Q

Functions of the Lacrimal Gland

A

Produces secretions (tears) to lubricate eyes

Drains into the lacrimal duct (this is why your nose is runny when you cry)

What part of the eye is responsible for focusing light?

A

Cornea and Lens

19
Q

What part of the eye controls how much light reaches the eye?

It also adjusts the size of the pupil

A

Iris

20
Q

What part of the eye further focuses light via accomodation?

A

Lens

21
Q

What part of the eye converts light to electronic signal?

A

Quickly look at optical nerve pathway

A
23
Q

How many extraocular muscles are there?

What are they?

A

7 in total,

4 rectus muscles

1 Levator papebrae suprioris

1 inferior and 1 superior oblique muslces

24
Q

Which muscle of the eye is responsible for moving it TOWARDS the nose

A

Medial Rectus

25
Q

Which muscle of the eye is responsible for moving it AWAY from the nose?

A

Lateral Rectus

26
Q

Which muslces of the eye move it up and down

A

Superior rectus - up

Inferior rectus - down

27
Q

Which nerve is attached to the Superior Oblique muscle

Which to the Lateral Rectus?

A

CN IV to superior oblique (Trochlear)

CN VI to lateral rectus (Abducens nerve)

(Everything else is CN III, oculomotor)

Defined by extraocular muslces

31
Q

What does the Extraconal compartment hold?

A

A

Internal Acoustic modulus

35
Q

Where does the CN V2 go through?

A

Inferior orbital fissure after accessing through foramen rotundum

36
Q

What does the foramen rotundum innervate with?

A
