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
