Q

What do olfaction receptors do?

A

Epithelium secretes a mucus fluid

Odoriferous gases are dissolved into the fluid & detected by olfactory nerves

21
Q

Where does cranial nerve II exit?

A

Optic canal

22
Q

Why does cranial nerve II have a special embryology?

A

A

CN II, III, IV, V1, VI, VII
Sympathetic
Parasympathetic

38
Q

What does the sympathetic nerve supply to the orbit do?

A

Stimulates dilator pupillae to let more light in

39
Q

What does the parasympathetic nerve supply to the orbit do?

A

Stimulates constrictor pupillae to let less light in

40
Q

What is the blood supply to the orbit?

A

Ophthalmic artery
Infra-orbital artery
Central artery

41
Q

What does the lacrimal apparatus consist of?

A

Lacrimal gland which secretes lacrimal fluid, which passes across eye & into lacrimal papilla, lacrimal sac & to the inferior meatus via the nasolacrimal duct
