Q

Name the 7 extrinsic muscles of the eyes.

A

Superior, inferior, lateral, medial recti

Superior and inferior obliques

Levator palpebri superiorus

22

29
Q

What is the only extrinsic muscle of the eye which doesnt arise from the posterior aspect of the orbit?

A

Inferior oblique

30
Q

Name the ligaments which prevent over-adduction or over-abduction of the eye?

A

Medial and lateral check ligaments

31
Q

What is the function of the suspensory ligaments of the eye?

A

Suspend lens from ciliary body

32
Q

Name the branch of the internal carotid artery that supplies the orbit and the eye.

A

Opthalmic artery

33
Q

Through which foramen does the opthalmic artery enter the orbit?

A

Optic foramen

34
Q

Which foramina in the orbit do the opthalmic veins pass through to enter into the carvernous venous sinus?

A

Superior orbital fissure

35
Q

Name the 3 ossicles.

A

Malleus, incus, stapes

36
Q

Which ossicle is in contact with the tympanic membrane?

A

Malleus

37
Q

Which ossicle is in contact with the oval window?

A

Stapes

38
Q

Name 2 muscle related to the ossicles.

A

Stapedius

Tensor tympani

39
Q

What is the function of the stapedius?

A

Stablises stapes bone.

40
Q

What is the function of the tensor tympani?

A

Dampen loud sounds (by tensing tympanic membrane)

41
Q

Name 2 areas with which the middle ear cavity communicates.

A

Nasopharynx (via eustachin tube aka pharyngotympanic tube)

Mastoid air cells

42
Q

Within which part of the temporal bone do the inner and middle ear lie?

A

Petrous part

43
Q

Inner ear = bony labyrinth and membranous labyrinth. What are each of these?

A

Bony labyrinth: rigid, bony outer wall of the inner ear in the temporal bone.

Membranous labyrinth: fluid filled tubes (endolymph) which contain receptors for hearing and balance. It lies within the bony labyrinth, surrounded by perilymph

44
Q

What fluid lies within the bony labyrinth?

A

Perilymph

45
Q

What fluid lies within the membranous labyrinth?

A

Endolymph

46
Q

A

Internal acoustic meatus.

47
Q

Which other cranial nerve exits through this foramen?

A

VIII - vestibulocochlear

48
Q

While in the middle ear cavity, the facial nerve gives off the chorda tympani. State 2 things this will go and innervate.

A

Sub-mandibular and sub-lingual salivary glands.

Anterior 2/3rds of tongue - taste sensation
