quiz 7: eye Flashcards
what is it derived from
ectoderm
what makes up the neuroectoderm of the forebrain
retina and pigmented structures
what makes up the surface ectoderm
lens and cornea
what makes up the neural crest mesenchyme
sclera
how many tunics is it made of
3
which tunic is outermost
fibrous
what is the fibrous tunic made of
sclera and cornea
how is the sclera described
thick, dense, firm, opaque
what is the function of sclera
maintains shape if pressure inside eye increases
what passes through the sclera
blood vessels and neurons
the sclera transitions to the cornea at the
limbus
the sclera is continuous with what CN
II
what is the primary refractory part of the eyeball
cornea
what are the layers of the cornea
corneal epithelium, anterior limiting lamina, substantial própria, posterior limiting lamina, endothelium
what cornel layer is continuous with the conjunctiva
corneal epithelium
what corneal layer is the largest part
substantia propria
what corneal layer covers the inside surface of the cornea and lines the iridocorneal layer
endothelium
what is the vascular tunic made of
choroid, ciliary body and iris
where is the choroid firmly attached
where the optic nerve penetrates the sclera
what is the function of the choroid
it’s dark so it limits the passage of light
what is continuous with the choroid to the posterior and the iris to the anterior
ciliary body
what are the functions of the ciliary body
suspends the lens, produces aqueous fluid, produces GAGs
what does the ciliary body contain
ciliary muscle
what divides the anterior segment into an anterior and posterior chamber
iris
what muscles does the iris contain
sphincter and dilator pupillae
which iris muscle is arranged circumferentially
sphincter pupillae
which iris muscle is innervated by parasympathetic fibers
sphincter pupillae
which iris muscle is arranged radially
dilator pupillae
