CH14EYES Flashcards
meibomian glands
which are modified sebaceous glands that secrete an oily lubrication material onto the lids which stops the tears from overflowing and helps form an airtight seal when the lids are closed.
caruncle
is a small fleshy mass contain sebaceous gland
canthus
is the corner of they, the angle where the lids meet
limbus
The lower lid margin, which is the border between the cornea and the sclera
palpebral fissure
is the elliptical open space between the eyelids
conjunctive
is the exposed part of the ye that has a transparent protective covering
bulbar conjunctive
overlays the eyeballs with the white sclera sowing through
palpebral conjunctive
lines the lids and is clear with many small blood vessels.
puncta
is where tears drain into and is visible on the upper and lower lids in the inner canthus
abducens nerve (CNVI)
innervates the lateral rectus muscle which abducts the eye
trochlear nerve (CNIV)
innervates the superior oblique muscle
ocular motor nerve (CNIII)
innervates all the rest- the superior inferior and medial rectus and the inferior oblique.
three concentric coats of the eye
sclera-outer fibrous
choroid middle vascular
retina inner nervous
located in the outer region the sclera is
is tough and protective white covering
located in the outer region the cornea is
is thin transparent and sensitive to touch (corneal reflex), it helps with refracting media of the eye and bending incoming light rays to focus them on the inner retina
explain the trigeminal and facial nerves for blinking
the trigeminal nerve (CNV) carries the afferent sensation into the brain and the facial nerve (CN VII) carries the efferent messages that stimulates the blink
located in the middle the choroid has
has dark pigment to prevent light reflecting internally and is heavily vascular
located in the inner layer the retina is
the visual receptive layer of these in which light waves are changed into nerve impulses and is surrounded by soft gelatinous vitreous humor
located in the inner layer the the macula is located
on the temporal side of the fundus
