Q

what is circulation of aqueous?

A
  • liquid produced and secreted in ciliary body due to the processes
  • it then passes into the posterior body, over the lens, nourishing the lens
  • it then passes through the opening of the pupil into the anterior chamber, once in the anterior chamber it can circulate and nourish the internal aspect of the cornea
  • the aqueous is then reabsorbed into the scleral venous sinus (canal of Schlemm) at the iridocorneal angle

Q

what does the fundus include?

A
  • optic disc
  • macula
  • fovea
32
Q

what is the fundus?

A
  • the posterior area where light is focused

- it includes the optic disc, macula and fovea

33
Q

what is the optic disc?

A
  • part of the fundus
  • point of CNII formation
  • only point of entry/exit for blood vessels and axons of CNII
  • blind spot!!
34
Q

what is the macula?

A

-part of the fundus with the greatest density of cones

35
Q

what is the area of most acute vision in the fundus?

A

-fovea

36
Q

how is light seen in the retina?

A
  • the photoreceptors pick up the cells
  • ganglions create a synapse to carry on the pulse to the axons
  • the axons of the ganglion cells send the signals to the optic nerve
37
Q

why is the optic disc known as a blind spot?

A

-it does not have any photoreceptors

38
Q

where do the retinal veins and arteries lie in relation to the retina?

A

-they lie anterior to the retina

39
Q

what is looked at in a fundoscopy?

A

fundus

40
Q

what is highlighted pink?

A

macula of retina

41
Q

what is highlighted pink?

A

branches of retinal vessels (anterioles and venules)

42
Q

what is highlighted pink?

A

optic disc

43
Q

what is highlighted pink?

A

the central artery of the retina and the central vein of the retina

44
Q

which part of the eye will light from the left visual field hit?

A

-right side of both eyes (vise versa with right)

45
Q

where does the light from the left visual field get processed in the brain after getting transferred at the optic chiasm?

A

right hand side of the brain

46
Q

does the superior oblique muscle pas through the trochlear?

A

yes it does

Q

when we are describing the movement of the eyeball what are we actually describing the movement of?

A

-where the pupil has moved from the primary position (looking forward)

51
Q

what does movement around the vertical axis allow?

A

-adduction of abduction of the pupil

52
Q

what does movement around the transverse axis allow?

A

-elevation or depression

53
Q

what does movement around the A-P axis allow?

A
  • medial or lateral movement of the superior pole of the eyeball
  • medially AKA intorsion
  • lateral AKA extorsion
54
Q

what is also tested when you are testing the individual extraocular muscles?

A

their nerve supply

55
Q

what is the role of the superior rectus?

A
  • extraocular muscle
  • elevation of pupil only (when eye is in abduction)

-it attaches slightly medially to the line of vision, pulling the eyeball down when contracting and elevating the pupil, due to being slight on medial line if the eye is not already in abduction the superior rectus will cause abduction so to test the superior rectus the eye must be already abducted

56
Q

what is the role of the inferior rectus?

A
  • extraocular muscle

- depression of pupil only (when abducted)

57
Q

what is the role of the lateral rectus?

A

-only abducts eyeball

58
Q

how would you test the lateral rectus in the right eye?

A

-ask patient to look towards right and lateral rectus would cause abduction

59
Q

what enrve innervates the lateral rectus?

A

CN VI (abducent)

60
Q

what extraocular muscles in the eye are brought into line with when abducting?

A

-superior and inferior rectus

61
Q

what nerve innervates the superior rectus?

A

CN III (oculomotor)

62
Q

what is the only thing the medial rectus can do?

A
  • adduct the eyeball

- brings the line of gaze into the same plane as superior oblique and inferior oblique attachments

63
Q

what innervates the medial rectus?

A

CN III (oculomotor)

64
Q

what should be done if you want to test inferior oblique?

A

-put eye into adduction

65
Q

role of inferior oblique?

A

elevates pupil

66
Q

what nerve innervates the inferior oblique?

A

Oculomotor CNIII

67
Q

what is the role of the superior oblique?

A

-depression of eyeball

68
Q

what nerve innervates the superior oblique?

A

CN IV (trochlear)

69
Q

what muscles allow pure elevation and how?

A
  • superior rectus and inferior oblique muscles
  • work together to elevate
  • cancel each other out as superior rectus wants to rotate medially whereas inferior oblique wants to pull laterally
70
Q

how does pure depression occur?

A
  • inferior rectus and superior oblique work together to depress the eye
  • cancel eachother out as inferior rectus wants to abduct and superior oblique wants to adduct
71
Q

how many bones is the orbit made up of and what are they?

A

7 bones

  • palatine bone
  • sphenoid
  • ethnoid
  • lacrimal
  • frontal
  • zygomatic
  • maxilla

(nasal shown in picture but not part of orbit)

72
Q

Name the 7 bones of the orbit and say which is which on the diagram

A
  • palatine (not pictured)
  • sphenoid (red)
  • ethmoid (yellow)
  • lacrimal (dark blue)
  • maxilla (purple)
  • frontal (sand)
  • zygomatic (light blue)
73
Q

how many orbital plates are there in the orbit and what are their names?

A

3

  • orbital plate of frontal
  • orbital plate of ethmoid
  • orbital plate of maxilla

(orbital plate is a flat plate on the bone)

74
Q

what orbital plates in the orbit are more susceptible to fractures?

A

-orbital plate of the maxilla and ethmoid bone as they are thinner

75
Q

what is highlighted pink?

A

optic canal

76
Q

what structures pass through the structure highlighted pink?

A
