What are the 3 Lamella of the Eyelid
Anterior, Middle, Posterior
What are the components of the anterior lamella?
Skin, Orbicularis Oculi
What are the component portions of the orbicularis oculi
PreTarsal, PreSeptal, and Orbital Portions
Which components of the orbicularis oculi are involved in voluntary lid closure?
Orbital Portion
Which components of the orbicularis oculi are involved in involuntary lid closure?
PreTarsal and PreSeptal Portions
What is the dual innervation of the orbicularis oculi
Temporal and Zygomatic Branches of the Facial Nerve
What are the components of the middle lamella?
The PreSeptal Fat, The Orbital Septum, and the Orbital or Post-Septal Fat.
How does the preseptal fat differ between the upper and lower eyelid?
The Upper eyelid has the Retro-Orbicularis Oculi Fat - the ROOF; The Lower Eyelid has the Suborbicularis Oculi Fat or SOOF
