16
Q

Dilator pupillae

A

increases diameter of pupil

sympathetic, carried on blood vessels

17
Q

Sphincter pupillae

A

decreases the diameter of

parasympathetic via oculomotor nerve CN III

18
Q

ciliary muscle in the absence of nerve stimulation

A

ciliary muscle relaxed
zonular fibres are under tension
lens is stretched thin to refract light for distant vision

19
Q

Ciliary muscle under parasympathetic stimulation

A

ciliary muscle contract
zonular fibres relax
In the absence of stretching internal tension causes lens to become more spherical (thicker) to refract light for near vision

20
Q

7 extraocular muscles

A

levator palpebrae superioris from orbital roof to upper eyelid
Superior, inferior, medial and lateral recti from annular ring to sclera (anterior to sclera)

Superior oblique (lesser wing sphenoid) and inferior oblique (orbital floor) to sclera (posterior equator)
