24
Q

What structure of the middle vascular tunic suspends the lens and regulates its curvature?

25
What structure is a raised ring with ridges converging toward the lens in the center?
ciliary body
26
Smooth ciliary muscles do the accommodation, which is what?
the ability of the eye to focus on near or distant objects by changing the shape of the lens
27
What structure of the middle vascular tunic provides the blood supply?
choroid
28
What is the light reflecting area of the eye?
tapetum lucidum
29
What is the area of the internal nervous tunic where the axons of the fourth layer concentrate to leave the eye?
optic disk
30
What is the area of the internal nervous tunic that contains light sensitive receptor cells?
retina
31
The retina in dogs is mostly composed of rods or cones?
rods (95%)
32
What is the eye chamber between the cornea and iris, filled with aqueous humor?
anterior chamber
33
What is the eye chamber between the iris and ciliary body-lens, filled with aqueous humor?
posterior chamber
34
What is the eye chamber between ciliary body and retina, filled with vitreous humor?
vitreous chamber
35
What has a role in the maintenance of intraocular pressure and is produced by the cells of the ciliary processes?
aqueous humor
36
What is the disease of the eye in which the pressure within the ye, called intraocular pressure, is increased?
glaucoma
37
What is the soft, transparent tissue that sits posterior to the iris and helps focus incoming light onto the retina?
lens
38
What connects the zygomatic process of the frontal bone with the frontal process of the zygomatic bone?
orbital ligament
39
What muscle is located dorsal in the orbit, attaches within the superior eyelid structure, and is resposible to elevate the superior eyelid?
levator palpebrae superioris muscle
40
What nerve innervates the levator palpebrae superioris muscle?
oculomotor nerve CN III
41
What is the mucosa that covers th posterior surface of the eyelids?
palpebral conjunctiva
42
What glands are located posterior to the orbicularis oculi muscle and produce an oily substance (meibum), which coats the tearm film to prevent the evaporation of tears and from spilling onto the face?
tarsal glands (meibomian glands)
43
What muscle forms the main muscular structure of the eyelids and closes the aperture between the eyelid or palpebral fissure?
orbicularis oculi muscle
44
What nerve innervates the orbicularis oculi muscle?
facial nerve CN VII
45
The third eyelid is also called?
nictitanting membrane
46
What covers the surface of the sclera?
bulbar conjunctiva
47
What is the blind sac between the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva?
fornix (superior)
48
What covers the deep surface of the eyelids?
palpebral conjuctiva
49
What is the fascia that encapsules the extrinsic muscles that move the eye, periorbital adipose tissue, vessels, and nerves?
periorbita (orbital fascia)
50
What is the parasympathetic ganglion where preganglionic fibers from facial nerve CN VII synapse?
pterygopalatine ganglion
51
What are the extrinsic muscles of the eye?
- dorsal rectus muscle - ventral rectus muscle - medial rectus muscle - lateral rectus muscle - retractor bulbi muscle - dorsal oblique muscle - ventral oblique muscle

The dorsal oblique muscle is innervated by what nerve?
trochlear nerve CN IV
55
The ventral oblique muscle is innervated by what nerve?
oculomotor nerve CN III
56
What muscle has fibers located around the optic nerve, and is reponsible for retracting the eyeball into the orbit as result of a reflex?
retractor bulbi muscle
57
The retractor bulbi muscle is innervated by what nerve?
abducens nerve CN VI
