Chapter Three: The Senses Flashcards
(267 cards)
What are the orbital cavities of the eye
-the roof
-the lateral wall
-the floor
-the medial wall
The roof of the orbit
-orbital plate of frontal bone
-lesser wing of sphenoid bone
The lateral wall of the orbit
-frontal process of zygomatic bone
-zygomatic process of frontal bone
-greater wing of sphenoid
The floor of the orbit
-maxilla
-palatine bone
-orbital plate of zygomatic bone
The medial wall of the orbit
-maxilla
-lacrimal bone
-ethmoid bone
-lesser wing of sphenoid
Supraorbital margin
-part of the frontal bone
-forms upper boundary of anterior base of orbit
Supraorbital foramen
-at junction of lateral 2/3 and medial 1/3 of the supraorbital margin
-where supraorbital nerve and vessels emerge
Infraorbital margin
-lower border of the base of the orbit
-formed by margin of maxilla and zygomatic bone
Infraorbital groove
-floor of the orbit
Infraorbital foramen
-lies below the orbital margin
Which nerve runs through infraorbital foramen
-infraorbital nerve
-which is a branch of the maxillary division of trigeminal nerve
Optic foramen
-opens at the nasal side of orbit
Which nerve and artery runs through the optic foramen
-optic nerve
-opthalamic artery
Superior orbital fissure
-lies between greater and lesser wings of the sphenoid bone
Structures passing through superior orbital fissure
-oculomotor nerve
-trochlear nerve
-branches of ophthalmic division of trigeminal nerve
-abducens nerve
-sympathetic roots of ciliary ganglion
Inferior orbital fissure
-lies on the floor of the orbit
-seperates greater wing of sphenoid from orbital surfaces of palatine, maxilla, and zygomatic bones
What nerve passes through inferior orbital fissure
-infraorbital nerve and vessels
Nasolacrimal fossa
-anterior end of medial orbital wall
What structures are in the nasolacrimal fossa
-lacrimal sac
3 layers of the eyeball
-fibrous layer
-vascular layer
-retina (inner layer)
Outer layer of the eyeball
-fibrous
Parts of the fibrous layer
-sclera
-cornea
Sclera
-white opaque connective tissue
-gives shape to the eyeball
-protects internal parts
-attachment site for eye muscles
Cornea
-transparent fibrous layer
-superficial to iris and allows light to enter interior of the eye
