The Orbit and Eye Flashcards
Membrane that lines the inner eyelid
Palpebral conjuctiva
What is the bulbar conjuctiva?
Membrane that lines the surface of the eye
This is a potential space between the palpebral and bulbar conjuctiva
Conjunctival sac
Whatare is the fornices?
Conjunctival reflections from eyelid to the eye
What are the tarsal glands?
Special kind of sebaceous glands at the rim of the eyelids that are responsible for keeping the eyes moist
What is the orbital septum?
A membranous sheet that acts as the anterior boundary of the orbit. It extends from the orbital rims to the eyelids. It forms the fibrous portion of the eyelids.
What are the eyelids of the eye called?
Superior and inferior tarsus
This connects the lateral angles of the superior and inferior tarsi to the zygomatic bone
Lateral palpebral ligament
Where does the medial palpebral ligament attach?
Anterior lacrimal crest
Bones that make up the medial wall of the orbit
Frontal Lacrimal Sphenoid Ethmoid Maxilla palatine
What bones make up the floor of the orbit?
Maxillary
Zygomatic
What bones make up the posterior wall of the orbit?
Frontal
Zygomatic
Sphenoid
What bone makes up the roof of the orbit?
Frontal
Where does the optic canal open up into the orbit?
Greater wing of sphenoid
The sperior orbital fissure is part of what bone?
Sphenoid
The inferior orbital fissure is part of what bones?
Sphenoid
Maxillae
The infraorbital foramen is in what bone?
Maxillae
What foramen is found in the frontal portion of teh orbit?
Supraorbital
What structures are found in the optic canal?
CN II
Opthalmic a.
What structures are found in the superior orbital fissure?
CN II, IV, V1, VI
Opthalmic vv.
What structures are found in the supraorbital notch/foramen?
Supraorbital n. and a.
What structures are found in the inferior orbital fissure?
Infraorbital n.
Zygomatic n. and a.
What structures are found in the infraorbital foramen?
Infraorbital n. and a.
The ethmoidal n. is a branch of what nerve?
CN V1
What muscles of the eye are innervated by CN III?
Levator palpebrae superioris Inferior oblique Superior rectus Middle rectus Inferior rectus
What innervates the lateral rectus muscle?
Abducent nerve (CN VI)
What eye muscle does the trochlear nerve innervate?
Superior oblique
What does the lacrimal nerve innervate?
The lacrimal gland and gives off branches to the conjunctiva and skin of the superior eyelid
This branch of CN V1 provides sensory innervation to the superior eyelid, scalp, and forehead
Frontal n
This is the sensory nerve to the eyeball
Nasociliary n.
Branch of the nasociliary n. supplies the eyelids, conjunctiva, and lacrimal sac
Infratrochlear n.
Sensory nerve that transmits impulses from the retina to the brain
CN II
Artery and vein that starts at the ophthalmic artery and exits the orbit at the supraorbital notch to supply the forehead and scalp
Supraorbital a. and v.
Where does the infraorbital artery run?
From the maxillary artery along the infraorbital groove and out to the face
Nerve that carries sensory fibers from the skin and parasympathetic fibers to the lacrimal nerve
Zygomatic n.
What are the two branches of the zygomatic nerve?
Zygomaticotemporal nerve
Zygomaticofacial nerve
The zygomatic nerve is a branch of this nerve
CN V2
What does the infraorbital nerve innervate?
Lower eyelid
Upper lip
Part of the nasal vestibule
