Q

Where in the anterior chamber angle does aqueous fluid drain out?

A

trabecular meshwork through the canal of Schlemm

17
Q

What is the Uvea? 3 things

A
  1. Ciliary body (makes aqueous humour)
  2. chroid
  3. iris
18
Q

3 things ciliary body does: which cells do what?

A
  1. make aqueous humour (epithelium)
  2. tethers lens (ciliary processes)
  3. accommodation (ciliary muscle)
19
Q

How is intraocular pressure created?

A

via ciliary body making aquenous humour

20
Q

What are zonules?

A

ligaments that attach ciliary processes to the lens.

21
Q

what does the ciliary muscle do? describe it’s neural connections

A

focuses by changing lens shape
parasympathetic
smooth muscle

22
Q

where do you find the ciliary muscle?

A

within ciliary body

23
Q

what is presbyopia?

A

loss of lens accommodation/flexibility with age

24
Q

2 muscles what control pupil: how innervated?

A
  1. sphincter pupilae, ParaS, CNIII

2. dilator pupilae, Symp

25
Q

What is the choroid?

A

3 layers of blood vessels under the retina that keeps it alive

26
Q

what is the most important layer of choroid?

A

choriocapillaris just underneath retina

27
Q

What is the fovea?

A

highest area of concentrated cones, no rods, HIGH visual acuity

28
Q

what is the macula?

A

area around fovea with decreased vasculature, mostly from choroid

29
Q

what is the orra serrata?

A

junction between retina and ciliary body

30
Q

what is the lamina cribosa?

A

a structure continuous with the sclera that runs perpendicular and through the optic nerve, contains sieve-holes that transmit nerve fibres

31
Q

where are the retinal artery and vein located?

A

in or along the optic nerve

32
Q

curtain come down over someone’s vision is most likely?

A

arterial ischemia/occlusion of central retinal artery

33
Q

what are the vessels you see in the fundoscope?

A

central retinal artery

34
Q

3 ciliary arteries are?

A

long posterior
short posterior
anterior ciliary

35
Q

What are the 2 arteries what supply the retina?

A
  1. Central retinal artery: inner

2. posterior ciliary: outer

36
Q

2 Muscles of the orbits and their innervation?

A
  1. orbicularis oculi (CNVII)
  2. levator palpebrae superiosis (CNIII)
    They work in opposition
