Organ of Vision (Eyeball & Adnexa): CNs II, III, IV, VI Flashcards
The organ of vision primarily consists of:
eyeball (bulbs oculi)
adnexa
What is the adnexa comprised of?
eyelids (& tunica conjunctiva)
ocular muscles
lacrimal apparatus
orbital fasciae
In the cat, the bony processes [lateral/medial] to the orbit are, very close or fused
lateral
In dogs, the bony processes [lateral/medial] to the orbit are separated and joined together by the ____. Open orbits help to communicate [cranially/caudally] with the ______ fossa.
lateral
orbital ligament
caudally
temporal fossa
In binocular vision, the field of vision is [larger/smaller] than in monocular vision.
larger
because there is more decussation
What is the optic axis of the bulbus oculi?
the straight line passing through both poles
What is the equator of the bulbus oculi?
a line equidistant from both poles
What are the 3 tunics of the eye?
external fibrous tunic
middle vascular tunic
internal nervous tunic
What tunic is the translation of visual stimuli into nerve impulses?
internal nervous tunic
What is the comprised of the external fibrous tunic?
cornea (transparent)
sclera (white)
The _____ is in between the cornea and sclera
limbus
What is in the middle vascular tunic?
iris
ciliary body
choroid (which provides blood to posterior portion of eyeball & pigment)
Label 1-3
- iris
- ciliary body
- choroid
The middle vascular tunic is also known as the ______
uvea
The function of the iris is to _____
adjust the size of the pupil
The ______ divides the space between the lens and cornea into anterior and posterior chambers that communicate through the pupil. Both are filled with ________
iris
aqueous humor
Label 1-2
- anterior chamber
- posterior chamber
The iris contains two layers of ________, which is a ______ of the pupil and a ______ of the pupil
smooth muscle
sphincter
dilator
Miosis is GVE [sympathetic/parasympathetic] and involves the [sphincter/dilator] of the pupil, and mydriasis is GVE [sympathetic/parasympathetic] and involves the [sphincter/dilator] of the pupil.
miosis: GVE parasympathetic, sphincter of pupil
mydriasis: GVE sympathetic, dilator of pupil
_______ do the accommodation - the ability of the eye to focus on near or distant objects by changing the shape of the ______
smooth ciliary muscle
lens
What does the ciliary body do?
suspend the lens, regulate its curvature
What is the ciliary body?
a raised ring with ridges converging toward the lens in the center
