Question
Answer
Superior tarsus muscle   Smooth muscle under sympathetic innervations with sympathetic tone  
🗑
What prevents the eyelids from sticking together?   Tarsal glands secrete an oil that will distribute over surface  
🗑
What happens when tarsal glands are obstructed?   Chalazion cyst  
🗑
Stye   Inflammation of sebaceous gland associated with the follicle of an eyelash and will be located superficial to tarsal plate  
🗑
Lactimal punctum, papilla and lake   Lacrimal punctum sit on lacrimal papilla. Tears accumulate in lacrimal lake. Papillary action pulls the tears into the little puncta  
🗑
Tear glands   Located in upper lateral corner. Little canaliculi attached to punctum and lacrimal sac then brings the tears down. Tears go through nasolacrimal duct  
🗑
Levator palpabrae superioris   Pulls the upper eyelid  
🗑
Orbital fat   Metabolically different from fat in superficial fascia. After all of superficial fascia is digested, orbit fat will be digested and eyes will sink in. Brain fat is last to be digested.  
🗑
Tenon's capsule   Fascial sheath around eyeball. Extensions of fascia which prevent the eyeball from moving excessively laterally or medially  
🗑
Common tendinous ring contents   Optic nerve, central artery of retina, oculomotor nerve, abducent nerve and nasociliary nerve  
🗑
Nasocilliary nerve   Branch of ophthalmic. Makes hair like attachments onto back of eyeball  
🗑
Two major blood supplies to orbit   Branch of external carotid artery and infraorbital artery  
🗑
Ophthalmic artery   Runs with optic nerve to orbit and eyeball. If damaged can lead to blindness (Seen in diabetes)  
🗑
Cavernous sinus   For blood to drain backwards. Ophthalmic and Maxillary, trigeminal ganglion (Psuedounipolar sensory cells)  
🗑
Thrombosis of cavernous sinus   Leads to involvement with abducent nerve  
🗑
Frontal nerve   Division of ophthalmic, Brings innervation back in from front  
🗑
Supertrochlear nerve   Coming in the corner of orbit bringing innervation back  
🗑
Lacrimal nerve   Goes to lacrimal gland  
🗑
Ciliary nerves   Off of Nasociliary nerve. Carrying sensory nerves for pain of the eyeball and a little bit of proprioception  
🗑
Ciliary ganglion   Parasympathetic. Adjust size of pupil, adjust iris, post-synaptic parasympathetic fibers, responsible for constricting the pupil (Misosis)  
🗑
Widening of the eye: Sympathetic or Parasympathetic?   Sympathetic  
🗑
Mydriasis   Very low parasympathetic and high sympathetic  
🗑
Horner's syndrome   Mid ptosis (drooping) of eye lid, narrowing of pupil, acquired lesion of cervical sympathetic chain  
🗑
Superior rectus muscle   Elevates eye, adduct around vertical axis, intort eye (medially rotate)  
🗑
Inferior rectus muscle   Depresses eye, extort eye (laterally rotate), adducts  
🗑
Lateral rectus muscle   Abduct eye  
🗑
Medial rectus muscle   Adduct eye  
🗑
Superior oblique muscle   Depresses eye, medially rotates and abducts around vertical axis  
🗑
Inferior oblique muscle   Elevates eye, laterally rotates and abducts around vertical axis  
🗑
Gaze to the right   Medial rectus: Left eye. Lateral rectus: Right eye  
🗑
Gaze to the left   Medial rectus: Right eye. Lateral rectus: Left eye  
🗑
Name the one muscle that can look up when eye is all the way abducted   Superior rectus  
🗑
Name muscle when looking at nose that will elevate eye   Inferior oblique  
🗑
Name muscle when looking at nose that will depress eye   Superior oblique  
🗑
Third Nerve Palsy of Right eye symptoms   Levator palpabrae superioris has no innervation , middle rectus is not functioning (Can't look to the left)  
🗑
Left fourth Nerve Palsy   Trochlear nerve, superior oblique. It is deviated up when looking at nose.  
🗑
Sixth nerve Palsy   Abducent nerve, lateral rectus, eye is slight deviation towards the midline  
🗑
