What does the petrous portion of the temporal bone hold? |
Middle and inner ear. |
|
Explain how a CN6 Palsy with papilledema can occur? |
CN 6 runs over the ridge of the petrous portion and is more susceptible to increased ICP. |
|
What are the signs and symptoms of CN6 Palsy? |
Horizontal diplopia and papilledema. |
|
The optic foramen/optic canal/optic nerve runs through this bone? |
Lesser wing of sphenoid |
|
What passes through the Foramen Rotundum? |
Maxillary (V2 of CN5) |
|
What passes through the Foramen Ovale? |
Mandibular (V3 of CN5) |
|
What passes through the foramen spinosum? |
Middle meningeal artery. |
|
What passes through the Superior Orbital Fissure? |
CN3, 4 and 6. V1 of CN5 (ophthalmic) |
|
What can happen with the ethmoid air cells? |
Infection in sinus can get through here to eye. |
|
What nerve can get affected in a blow out fracture? |
Infraorbital nerve in cheek. |
|
What is the thinnest bone in the medial wall of the orbit? |
Ethmoid bone (lamina papyracea) |
|
What is the horizontal dimension of the orbital margin? |
4cm |
|
What is the vertical dimension for the orbital margin? |
3.5cm |
|
How deep is the orbital margin? |
4.5cm |
|
What goes through the optic canal AND A.O.Z. |
Optic nerve and ophthalmic nerve |
|
What goes through the superior orbital fissure ABOVE the AOZ |
Lacrimal, frontal and trochlear nerves. Superior ophthalmic vein. |
|
What goes through the superior orbital fissure AND AOZ
|
CN3, nasocicilary (V1) and CN6 (abducens) |
|
What goes through inferior orbital fissure BELOW AOZ |
infraorbital nerve (V2), infraorbital artery and inferior ophthalmic vein. |
|
What is the function of sinuses? |
Lighten the skull and add resonance to the voice. |
|
What are the signs of orbital cellulitis? |
Double vision, infects EOMS, proptosis. Looks like swollen red eyelid. Infection gets in orbit, has easy access to brain. |
|
What is the periorbita? |
Outermost tissue that covers bones. Thickens to form AOZ. Carries blood supply to bones. |
|
What is the orbital septum continuous with? |
Rim of orbit and goes to tarsal plate. It's circular. |
|
What are two functions of the orbital septum? |
Holds fat in place and barrier against infection. |
|
What is the function of the muscle pulleys and check ligaments? |
Stabilizes muscles and prevent overreaction (especially MR) |
|
What is found inferiorly that supports the globe? |
Suspensory ligaments of Lockwood. |
|
What is a barrier to infection of the globe? |
Tenon's capsule. |
|
What is the sarcolemma? |
Plasma membrane that surrounds each of the muscle fibres and passes action potentials along the cell to stimulate muscles. |
|
Is myosin thicc or thin? |
dum thiccccc |
|
Actin is thicc or thin? |
thin |
|
Where do troponin and tropomyosin lie? |
within grooves of actin |
|
What is the A band? |
Myosin fibre with some actin |
|
What is the H zone? |
Central zone, only contains myosin |
|
What is the I band? |
Light, made of actin only |
|
What is the Z line? |
bisects I band attachment for actin |
|
What are two characteristics of EOMs? |
Denser blood supply and densely innervated. This allows for finer motor control, high velocity of movement accuracy. |
|
What is the global layer of EOM responsible for? |
Movement |
|
What is the orbital layer of EOM responsible for? |
Stabilizes and acts as a muscle pulley. |
|
Which two muscles also attach to the dural sheath of the optic nerve? |
MR and SR |
|
What is the order of the muscles from inner to outer on the spiral of tillaux? |
MILS |
|
What is the origin, insertion, pathway and innervation for MR |
O: OAZ/optic nerve sheath I: 5.5mm from limbus Path: Parallel medial wall-->CT pulley then follows globe. Nerve: CN 3 (inferior division) |
|
O, I, Path, Nerve for LR |
O: AOZ/greater wing of sphenoid. I: 6.9mm from limbus Path: Lateral wall then CT pulley, then follows globe. Nerve: CN 6 (Abducens) |
|
O, I, Path, Nerve for SR: |
O: AOZ/optic nerve sheath I: 7.7mm from limbus Path: Beneath levator, they share a sheath. Parallels roof then CT Pulley then follows globe. Nerve: CN3 (superior) |
|
O, I, Path, Nerve for IR: |
O: AOZ I: 6.5mm from limbus Path: IR sheath-->Inferior tarsal plate. Nerve: CN3 (inferior) |
|
O, I, Path, Nerve for SO: |
O: Anatomical: Lesser wing of sphenoid Effective: trochlea I: Super posterior lateral position on globe. Path: Passes anterior to trochlea, poster to insertion. **Lies inferior to SR** Nerve: CN 4 |
|
O, I, Path, Neve for IO: |
O: Medial orbital floor (maxillary) I: Posterior lateral inferior globe Path: Medial inferior orbit to lateral globe. Nerve: CN 3 (inferior) |
|
What is the function of the CT pulleys?
|
Act as functional origin of the muscles. |
|
What are three functions of CT pulleys? |
May changes the function of the rectus muscles in tertiary gaze. Refine coordination of muscle movements Prevents sideslip of the rectus muscles when the eye moves to secondary gaze. |
