Q

How does the lacrimal apparatus work?

A
  • Lacrimal gland secretes lacrimal fluid (tears)
    • via PSNS innervation of CN VII via pterygopalatine ganglion
  • Lacrimal ducts convey tears to conjunctival sac
  • Lacrimal canaliculi convey tears to lacrimal sac
  • Nasolacrimal duct conveys tears to nasal cavity

Q

Why is common tendinous ring important?

A

Serves to out benefit in anesthesia. Can give local anesthetic surrounding eye and the common tendinous ring serves as a “holding point” for anesthetic and prevents it from going further down optic canal
