Q

Oculomotor nerve (CN 3)

A

Parasympathetics:

  • pre synaptic: synapse on ciliary ganglion
  • post synaptic use short ciliary branches of V1 to get to the eye
  • muscles that get parasympathetics are the sphincter papillae and ciliary Muscles*

Motor: most extraocular eye muscles

  • levator palpebrae superioris
  • superior rectus
  • medial rectus
  • inferior rectus

Q

Nasocillary branch of the Ophthalmic nerve (V1)

Long ciliary: sympathetic and somatic sensory of the eye itself

Short ciliary: sympathetic, somatic sensory, and parasympathetic from ciliary ganglion to the eye itself

Ethmoid branches: parasympathetics from facial nerve (CN7) and somatic sensory to the nasal cavity, sphenoid sinus and ethmoid air cells

Q

Lateral rectus

A

Innervated by abducent (CN6)

Attachment is to lateral aspect to the lateral aspect of eye

Conducts eye abduction

17
Q

Superior oblique

A

Innervated by trochlear (CN4)

Attachment is the lateral posterior aspect of the eye and wraps around trochlear nerve

Depression, abduction and medial rotation

Down and out

18
Q

Inferior oblique

A

Innervated by oculomotor (CN3)

Attachment is the lateral posterior aspect of the eye

Elevation, abduction and lateral rotation

up and out

19
Q

oculomotor palsy

A

Eye presents abducted and depressed

20
Q

Trochlear palsy

A

Eye appears adducted and elevated

21
Q

Abducent palsy

A

Eye appears fully adducted

22
Q

Conjunctivitis

A

Infection of the palpebrae conjunctiva lining the inside of the tarsal plates of the eyes

23
Q

Eyelid function

A

Close via constriction of the obicularis oculi (CN7)

Open via levator palpebrae superioris and superior tarsal plate (CN3 and T1 root respectively)
- levator palpebrae superioris only does inital opening with tonic/static opening of the eye being the superior tarsal plate (root of T1)

while not always, inferior tarsal muscle and frontalis muscle can assist in tonic opening of the eyelid

24
Q

Tarsal (meibomian) glands

A

Line the internal superior/inferior tarsal plates

Secrete Meibum which is a lubricant that prevents tear evaporation and protects eye

25
Q

Supportive structures of the eye

A

Collectively called the fibrous tunic

  • sclera = opaque white part of the visible eye that is the site of extrinsic muscle attachment
  • cornea = transparent layer covering the lens
26
Q

Structures of the Nutritive, vascular and muscular layer of the eye

A

found under the fibrous tunic

  • choroid = vascular layer between the sclera and retina
  • iris = contractile diaphragm of the lens. Possesses two muscles
    1) sphincter pupillae = constricts pupil and innervated by parasympathetic of CN3 from the short ciliary branches
    2) dilator pupillae =. Opens the pupil and is innervated by sympathetic fibers of CN3 from long and short ciliary nerves
  • ciliary muscle and body = secretes aqueous humor and possess muscle fibers that conduct accommodation of the lens (focusing on closer objects (CN3 parasympathetics vis short ciliary branches)
27
Q

Structures of the nervous layer of the eye

A
  • retina = conducts all special sensory of the eye via 5 parts
    1) optic part: light receptor outer layer and is pigmented
    2) ciliary part: covers ciliary body and is pigmented
    3) iridium part: pigmented layer that covers the iris
    4) optic disk: site of optic nerve enters, “blind spot” and contains no pigmentation of receptors

5) macula: primary color reception layer that contains the fovea Centralis (site of most acute vision)
- also called the “yellow spot”

28
Q

Anterior and posterior vitreous chambers

A

Parts of the inner eye that contain aqueous humor fluid which is the primary source of nutrition to the inner eye (it is avascular)

  • aqueous humor is produced by the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and possess around the lens into the anterior chamber
29
Q

Vitreous body

A

Sits posteriorly to the lens and anterior chamber

Function is to provide consistent pressure and proper focal distance of the lens
- consists of virtuous humor which is more gelatinous than aqueous humor

30
Q

Canal of Schlemm

A

Small site of the anterior chamber that functions to recycle aqueous humor into the venous system

31
Q

Ophthalmic artery and its branches

A

Primary outer eye blood supply (branch of internal carotid)

1) central retinal artery: supplies the retinal neurons in the optic nerve
2) long and short posterior ciliary arteries: supply the rods and cones of the eye
3) lacrimal artery: supplies lacrimal gland
* Various anastomoses can occur also*

32
Q

Danger triangle

A

Venus anastomosis that can lead to infection spreading into the cavernous sinus

  • includes superior ophthalmic, inferior ophthalmic and supratrochlear
33
Q

Eyes opening vs closing

A

Opening via levator palpabrae superioris and superior tarsal (CN3 and sympathetics), close via the obicularis oculi (CN7)
