Test 1 Flashcards
Kraskin-Harmon statement
The functional origins of the extra ocular muscles are in the neck and back.
What is vision?
Meaning and direction of action
Why do we have 3-4 gaze redirections per second?
The image on the retina fades without movement of the eye.
Integration of action and recognition
Action: moving the eyes
Recognition: knowing what you’re looking at
Signs of optic neuritis:
Inflammation of CN2
- pain during EOMs
- may be (+)APD if retrobulbar
SR origin
Superior annulus of Zinn
SR insertion
Obliquely on superior sclera
SR movements
Coordinated movements with levator because of shared muscle sheath
23* angle with Fick’s axis to allow for more movement than straight up
IR origin
Inferior annulus of Zinn
IR insertion
Oblique arc onto inferior sclera
IR movement
Suspensory ligament of Lockwood
23* angle with Fick’s Y-axis for more movement than just straight down
LR origin
Upper and lower limb of annulus of Zinn
Process of greater sphenoid bone
LR insertion
Parallel to MR
LR movement
Lateral check ligament for added support
Whitnall’s tubercle for attachment to lateral wall
Rotation about the Z axis
MR origin
Upper and lower Annulus of Zinn
Optic nerve sheath
MR insertion
Vertical line spanning horizontal plane of eye
Closest muscle to limbus
MR movement
Medial check ligament attaches muscle to medial orbital wall
What is the Spiral of Tilleaux?
Spiral around limbus
SO anatomical origin
Lesser sphenoid wing
SO physiological origin
Cartilaginous trochlea, superior medial orbital wall
Muscle ends BEFORE trochlea (muscle tendon passes through though)
SO insertion
Lateral posterior globe
What happens during SO tendon flexion when the eye rotates 36 deg outward and is perpendicular to the deflection tendon?
Intorsion
What happens during SO tendon flexion when the eye moves 54 deg inward, matching the line of sight to the tendon angle?
Depression
Which is the only EOM to originate in the anterior orbit?
The IO
IO origin
Maxillary bone inferior to nasolacrimal fossa
IO insertion
Posterior-lateral globe, inferiorly
Below anterior-posterior horizontal plane
The angle the IO has with the visual axis
51 deg
Where the center of the muscle or tendon first touches the globe
Tangential point
Why is the tangential point not fixed?
It moves.
It changes when the muscle contracts or relaxes, and the eye moves.
