PA A&P Eye Flashcards
color part of the eye
iris
white part of the eye
sclera
2 holes that drain tears
lacrimal punctum
tears drain into __ after they leave lacrimal punctum
canaliculus and then lacrimal sac
tears drain into ___ after they leave lacrimal sac
inferior meatus via the nasolacrimal duct
t/f there is a baseline of tear production
t
what is transmitted in the optic canal?
optic nerve and ophthalmic artery
what conveys other nerves and vessels which supply the orbital contents and the face?
superior orbital fissure
__ is continuous posteriorly with the pterygopalatine fossa and inferiorly with the infratemporal fossa
inferior orbital fissure
what nerve runs their the floor of the inferior orbital fissure and a component of it passes into the infraorbital sulcus and emerges onto the face at the infraorbital foramen
maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve
what bones protect the orbit laterally?
frontal and zygomatic bones
condition where you lose sympathetic input to the head and can’t keep eyelids open, partial ptosis.
horner’s syndrome
what muscle encircles the eye, and component of the muscle within the eyelids act to close the eye
orbicularis oculi
__ serve a protective function and within them are the MEIBOMIAN glands which secrete an oily substance which lubricates the lid margins and prevents tears from overflowing onto the face.
tarsal plates
__ is a thin, translucent mucous membrane that lines the inner surface of the eyelids and which is reflected at the fornices to cover the anterior surface of the eye.
conjunctiva
__ is firmly attached to the underlying tarsal plates and it is highly vascular
palpebral conjunctiva
what is loosely attached to the sclera, avascular and translucent. over the corena, this thing consists only of a layer of epithelium
ocular conjunctiva
__ a thin membrane that arises from the orbital periosteum along the entire rim of the orbit
orbital septum
__ a thin fibrous capsule that covers the external surface of the eye fro the optic nerve posteriorly to near to corneal-scleral junction anteriorly
bulbar fascia (tenon’s capsule)
_ is pierved by the tendons of the extraocular muscles and is reflected backwards around each muscle to provide a sheath.
bulbar fascia
__ ligaments help anchor the tarsal plates within the orbit
medial and lateral palpebral ligaments
what muscles attached to the superior tarsal plate
levator palpebrae superioris
what ganglion is located in the orbit?
ciliary ganglion
what is located between the iris and suspensory ligaments
posterior chamber
secretes aqueous humor
ciliary processes of ciliary body
what is in direct line with lens, most accurate vision
fovea centralis
part of the iris under parasympathetic control, constricts and cause pupil to gets smaller
sphincter pupillae
part of the iris under sympathetic control
dilator pupillae
external fibrous tunic contains __
cornea and sclear
middle vascular tunic contains __
choroids, ciliary body and iris
internal nervous tunic contains __
retina
a biconvex disc approximately 1 cm in diameter, is enclosed in a capsula and is attached to the ciliary body by way of suspensory ligaments
lens
