The Eye Flashcards
What lines the orbit?
Orbital periosteum
What fills the spaces between the eye, nerves, muscles and blood vessels?
Orbital fascia
Coarsley loculated fat
T/F:
In the orbit, the lacrimal bone is closer to the zygomatic bone compared to the sphenoid bone
False
What travels through the superior orbital fissure?
Occulomotor nerve
CN V/1: frontal, lacrimal, nasociliary
Trochlear
Abducens
What crosses the infraorbital groove and foramen?
CN V/2: Maxillary/infraorbital nerve
Optic canal is found in ____ bone
Sphenoid
The trochlea fovea/spine is halfway between the ______ and ______
Halfway between the supraorbital notch/foramen and the frontolacrimal suture
T/F:
The trochlea fovea/spine contains the inferior oblique muscle
False
Superior oblique muscle
What type of muscle are the major extrinsic eye muscles?
Skeletal/striated muscle
Where do the superior/inferior/medial rectus muscles originate?
Tendinous ring around the optic nerve
T/F:
The rectus muscles insert into the sclera about 6mm behind the cornea and posterior to the equator of the eyeball
False
ANTERIOR to the equator the eye ball
(First part is correct)
T/F:
The lateral rectus muscle originates from the tendinous ring
False
Originates from the lateral part of the tendinous ring AND from the lateral margin of the orbital fissure
(Has two heads)
T/F:
The oblique muscles insert posterior to the equator of the eye
True
Superior oblique muscle can be found in between which two extrinsic muscles of the eye?
Superior and middle rectus muscles
What is the name of the tendinous band the superior oblique muscle passes through and where is it attached?
Tendinous band is called the TROCHLEA
This is attached to the trocheal fovea/spine of the frontal bone
The trochleal fovea/spine is a part of which bone?
Frontal bone
Where does the superior oblique muscle insert?
In the sclera In between the superior and lateral rectus muscles
T/F:
The superior oblique originates from the body of the sphenoid posterolateral to the optic canal between the superior and middle recti muscles
False
The superior oblique originates from the body of the sphenoid SUPEROMEDIAL to the optic canal between the superior and middle recti muscles
Where does the inferior oblique arise?
Orbital surface of the maxilla, lateral to the nasolacrimal groove
Explain the course of the inferior oblique before its insertion
Passes inbetween the orbital floor and the inferior rectus
Then passes between the lateral rectus and orbit
T/F:
The inferior oblique inserts into the sclera posterior to the equator and between superior and lateral rectus
False
In between inferior and lateral rectus
T/F:
Levator Palpebrae SUperioris originates from the sphenoid bone inferior to the superior rectus and inserts into the eyelid
False
SUPERIOR to superior rectus
Which nerve is superior to levator palpebrae superioris?
Frontal nerve
T/F:
Levator Palpebrae Superioris elevates the upper eyelid
True
T/F:
Medial and lateral recti move the eye side to side
True
T/F:
Superior oblique moves the eye up and out
False
Moves the eye down and out
(inferior oblique moves the eye up and out)
What is the action of superior and inferior recti muscles?
Elevate and depress the eye
The tendon of which muscle makes up the tarsal plate/tarsus (eyelids)
Levator palpebrae superioris
What is the orbital septum?
Fascial sheet attached to the periosteum of the orbital rim and levator tendon
What are the eyelids lined with?
Conjunctiva (contains goblet cells)
Where do the Sebaceous tarsal galnds/Meibom’s glands empty into?
They empty into the free margin of the eyelid
What type of glands are also found in the cilia/eyelashes?
Sebaceous glands
Which part of the orbit are lacrimal glands mostly found in?
Supralateral
some are also found in the eyelid lateral to the tarsal plate between the conjunctiva and palpebral fascia
What are tears a mix of?
Serous
Mucous
Sebaceous
