Lecture Five Flashcards
Sympathetic system causes what to the eye lids?
opens them wider
which foramen is located just under the orbit?
infraorbital foramen
Inferior orbital fissure is located where?
below superior orbital fissure in the orbit of the eye
Lacrimal gland is located where?
between eyebrow and eye.
sphenopalatine foramen located where?
between sphenoid and palatine bone, right above pterygopalatine fossa.
Nerve of the pterygoid canal also called?
vidian nerve
Vidian nerve arises from which nerve? therefore synapses in which area?
Facial nerve therefore the preganglionic parasympathetic portion synapses in the pterygopalatine ganglion which is in the pterygopalatine fossa.
Maxillary sinus: air or fluid filled? other sinuses?
Air.
all others air filled except cavernous sinus which is filled with deoxy blood.
The lateral wall of the orbit is formed anteriorly by which bone? posteriorly by?
Zygomatic, Sphenoid
The roof of the orbit is formed by which structures?
lesser wing of sphenoid (posteriorly) and frontal bone
The medial wall of the orbit is made up by which structures?
Lacrimal bone (most anterior), ethmoid bone, palatine (most posterior)
The floor of the orbit made up of what structures?
Maxilla (mostly) and zygomatic bone.
Inferior orbital fissure contains what passing through it?
infraorbital artery and vein, infraorbital and zygomatic branches of the maxillary nerve and branches from inferior opthalamic vein.
What are openings by the ethmoid bone called?
Anterior and posterior ethmoidal foramina.
The greater and deep petrosal are parasympathetic or sympathetic? where do they synapse? post or pregang? Where do they pass?
Greater petrosal nerve is a preganglionic parasympathetic (of CN 7) nerve and synapses in the pterygopalatine ganglion.
Deep petrosal is a postganglionic sympathetic nerve.
Both nerves pass through the vidian/pterygoid canal
The lesser petrosal nerve is pregang or post gang?parasymp or symp? gives input to where which is located?
Preganglionic parasympathetic input to otic ganglion (located in infratemporal fossa).
The post ganglionic parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves pass into the orbit through which fissure? along with which nerve? and they innervate which gland?
infraorbital fissure along with the zygomatic nerve and innervate the lacrimal galdn.
The postganglion nerve fibres travel into the orbit with which branch?
zygomatic branch of CN V2.
The trigeminal nerve CNV2 passes out of skull through which foramen? and then under the orbit as which nerve?
Foramen rotundum (maxillary branch) and comes out as infraorbital nerve.
Ethmoid sinus is located very close to where? air filled or fluid? can cause what if infected?
Air filled, right next to optic canal (therefore optic nerve). Could cause blindness or optic neuritis.
Orbital fractures usually occur where? could also cause?
along sutures or fractures in thin medial walls (blow out fractures)
Orbital fracture where could cause trapping of the inferior oblique? which eye movement would be affected?
Floor, could affect eye movements upwards.
Fracture in the roof of the orbit could cause what?
pulsatile proptosis
All EOM muscles originate from the annulus of zin except for? where does it originate from?
Inferior oblique, originates from the anterior margin of orbit and attaches at the back of the eye.
The two different layers of the levator palpebral superioris muscle are?
striated voluntary and smooth involuntary.
Whats unique about the superior oblique?
comes from annulus of zin and goes through the trochlea (pulley and then goes back to attach at back of eye.
Superior rectus turns eye which direction? Inferior rectus?
Up, can also slightly rotate inward.
Down, can also slightly rotate outward.
Oculomotor nerve innervates which EOM muscles?
Medial rectus, superior rectus, inferior rectus, inferior oblique and levator palpebral superioris muscle.
Which are the exceptions of innervation by CN3?
Superior oblique which is innervated by the trochlear nerve (CN4) and lateral rectus which is innervated by the abducent nerve (CN6)
If the eye is straight, the superior oblique can move it in which direction? inferior oblique?
inward, outward.
