Q

What happens to the eye when there is a CN IV nerve palsy? What is a common cause of this?

A

Eye is hyper
Head tilt to opposite side of palsy
Congenital or traumatic etiology

25
Q

What happens to the eye in a CN VI palsy? What are the common causes of this?

A

Eye is deviated toward nose

Common etiology includes trauma, elevated ICP and ischemia from DM

26
Q

Blood supply to the eye comes from where?

A

The ophthalmic artery which is a branch of the ICA

27
Q

Name the 10 branches of the ophthalmic artery.

A
Lacrimal a
Central retinal a
Long/short posterior ciliary aa
Supra orbital
Supra trochlear
Medial palpebral aa
Ant/post ethmoidal
Dorsal nasal
28
Q

Where does the lacrimal artery supply blood too?

A

To lacrimal gland

29
Q

Where does the central retinal artery supply blood to and from what structure does it pierce?

A

Pierces CN II and perfuses the retina

30
Q

Where does the long posterior ciliary arteries supply blood too?

A

Ciliary body and iris

31
Q

Where does the short posterior ciliary arteries supply blood too?

A

Choroid

32
Q

Where do the supra orbital and supra trochlear arteries supply blood too?

A

Forehead and anterior scalp

33
Q

Where do the medial palpebral arteries supply blood too?

A

Contribute to arcades in upper and lower eyelids

34
Q

Where does the anterior ethmoidal artery supply blood too?

A

Ethmoidal air cells
Frontal sinus
Nasal cavity
External nose

35
Q

Where does the posterior ethmoidal artery supply blood too?

A

Ethmoidal sinuses and nasal cavity

36
Q

Where does the dorsal nasal artery supply blood too?

A

Terminal branch to root of nose and lacrimal sac

37
Q

What is the venous drainage of the eye?

A

The superior and inferior ophthalmic veins

38
Q

List the 3 layers of the eyeball and their main components

A

Fibrous layer: sclera and cornea
Vascular layer: choroid, ciliary body, iris
Sensory layer: retina

39
Q

What do the superior and inferior ophthalmic veins drain into?

A

The cavernous sinus

40
Q

Map the pathway of aqueous humor from creation to drainage.

A

Ciliary processes secrete > posterior chamber > pupil > anterior chamber > trabecular Meshwork > scleral venous channels

41
Q

In what way do dilator pupillae fibers oriented?

A

A radial manner

42
Q

What is the dilator pupillae innervated by?

A

By the sympathetic system thus causing mydriasis

43
Q

In what way are the sphincter pupillae fibers oriented?

A

Circumferentially

44
Q

How is the sphincter pupillae innervated?

A

It is innervated by postganglionic parasympathetic fibers causing miosis.

45
Q

What is the intraocular lens composed of?

A

Water and proteins

46
Q

What component of the lens breaks down in cataracts?

A

Breakdown of the lens proteins

47
Q

The vitreous is mainly composed of what?

A

Water and collagen

48
Q

What does the vitreous have none of!

A

BLOOD VESSELS!!!!!

49
Q

What is the anterior chamber located between?

A

The iris and the cornea

50
Q

How does the central retinal vein drain the eye?

A

Drains retina > leaves through CN II > drains into sup. ophthalmic vein

51
Q

How do the Vorticose veins drain the eye?

A

Usually four in number, one for each quadrant of the choroid. Pierced the sclera and drains into the sup and inf ophthalmic veins

52
Q

Map the pathway of lacrimal gland innervation (efferent)

A

GE fibers travel from CN II > greater petrosal > n of pterygoid canal > pterygopalatine ganglion > hitchhike with v2 branch > infraorbital fissure > lacrimal (v1) > lacrimal gland

53
Q

What happens when the ciliary muscle contracts?

A

The size of the ciliary body decreases, causing a loosening of the zonular fibers, causing the intraocular lens to thicken for accommodation.

A

Basal
Reflex
Emotional

55
Q

What is the purpose/cause of basal tearing?

A

Lubrication
Cleaning
Removal of bacteria

56
Q

What is the purpose/cause of reflex tearing?

Irritation
Wash irritants from cornea

Afferent = trigeminal
Efferent = facial

A

Emotional stress

Cause unknown

59
Q
