Orbits Flashcards
roof of orbit
orbital part of frontal bone
medial wall of orbit
orbital plate of ethmoid, lacrimal, maxilla, and sphenoid
inferior wall of orbit
orbital surface of maxilla
lateral wall of orbit
frontal process of zygomatic bone and greater wing of sphenoid
apex of orbit
optic canal in lesser wing of sphenoid
palpebral conjunctiva
internal surface of eyelid
bulbar conjunctiva
anterior surface of eyeball
conjunctival sac
space bound by the palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae
tarsus
dense bands of CT that form the “skeleton” of eyelids
superior tarsus
upper eyelid; levator palpebrae superioris; superior tarsal muscle; loss of function for either muscle results in ptosis or drooping of the upper eyelid
inferior tarsus
lower eyelid; attached medially to maxilla by medial palpebral ligament; attached laterally to zygomatic by lateral palpebral ligament
tarsal glands
produce lipid secretion to prevent eyelids from sticking together
what keeps the orbit fat contained?
orbital septum
lacrimal apparatus
involved in production, movement, and drainage of fluid from surface of eyeball; includes lacrimal gland, excretory ducts, lacrimal canaliculi, lacrimal sac, and nasolacrimal duct
lacrimal gland
secretes lacrimal fluid; divided into orbital and palpebral parts by tendon of LPS
lacrimal canaliculi
small canals that drain lacrimal fluid from lacrimal lake to lacrimal sac
lacrimal sac
dilated superior part of nasolacrimal duct
nasolacrimal duct
conveys lacrimal fluid to inferior nasal meatus
innervation of lacrimal gland
sensory from lacrimal branch of V1; PNS from facial to greater petrosal nerve to nerve of pterygoid canal to pterygopalatine ganglion which sends fibers to join maxillary nerve to zygomatic nerve to lacrimal nerve to gland; SNS fibers leave internal carotid plexus to form deep petrosal nerve contributing to formation of nerve of pterygoid canal
common tendinous ring
periorbita that thickens around optic canal and central part of SOF: point of origin of rectus muscles
fascial sheath of eyeball
attaches to sclera near optic nerve to edge of cornea blending with investing fascia of muscles
suspensory ligament
lower part of fascial sheath which supports the eyeball
medial check ligament
expansion of investing fascia that covers medial rectus, attaches to lacrimal bone, and restricts movement of medial rectus
lateral check ligament
expansion of investing fascia that covers lateral rectus, attaches to zygomatic bone, and restricts movement of lateral rectus
function of LPS:
elevate superior eyelid
innervation and function of superior tarsal muscles:
sympathetic fibers; help maintain eyelid elevation
eye rotation around vertical axis causes pupil to move:
medially and laterally
eye rotation around transvere axis causes pupil to move:
superiorly and inferiorly
eye rotation around anterior-posterior axis causes pupil to move:
intorsion and extorsion
function of SR
elevation, adduction, and medial rotation
function of MR
adduction
function of IR
depression, adduction, and lateral rotation
function of SO
abduction, depression, and medial rotation
function of IO
abduction, elevation, and lateral rotation
clinical testing of SR
look laterally and upward
clinical testing of IR
look laterally and downward
clinical testing of LR
look laterally
clinical testing of MR
look medially
