The Eye Flashcards
Optic Sulci
Out-pocketing of the diencephalon towards the surface ectoderm.
Germ layer of the Mesoderm form
Muscles of the eye
Ectoderm forms
The eyeball
Tarsal plate
Maintains the structure of the eyelid
Orbicularis Oculi
Closes the upper eyelid
Levator palpebrae superioris
Opens the upper eyelid
Eyelashes
A part of the palpebrae
Aqueous Chamber
2 sections in front of the lens: anterior aqueous humor and posterior aqueous humor
Humor that lies behind the lens
Vitreous humor
Goblet cell location and function
They are located in the conjunctiva and secrete tears
Avascular
Nutrients from aqueous, O2 from air
Limbus
Junction of the cornea with the sclera
Where is humor produced
The posterior chamber of the cornea
Rhodopsin
Opsin and Retinene
Canaliculus
Duct system by which tears flow
Dorsolateral adnexa
Lacrimal Gland
Ventrolateral carnivore adnexa
Zygomatic salivary gland
Lacrimal sac and drainage
Where the canaliculus converge and drain into the nasal cavity
Bulbar Conjunctiva
Covers the outer surface of the eye
Palpebral Conjunctiva
Covers the inner surface of the upper and lower eyelid. Continuous with the bulbar conjunctiva
Edinger Westphal
Controls pupillary light via parasympathetic fibers
Miosis
Reduction of pupil size
Ptosis
Drooping of eyelid
Enophthalmia
Sunken eye
IOP Reduced
Intraocular pressure is decreased
Signs of Horner’s Syndrome
Miosis, ptosis, 3rd eyelid protruding, enophthalmia, conjunctival vascular engorgement, IOP reduced, horses will sweat on the same side
Strabismus
Abnormal eye position caused by malfunction of nerves controlling muscles in the eye
CN VI strabismus
Abducens is damaged and pupils move medially
CN IV strabismus
Controls the rotation of the eye and when damaged, the ventral Obelix will rotate the eye more medially from the ventral side \ /
CN III strabismus
Damage will pull the pupils to the ventrolateral position
The outer layer of the double optic cup
Thin and expresses melanin granules, becomes the retina
The inner layer of double-walled optic cup
Thick and develops into the sensory layer of the retina, the optic nerve
What are the 3 parts of the eye
Transparent media, the wall, the extraocular structures
Transparent media
Conjunctiva, cornea, aqueous humor, lens, vitreous humor
Where does filtration of the humor occur
Episcleral vessels in the canal of schlemm which sits within the iridocorneal angle
Conjunctiva cell type
Stratified squamous epithelium
Lens cell type
Cuboidal epithelium
Components of the wall
Retina, Uveal Tract, and Sclera
The reflective portion of the eye that concentrates light in the dark
Tapetum Lucidum of the choroid
Parts of the choroid
Tapetum Lucidum in the back, Vascular, black/connective Retina
For light dependant breeders, where is hormonal rhythm controlled?
Hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus
Nictitating Membrane
Blinking the 3rd eyelid
Mydriasis
Increase size of pupil. Dilation
