describe the mechanism of hearing
Actions: superior rectus
elevation, adduction and medial rotation of th eye
Actions: lateral rectus
abduction of the eye
Actions: inferior rectus
depression, adduction and lateral rotation of the eye
Actions: medial rectus
adduction
Actions: superior oblique
medial rotation, depression and abduction
Actions: inferior oblique
lateral rotation, elevation and abduction
which extrinsic eye muscles are mediated by the CN occulomotor III
superior rectus
inferior rectus
medial rectus
inferior oblique
which extrinsic eye muscle is mediated by CN abducens VI
lateral rectus
which extrinsic eye muscle is mediated by CN trochlear IV
superior oblique
which skull foramen do the extrinsic eye muscle nerves emerge from
superior orbital fissure
what does the conjunctiva attach to
cornea and bottom lid
what does the lacrimal gland hold
saline solution
what does the superior palpabrae do
move the upper eyelid
what is conjunctiva and what is its purpose
a mucous membrane lining the anterior surface of eyeball and inner lining of eyelids
it purpose: lubricant
the section where the sclera becomes transparent is
the cornea
what is the white of the eye
sclera
which tunic holds photoreceptors
retina
describe the fovea centralis
tiny pit, tons of cones, area of finest vision
describe the macula latea
lateral to optic disc, high concentration of cones
what are cones good for compared to rods
cones–> color/daylight
rods–> black and white/nighttime
what does the vascular tunic (pigmented, vascular layer) contain
choroid
iris
ciliary body
what does choroid pigment do
absorb excess light, vessels supply other tissues
what does the iris do
controls amount of incoming light
ciliary body
attaches and focuses lens
what happens whe ciliary muscles are relaxed
suspensory ligament pulled tight–> flattens the lens
what happens when ciliary muscles contract
tension released from suspensory ligament- lens becomes more convex
what is strabisumus
orientation of two eyes does not match one another
what is nystagmus
neurological sign characterized by rapid uncontrolled eye movemement
what is glaucoma
aqueous humors are not drained quickly or at all, pressure on retina and optic nerve
what is cataracts
clouding of the lens
