Q

what happens if there is an injury to the left side of the optic chiasm

A

27
Q

why does the nose run when crying

A

because the eye and nose are joined

28
Q

what is the preganglionic parasympathetic supply to the lacrimal gland

A

facial nerve via nervous intermedius and travel in greater petrosal nerve then then the nerve of the pterygoid canal

29
Q

what ganglion is associated with the parasympathetic supply of the lacrimal gland

A

pterygopalatine ganglion

30
Q

what is the postganglionic parasympathetic supply of the lacrimal gland

A

fibres hitch hike to zygomatic branch of CNV2 to reach the lacrimal gland

31
Q

what are the 6 extraocular muscles

A

superior oblique, inferior oblique, superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, lateral rectus

32
Q

what does levator palpebrae superioris do

A

elevates upper eyelid and allows to open eyelid and keep open

33
Q

what is the superior oblique muscle controlled by

A

a tendon called the trochlea which works on a pulley system

34
Q

what nerve runs over the muscles in the eye

A

supraorbital nerve (part of ophthalmic division)

35
Q

what muscle pulls the eye to the nose

A

medial rectus

36
Q

what muscle pulls the eye to the side of the head

A

lateral rectus

37
Q

what muscle pulls the eye upwards and medial

A

superior rectus

38
Q

what muscle pulls the eye downwards and medial

A

inferior rectus

39
Q

what muscle pulls the eye upwards and outwards

A

inferior oblique

40
Q

what muscle pulls the eye downwards and outwards

A

superior oblique

41
Q

what muscles are required to work together to look straight up or down

A

rectus and an oblique

42
Q

what nerves innervate the motor supply of eye

A

oculomotor, abducens, trochlear

43
Q

what muscles does the oculomotor supply

A

medial rectus, inferior rectus, superior rectus, inferior oblique, levator palpebrae

44
Q

what muscle does the abducens nerve supply

A

lateral rectus

45
Q

what muscle does the trochlear nerve supply

A

superior oblique

46
Q

what does the oculomotor nerve carry parasympathetic fibres for

A

pupil constriction and accommodation

47
Q

what does the oculomotor nerve carry sympathetic fibres for

A

smooth muscle of levator palpebrae superioris

48
Q

what does injury to the oculomotor nerve result in

A

dilated pupil (mydriasis), ptosis, and eye turned down and outwards

49
Q

if the pupil is dilated, what nerve has a problem

A

oculomotor

50
Q

if the pupil is constricted, what nerve has a problem

A

sympathetic trunk in neck

51
Q

what are the 3 layers of the eyeball

A

sclera, choroid, retina

52
Q

what separates the posterior and anterior chamber of the eyeball

A

iris

53
Q

how does the posterior and anterior chamber of the eyeball communicate

A

through the pupil

54
Q

what is the eyeball made of

A

vitreous humour

55
Q

what are the chambers of the eyeball made of

A

aqueous humour

56
Q

what does the choroid continue as

A

ciliary body

57
Q

what does the ciliary body form

A

a complete supportive ring around the lens and iris

58
Q

what happens when the ciliaris muscle contracts

A

ring shrinks, suspensory ligaments relax and lens become rounded

59
Q

what muscles does the iris contain

A

sphincter pupillae, dilator pupillae

60
Q

where is aqueous humour secreted from

A

ciliary body

61
Q

where is aqueous humour reabsobred

A

scleral venous sinus

62
Q

how does glaucoma happen

A

from excess pressure

63
Q

what helps glaucoma

A

drugs that constrict the pupil which can pull the venous sinus open

64
Q

what happens to the lens in the absence of nerve stimulation

A

ciliary muscle relaxed, zonular fibres under tension, lens stretched thin to refract light for distant vision

65
Q

what happens to the lens when there is parasympathetic stimulation

A

ciliary muscles contract, zonular fibres relax, internal tension causes lens to become more spherical to refract light for near vision
