Q

Describe the innervation of the extrinsic eye muscles

Study These Flashcards
A

Most are by the III cranial nerve

Sup oblique is by the IV, its the only one with a trochlea hence the name of the nerve

Lateral Rectus by the VI, its the main abducter hence the name of the nerve.

19
Q

RADSIN, mnemonic for extrinsic eye muscle actions

Study These Flashcards
A

Recti ADduct Superiors INtort

  • All the recti adduct (except obviousbly the lateral)
  • Superior Oblique Intorts & Inferior oblique extorts

The opposite is also true:
- Both obliques abduct

20
Q

What movements are performed by each extrinsic eye muscle

Study These Flashcards
A

MEdial REctus - Adducts
Lateral Rectus - Abducts

Sup Rectus - Elevates, adducts and intorts
Inf Rectus - Depresses, Adducts and extorts

Sup Oblique - depresses, Intorts, Abducts
Inf Oblique - Elevates, Extorts, Abducts

21
Q

Which extrinsic eye muscle is the only one not arise from the posterior aspect of the orbit

22
Q

What ligaments prevent your eye from over abducting/adducting?

Study These Flashcards
A

Medial & Lateral Palpebral Ligaments

23
Q

What does the suspensory ligament do?

Study These Flashcards
A

Supports and prevents downward displacement of the eye

24
Q

Describe the blood supply of the orbit and eye

Study These Flashcards
A

OPthalmic artery through Optic canal

Opthalmic veins which pass through Sup orbital fissure to reach the Cavernous sinus beyond

25
What and where is the lacrimal gland?
A gland that produces the watery constituent of tears Found in the upper lateral part of the orbit Excess tears eventually drain through the lacrimal duct on the medial side into the inf nasal meatus
26
Describe the innervation of the lacrimal gland
Parasympathetic innervation via Cr N VII
27
What are the ossicles?
Small bones of the middle ear Malleus Incus Stapes
28
What joint type connects the ossicles?
Synovial
29
What part of which ossicle contacts the tympanic membrane?
Handle of the malleus
30
Which ossicle contacts the oval window?
Stapes
31
What are the names and functions of muscles related to the ossicles?
Tensor Tympani - Dampens sound by tensing the malleus Stapedius - Stabilizes the stapes
32
With what areas does the middle ear communicate?
- Mastoid air sinuses | - Eustachian tube to nasopharynx
33
Where are the middle and inner ear found?
Within the petrous part of the temporal bone
34
Whats the distinction between the bony and membranous labyrinths of the inner ear?
The inner ear is made up of the bony labyrinth which contains perilymph The inner ear contains the membranous labyrinth which contains endolymph
35
What makes up the vestibular apparatus?
3 Semicircular canals (Ant, Post, Lateral) Utricle Saccule
36
Describe the orientation of the vestibular, cochlear and facial nerves within the Internal auditory foramen
Looking straight through the foramen it can be divided into 4 even segments: - Sup Ant containing 7th cranial nerve - Inf Ant containing the Cochlear nerve - Sup Post containing the sup vestibular nerve - Inf Post containing the inf vestibular nerve
37
Which nerve runs through the middle ear and how?
Facial nerves runs through the wall of the middle ear in the facial canal This is where it gives off the chorda tympani
38
what nerve is given off within the middle ear cavity, from where and what does it do?
Facial nerve gives off the Chorda Tympani It innervates the Ant 2/3rd of the tongue with taste sensation and secretomotor parasympathetic fibres to the submandibular/sublingual salivary glands
39
What does the sup oblique depress rather than elevate the eye (& vice versa for inf oblique)?
Because they connect to the posterior aspect of the eyeball itself
40
What are the terminal lymph nodes for most of the head and neck?
Deep Cervical Nodes They are a linked chain around the IJV within the carotid sheath
41
What happens to lymph in the neck after the deep cervical nodes?
The nodes join to form the Jugular lymphatic trunk on either side which then drain into the Right Lymphatic duct or Thoracic Duct
42
What are the main regional lymph nodes of the head?
- Parotid Nodes (Over/in Parotid) - Buccal Nodes (over buccinator) - Submental - Submandibular - Mastoid - Occipital
43
What are the main regional lymph nodes of the neck?
- Anterior Cervical chain (On ant jugular, draining ant neck) - Superficial Cervical (On EJV, drain junction between head, scalp and neck) - Retropharyngeal (Between pharynx & vertbra) - Laryngeal - Tracheal
