Question
Answer
eyelids   palpebrae  
🗑
space between the two eyelids   palpebrae fissure  
🗑
angles where eyelids join   canthi (corners)  
🗑
canthus beside nose (or medial canthus)   caruncle "mound of tissue" - contain sweat and sebaceous glands  
🗑
conjunctiva (2 kinds)   palpebral conjunctiva - covers inner surface of eyelids 2. bulbar conjunctiva - covers anterior white surface of the eye  
🗑
where do the palpebrae & bulbar conjunctiva meet?   called the superior (upper eyelid) and infereior (lower eyelid) conjunctival fornices  
🗑
conjunctivits - pinkeye - inflammation    
🗑
lacrimal apparatus   lacrimal gland above eye - washes eye toward nose - parasympathetic fibers from FACIAL NERVE VII - lucky 7 - you'll cry when you hit 7!!  
🗑
how many tears per day?   1 mL- tears are water, salts, mucus, & lysozyme (kills bacteria)  
🗑
where do tears go?   most evaporate; rest collected in lacrimal canalicul (canals) & go through lacrimal sac to nasolacrimal duct  
🗑
extrinsic muscles - 6 in all   superior, inferior, medial and lateral RECTUS (straight) muscles - controled by Oculomotor nerve III  
🗑
superior muscles   it's so superior - it needs a pulley - the trochlear nerve controls Cranial nerve IV -  
🗑
lateral rectus muscle   innervated by abducent nerve (VI)  
🗑
three tunics of eye   fibrous tunic (sclera, cornea) the vascular tunic (choroid, ciliary body and iris and 3. nervous tunic - retina  
🗑
sclera   dense collagenous connective tissue with elastic fibers  
🗑
what is connected to the sclera?   the bulbar conjunctiva is loosely connected to the sclera  
🗑
cornea IMPORTANT   avascular - transparent structure - is a lens that bends light - connective tissue - few large collagen fibers and low water content  
🗑
vascular tunic   short ciliar arteries - pierce the sclera in a cirlce around the optic nerve  
🗑
ophthalmic artery   branc of internal carotid artery  
🗑
what supplies blood to the sclera?   the choroid (means membrane) eye is surround by thin layer of blood vessels  
🗑
ciliary body is continous with   choroid  
🗑
iris is attached to   ciliary body  
🗑
ciliary body consists of   outer ciliary ring - inner group of ciliary processes  
🗑
how are the ciliary processes attached to the lens   by suspensory ligaments  
🗑
ciliary muscles   change shape of lens to focus  
🗑
iris consists of two muscle groups   a circular group called the sphincter pupillae (innervated by oculomotor nerve III) - and a radial group called the dilator pupillae (radiator-dilator)  
🗑
retina   pigmented retina - melanin - black background (does not diffuse light)  
🗑
sensory retina 3 layers   3 layers of neurons: photoreceptor; bipolar and ganglionic  
🗑
plexiform layers   the three layers synapse with each other  
🗑
rods   rhodopsin - noncolor, low light - over most of retina - but not fovea centralis  
🗑
cone   iodopsin (eye drops of color)- color vision; visual acuity - numerous in fovea  
🗑
fovea centralis   35,000 cones and no rods  
🗑
120 million rods   10-20 times more plentiful  
🗑
what is the general area where light is focused?   macula lutea  
🗑
what is the small area where light is focused?   fovea centralis  
🗑
what is the white spot in the eye?   the optic disk - no photoreceptor cells- blind spot  
🗑
three chambers of the eye   anterior, posterior (with aqueous ) and vitreous with gell  
🗑
aqueous humor is   1. a blood filtrate that is retunred to circulation via the CANAL OF SCHLEMM (also called the scleral venous sinus)  
🗑
what happens if canal of schlemm is blocked?   glaucoma - abnormal increas in introcular pressure  
🗑
lens is   BICONVEX - with greatest convexity in the back (posterior) side -  
🗑
how does eye see?   light striking retina is converted into action potentials that are relayed to the brain  
🗑
convex lens focuses light   light tends to converge on a point  
🗑
reflection   light rays bounce off an object that is not transparrent  
🗑
emmetropia   "measure" lens normal focus  
🗑
far point of vision   point at which lens does not have to thicken to focusing  
🗑
what happens when object is brought closer than 20 feet to the eye (3 things)   1. accommodation - objjects are brought closer to eye, so lens is made thicker to focus 2. pupil constriction - depth of focus 3. convergence-both eyes watch moving object  
🗑
