1
Q

what are the three roots of the ciliary ganglion

A

parasympathetic, sympathetic, sensory

2
Q

post- ganglion lacrimal gland pathway sympathetic

A

internal carotid artery plexus –> deep petrosal nerve –> vidian nerve –> pterygiodpalatine ganglion (symp passes through) –> maxillary nerve –> follows zygomatic branch –> communicating branch –> lacrimal nerve

5
Q

ciliary ganglion sympathetic pathway

A

passes through –> BV of conj + choroid

6
Q

short ciliary nerves, choroidal (vasoconstriction) + conj bv

7
Q

damage to cilairy ganglion causes

A
  • numbness
  • horner’s syndrome
  • blown pupil
  • lack of acc
  • damage NT in ganglia (only parasympathetic involved –> dilated pupil)
8
Q

sympathetic innervation

ciliary muscle

A

inhibition of acc

-no clinical significance

9
Q

agonist

A

replicates the action of the neurotransmitter

10
Q

lacrimal gland (preganglion) parasympathetic

A

CN& nucleus (pons) –> travel w/ facial nerve –> geniculate ganglion (sensory) –> greater petrosal nerve –> vidian nerve –> pterygopalatine ganglion –> synaose

11
Q

lacrimal gland (preganglion) sympathetic

A

T1-T3 spinal –> superior cervical ganglia –>

12
Q

what is the preganglionic pathway in the parasympathetic pathway

A

cn3 –SOF–> inferior division –> ciliary ganglion–> synapse –>

13
Q

cav sin –> oculomotor cn3 –>

A

superior branch cn3 –> muller muscle –> widening of palpebral fissure

14
Q

clinical correlate: hippus (pupillary unrest)

A

sympathetic + parasympathetic balancing out

-causes pupil to continuously move slightly

15
Q

abberent regeneration tonic pupil

A

accommodative fibers can grow to the sphincter

16
Q

indirect acting agonist

adrenergic agonist

A

aka sympathomimetics

  • hydroxyamphetamine
  • cocaine
  • pupil dilation
17
Q

what is the central pathway in the parasympathetic pathway

A

hypothalamus –> midbrain (ew-nucleus- cn 3)

18
Q

autonomic lacrimal innervation parasympathetic

A

increase lacrimal secretion

19
Q

pupil dilation

A

phenylephrine: direct acting on dilator muscle
tropicamide: dilation, pupil not to constrict

20
Q

adrenergic antagonist

A

aka sympatholytic
dapiprazole
reversal of mydriasis from phenylephrine

21
Q

where do the sympathetic and parasympathetic join in autonomic pathway to the lacrimal gland

A

vidian nerve

22
Q

what two sections does the cav sin break into

A

ophthalmic nerve + oculomotor cn 3

23
Q

what is the post- ganglion pathway in the sympathetic pathway

A

-internal carotid artery plexus –> carotid canal –> cav sin

24
Q

autonomic lacrimal innervation sympathetic

A

constricting blood vessels –> decrease gland secretion

25
Q

cholinergic –>

A

acetylcholine

26
Q

parasympathetic innervation ciliary muscle

A

accommodation - 97%

27
Q

clinical correlate: corneal reflex - afferent

A

cn5 –> afferent

-senses something on cornea via nasociliary branch

28
Q

what is a tonic pupil

A

pupil doesn’t constrict well, inability to acc (same fibers)

29
Q

direct acting agonist

A

acts directly at the receptor site

30
Q

what does the sympathetic pathway supply

A
  • iris (dilator + sphincter)
  • cb
  • muller muscle
  • lacrimal gland
  • blood vessels (choroid, conj)
31
Q

what is the pre-ganglion pathway in the sympathetic pathway

A
  • sympathetic chain ganglion (on either side)

- superior cervical ganglion –> synpase

32
Q

sympathetic innervation muler muscle

A

raising of eyelid, widening of palpebral fissure

33
Q

ciliary ganglion sensory pathway

A

–> passes through (opp direction) –> nasociliary nerve –> v1 –> trigeminal

34
Q

indirect acting agonist

cholinergic agonist

A

aka parasympathomimetics
physostigmine
-pupil constriction + acc

35
Q

cav sin –> nasociliary nerve –>

A

long ciliary nerve + ciliary ganglion

36
Q

what is the postganglionic pathway in the parasympathetic pathway

A

short ciliary nerves –> iris sphincter, cb

37
