This diameter contains a liquid, the aqueous humor, and the pupil
Posterior chamber of the eye
It is posterior to the iris, also contains aqueous humor, and surrounds the lens
Vitreous body
This is behind the lens forming the majority of the organ; it is filled with the gelatinous vitreous humor
Intraocular muscles
- Ciliary muscles
- Dilator Pupillae
- Sphincter pupillae
Extraocular muscles
- 6 extraocular muscles + the levator palpebrae superioris
- control eye movement
- Superior rectus
- Inferior rectus
- Medial rectus
- Lateral rectus
- Superior oblique
- Inferior oblique
Ciliary muscles (function, innervation)
- control the thickness of the lens via the suspensory ligaments
- under parasympathetic nervous control by cranial nerve 3 via the ciliary ganglion
Dilator and Sphincter Pupillae
- control the amount of light entering the pupil
- sphincter pupillae are under parasymethetic nervous control by cranial nerve 3 via the ciliary ganglion
- dilator pupillae is under sympathetic nervous control

Optic nerve
Which orbital muscles does oculomotor nerve (CN 3) supply
all of the orbital muscles except lateral rectus and superior oblique
CN 6 supplies which oribital muscles
lateral rectus
CN 4 supplies which oribital muscles
Superior oblique
The sympathetic preganglionic axons leave the spinal cord at ________, travel up the ________, and synapse in the __________
- T1
- Sympathetic trunk
- Superior cervical ganglion
Interruption in the sympathetic pathway leads to:
ptosis (drooping of eyelid) and permanently constricted pupil
The parasympathetic pathway innervates:
the lacramal gland and the interior surface of the eye
Describe the innervation of the lacrimal gland and what the activation of this pathway leads to
- Preganglionic nerve fibres from the facial nerve (CN 7) synapse in the pterygopalatine ganglion and travel to the lacrimal gland
- Activation of this pathway leads to contraction of the smooth muscle of the lacrimal gland producing tears
Innervation of the interior surface of the eye
- The oculomotor nerve (CN 3) sends preganglionic fibres to the ciliary ganglion (directly behind the eyeball)
- Some postganglionic axons travel to the sphincter puppillae, while others travel to the ciliary muscle of the lens
Conjunctiva
a continuous membrane that covers the inside of the eyelids and blends into the cornea
Tarsal plates
thick fascial core of the eyelids
Palperbral fissure
opening of the eyelids
The lacrimal glands (where are they situated? Where do their ducts enter? pathway of tears?)
- situated at the upper, outer orbit
- their ducts enter the conjunctival sacs
- tears migrate medially into the lacrimal duct via the lacrimal punctum
The pharynx
a muscular tube that hangs down from the base of the occipital bone in front of the cervical vertbrae
3 layers of the pharynx
- the inner mucosa
- the middle fibrous tissue
- the outer muscular layer
The pharynx communicates anteriorly with the:
- nasal cavity
- mouth
- larynx
3 regions of the pharynx
- Nasopharynx
- Oropharynx
- Laryngopharynx
Nasopahrynx (where does it open? How does it communicate with the middle ear?)
- opens anteriorly into the nasal cavity via the choanae
- communicates with the middle ear by means of the tympanic (or Eustachian) tube, whose opening is on the side wall of the pharynx
Oropharynx (location? how does it connect to the mouth?)
- extends from the soft palate down to the hyoid bone
- it is connected to the mouth through the fauces; this is the arch connecting the mouth to the pharynx
Laryngopharynx (where is it located? where is the opening to the larynx? what protects the entrance to the larynx?)
- This extends from the hyoid bone to the esophagus
- The opening to the larynx is located in the wall of the proximal laryngopharynx
- The entrance is protected by the epiglottis

Larynx

3 types of tonsils
- Pharyngeal tonsil
- Palatine tonsil
- Lingual tonsil
Pharyngeal tonsil
a single entity and is located at the posterior wall of the top of the parynx
Palatine tonsils
- are paired and sit in a depression at the base of the fauces, with one on each side
- oval and have an upper and lower pole
- they rest on an extremely thick, fibrous base
- easily removed surgically
Lingual tonsils
- are small cluster of lymphoid tissue found on the posterior part of the tongue
uvula
Palatine tonsil
Tongue
Fauces
2 parts of the mouth
- Vestibule
2. Oral Cavity - the mouth proper
Vestibule
- located between the lips and gums (and teeth)
- lined by a mucous membrane and contains the opening of the duct of the parotid gland opposite the upper second cavity
Oral cavity
- contains the tongue
- roof (the palates)
- floor (beneath the tongue)
- two walls (the teeth)
Two muscle groups of the tongue
- Intrinsic muscles
- Extrinsic muscles
Intrinsic muscles of the tongue (location, fibers, function)
- make up the body of the tongue
- consist of three groups of fibers: verticle, longitudinal and transverse fibers
- responsible for altering the shape of the tongue
4 extrinsic muscles of the tongue
- Genioglossus
- Hyoglossus
- Styloglossus
- Palatoglossus
Genioglossus
- this muscle pulls the tongue forward
- originates from the genial tubercle on the inside of the mandible
- inserts on the base of the tongue
Hyoglossus
- originates on the hyoid bone
- it is paired
- each individual muscle inserts on one side of the tongue
- depressed the tongue laterally
Styloglossus
- originates on the styloid process
- inserts onto the side of the tongue
- functions to elevate and retract the tongue
Palatoglossus
- runs from the side of the palate to enter the tongue
- elevates the tongue

Where are most of the papillae concentrated?
