what 7 bones make up the orbit of the eye?
Superior margin: frontal bone and sphenoid
Inferior margin: maxillary bone, palatine and zygomatic
Medial margin: ethmoid, lacrimal bone, sphenoid (body of) and maxilla

what are the 3 foramina at the apex of the orbit?
optic foramen
superior orbital fissure
inferior orbital fissure

what passes through the optic foramen
optic nerve
opthalmic artery
what passes through the superior orbital fissure?
III cranial nerve - oculomotor nerve
IV cranial nerve - trochlear
VI cranial nerve - abducens
opthalmic (VQ division of CNV) nerve
opthalmic veins

what are the main contents of the orbit?
eyeballs
extrinsic ocular muscles
ligaments supporting the eye

whata re the 3 layers of the eye?
outer fibrous layers
middle vascular layer
inner sensory layer
what makes up the outer fibrous layer of the eye?
sclera

it is a complete layer (extends all the way through)

what makes up the middle vascular layer of the eye?
choroid
ciliary body
iris
Is incomplete anteriorly. Anterior apeture (in iris) is called pupil

what makes up the inner sensory layer of the eye?
retina
is present posteriorly but anteriorly it stops short just infront of equator of the eye

what divides the eye into an anterior and aposterior segment?
crystalline lens

aqueous humour
what is the name of the gel in the posterior segment?
vitreous humour
