- Comprised of all or part of _____ bones
- Lined with _____ (orbital periosteum) which forms a funnel shaped fascial sheath that encloses the orbital contents.
A. pyramidal
- parallel; at right angles
- seven
- periorbita
Boundaries of the Orbital margin
a. Frontal bone
b. Maxilla
c. Zygomatic bone
Boundaries of the Superior wall or roof
a. Frontal bone (orbital plate)
b. Lesser wing of the sphenoid bone (posterior part)
Boundaries of the Medial wall
a. Ethmoid - lamina papyracea
b. Frontal bone
c. Lacrimal bone
d. Sphenoid bone
Boundaries of the Inferior wall
(Separated from lateral wall by the inferior orbital fissure)
a. Maxilla - orbital surface
b. Zygomatic bone
c. Palatine bone – (orbital process)
Boundaries of the Lateral wall
a. Zygomatic bone - frontal process
b. Sphenoid bone - greater wing
- Orbital margin—fractures at _____.
- Blowout fractures: ____ and ____ walls are thin and may fracture while the margin remains intact
- _____ wall is stronger but still thin and can be penetrated by sharp objects. Problematic because it is directly related to the frontal lobe.
- sutures
