A

canthus

19
Q

what 3 glands are in the eyelids?

A

sebaceous= glands of zeiss
sweat glands= ciliary glands of Moll
modified sebaceous= tarsal/ meibomian glands

20
Q

what gland secretes a fluid that allows the eyelids to stay air tight?

A

meibomian glands

21
Q

a stye or external hordelum is caused by what?

A

inflammation of glands of moll or zeis

22
Q

a chalazion or internal hordeolum is caused by?

A

inflammation of tarsal/ meibomian glands

23
Q

tears collect in the lacrimal lake and drain into?

A

lacrimal punctum

24
Q

what is the elevated part in the middle of the lacrimal lake?

A

lacrimal caruncle

25
Q

small elevation on the medial end of each eyelid

A

lacrimal papilla

26
Q

opening in the papilla=

A

lacrimal puncta

27
Q

ech punctum leads to what?

A

a sup and inferior lacrimal canal

28
Q

what are the layers of the eyelid, starting with outermost

A
skin
superficial fascia (orbicularis oculi muscle)
tendon for levator palpebrae
tarsal plate (tough fibrous tissue with tarsal glands)
palpebral conjunctiva (mucous membrane)
29
Q

the function of the orbicularis oculi ( facial nerve)

A

close eyelid

30
Q

what opens/ raises the upper eyelid?

A

levator palpebrae superioris
occulomotor nerve
also the superior tarsal muscle (symp)

31
Q

lefaro ptosis is caused by?

A

lesion of oculomotor nerve.
causes drooping of eyelid
MAJOR PTOSIS

32
Q

facial nerve palsy causes

A

lagothalmos, cant close eye cuz it supplies the orbicularis oculi

33
Q

superior tarsal muscle is supplied by

A

cervical sympathetic chain

34
Q

horners syndrome

A

damage to cervical symp chain, wont be able to contract superior tarsal muscle.
MINOR PTOSIS
cant sweat on face, will have opposite effects of the symp, so blushing and vasodilation

35
Q

symptoms of horners ( damage to symp cervical chain)

A
anhydrosis (no sweat)
minor ptosis
cutaneous vasodilation, 
miosis (constriction of pupils)
enopthalmos (sinking of eyeball)
36
Q

this is a remnant of the nictitating membrane (3rd eyelid in reptiles)

A

semilunar fold

lateral edge of the lacrimal lake

37
Q

the superior salivary nucleus contains?

A

pre gg. parasymp cell bodies

38
Q

the pre gg parasymp fibers from salvatory nucleus run with the facial nerve and then join with the greater petrosal. the greater petrosal join with what?

A

deep petrosal (post gg. symp)

39
Q

greater petrosal + deep petrosal=

A

nerve of ptyergoid canal
