Quiz 8 (Eye + Ear) Flashcards
Pathway of lacrimal fluid
lacrimal gland excretory ducts medially across eye lacrimal puncta lacrimal canals lacrimal sack nasolacrimal duct nasal cavity
Lacrimal gland is normally innervated by
facial nerve during normal levels of production
lacrimal gland is innervated by this nerve when crying
opthalmic branch (CN 5)
Another name for palpebrae
eyelids
palpebrae
keep the eye lubricated
protect the surface of the eye
deep to the subcutaneous layer of eyelids, board sheets of connective tissue
tarsal plates
Type of tissue composing the conjunctiva
nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Covers inner surface of eyelids
palpebral conjunctiva
covers outer surface of the anterior surface of the eye
ocular/bulbar conjuctiva
muscle around the eye (circular muscle)
orbicularis oculi
innervation of the orbicularis oculi
facial nerve
focuses the visual image on the retinal photoreceptors
lens
this covers the lens
dense, fibrous capsule covers the entire lens
Lacrimal apparatus consists of the following
lacrimal gland lacrimal puncta lacrimal canals (canaliculi) lacrimal sac nasolacrimal duct
pocket created where the conjunctiva of the eyelid connects with the eye is known as
Fornix
The lacrimal gland resides here
a depression in the frontal bone within the orbit and superior and lateral to the eyeball
superior and inferior, drain the lacrimal lake, empty into lacrimal canaliculi
lacrimal puncta
run along groves in the lacrimal bone, lead to lacrimal sac
lacrimal canals (canaliculi)
fills the lacrimal groove of the lacrimal bone
lacrimal sac
extends along the nasolacrimal canal, formed by the lacrimal bone and the maxilla
nasolacrimal duct
orbicularis oculi: A and N
closes eyelids and draws eyebrows inferiorly
facial
levator palpebrae superioris: A and N
Blinking muscles, elevates eyelid
oculomotor nerve
Superior rectus: A and N
Moves the eye superiorly. slight medial movement
oculomotor nerve
inferior rectus: A and N
Moves the eye inferiorly. slight medial movement
oculomotor nerve
Medial rectus: A and N
moves the eye medially
oculomotor nerve
lateral rectus: A and N
moves the eye laterally
abducens
inferior oblique: A and N
slight lateral movement of the eye
oculomotor nerve
superior oblique: A and N
slight lateral movement of the eye
trochlear nerve
How to ID the position of the eye
inferior oblique is connected directly to the lateral side of the eye and wraps around the bottom of the eye medially
superior oblique is connected to the eye via a tendon and wraps around the top of the eye medially
trochlea
fibrocartilage, allows superior oblique muscle to act as a pulley
Pathway of aqueous humor
starts in the ciliary processes posterior chamber of the anterior cavity through pupil anterior chamber of the anterior cavity canal of Schlemm drains into blood stream
Accommodation: Lens, close
Thick

thin/flat
Accommodation: ciliary muscle, close
contracted
Accommodation: ciliary muscle, far
relaxed
Accommodation: suspensory ligaments, close
not tense/loose
Accommodation: suspensory ligaments, far
tense
Fibrous tunic is made of
cornea
sclera
anterior aspect of eye, transparent, allows light into eye
cornea
refracts light as it enters the eye
cornea
Whites of eye, muscular attachment to eye, fierous connective tissue, gives eye form
sclera
vascular tunic AKA
Uvea
main parts of the vascular tunic
choroid (coat) iris pupil ciliary body suspensory ligaments
pigmented layer of the eye, melanocytes produce melanin
choroid (coat)
colored part of the eye, muscular
iris
muscles of tye iris
pupillary dilators
pupillary constrictors
radial muscles of the eye
pupillary dilators
circular muscles of the eye
pupillary constrictors
pupillary dilators do this
open pupil and allow more light into eye
