pretectal nucleus

26
Q

Pupillary light reflex: efferent limb

A

2 = ipsilateral - controls direct + contralateral - controls consensual
Fibres run in oculomotor n.
Motor output = pretectal nucleus to cilialry spinchter muscle of iris

27
Q

Pupillary light reflex: describe

A

Shine light
Retinal ganglion cells generate impulse + optic n. picks up
EWN = axons of optic n. synapse
Fibres of EWN leave in oculomotor n. + synapse in ciliary ganglion
Postganglionic cells leave + innervate sphincter muscles

28
Q

Pupillary light reflex: direct vs consensual

A
Direct = light in 1, constriction in 1
Consensual = light in 1, constriction in both
29
Q

Corneal reflex: afferent limb

A

Fibres of nasociliary n. of ophthalmic division of trigeminal n.

30
Q

Corneal reflex: efferent limb

A

Fibres of br. of facial n.

31
Q

Corneal reflex: describe

A

Afferent impulses from cornea/conjunctiva travel through ophthalmic division of trigeminal
In sensory nucleus of trigeminal - synapse with interneurons
Synapse with motor neurons of facial n.
Br. of facial supply orbicularis oculi
Eyelids close

32
Q

Orbicularis oculi: parts, action + innervation

A

Orbital part
Palpebral part = anchored by med. + lat. ligaments

Lacrimal sac = ant. lacrimal part
Contraction of oculi dilates sac + draws fluid in

41
Q

Lacrimal apparatus: secretomotor/parasympathetic innervation

A

Pregang. parasymp. neurons leave CNS via greater petrosal n. = br. of facial n.
Join deep petrosal n. - form nerve of pterygoid canal
Pterygopalatine ganglion - synapse with postganglionic parasymp. fibres
Join maxillary, travel with until zygomatic, zygomaticotemporal then eventually join lacrimal Lacrimal n. = ophthalmic division + innervates gland

42
Q

Lacrimal apparatus: sympathetic innervation

A

Postgang. symp. fibres originate in sup. cervical ganglion + travel along int. carotid plexus
Leave plexus as deep petrosal n. + join greater petrosal n. - form nerve of pterygoid canal
Pterygopalatine ganglion - do not synapse
Join maxillary, travel with until zygomatic, zygomaticotemporal then eventually join lacrimal Lacrimal n. = ophthalmic division + innervates gland
