Orbital Flashcards
What passes thru the inferior orbital fissure?
Maxillary nerve and infraorbital vessels
Innervates superior oblique muscle
Trochlear nerve CN4
Lacrimal artery
Off lateral side of optic nerve, supplies lacrimal gland
What is between the greater wing and the maxilla?
Inferior orbital fissure
Depresses the eye, extorts when eye is adducted
Inferior rectus. CN3
Abucts/extorts the eyeball
Inferior oblique
“white of the eye”
sclera
How lens bring near objects into focus
Relaxing of the ciliary muscles to make the lens more convex (accommodation)
Only extraocular muscle that originates from anterior part of orbit
Inferior oblique
Produces oily secretion that lubricates the edges of the eyelids to prevent them from sticking together
Tarsal glands
Innervates medial/inferior rectus, inferior oblique muscles
Inferior branch of oculomotor nerve
Parts of the Fibrous layer of the eyeball
Sclera and cornea
Anastomose with anterior ciliary arteris
Long posterior ciliary arteries
Path of opthalmic artery
enters via optic canal, inferiolateral to nerve, crosses superior/mediad once in orbit.
Symp innervation of lacrimal gland
From superior cervical gang, vasoconstrictive
Mucous membrane that lines the eyelids/anterior aspects of the eyeballs/lacrimal apparatus
Conjunctiva
What is between the greater and lesser wings of the spehnoid?
Superior orbital fissure
Carries lacrimal fliud to superior fornix of conjunctiva
Excretory ducts
Where does the superior opthalmic vein drain into?
Cavernous sinus
Blood supplies for most of orbit
Ophthalmic artery via ICA
Fibrous membrane of eyelid
Orbital septum. Continuous with periosteum of bony part of the orbital rim and the tarsi
“Pulley” of superior oblique
Trochlea
What passes thru the optic canal?
Optic nerve and opthalimic artery
Superior oblique action if eye is lateral gaze and abducted eyeball
Abducting/intorting
3 layers of the eyeball
Fibrous layer, vascular layer, retinal layer
Parasympathetic muscle of the iris that decreases the diameter of the pupil
Sphincter pupillae
Communication between orbit and ethmoid for the nerves/vessels
Ethmoidal foramina
What protects the corneas/eyeballs
eyelids, lacrimal apparatus
Adducts the eye
Medial rectus. CN3
What passes thru the superior orbital fissure?
CN 3,4,6, V1, opthalmic veins
Attaches lens to ciliary processes
Suspensory ligaments
Moves superior eyelid and eyeball (group of muscles)
Extrinsic muscles of eye
Thin contractile diaphragm with centure aperature
Iris
Parts of the vascular layer
Choroid, ciliary body, iris
Infraorbital artery
Into orbit via infraorbital foramen. Branch of ICA
Weakest wall of orbit
medial wall
