2 movable shades that protect the eye from injury, strong light, and dust
EYELIDS
Elliptical open space between the eyelids, when closed the lid margins approximate completely. When open, the upper lid covers part of the iris.
PALPEBRAL FISSURE
At the lower lid margin, the border between the cornea and sclera.
LIMBUS
Corner of the eye, the angle where the lids meet.
MEDIAL AND LATERAL CANTHUS
At inner canthus, small fleshy mass containing sebaceous gland.
CARUNCLE
Within upper lid, strips of connective tissue that give its shape.
TARSAL PLATES
The tarsal plates, contain these which are modified sebaceous glands that secrete an oily lubricating material onto the lids. This stops tears from overflowing and helps to form an airtight seal when the lids are closed.
MEIBOMIAN GLANDS
Lines the llid and is clear with many small BV. Forms a deep recess and then folds back over the eye.
PALPEBRAL CONJUNCTIVA
Overlays the eyeball, with the white sclera showing through.
BULBAR CONJUNCTIVA
Covers and protects the iris and pupil.
CORNEA
Provides constant irrigantion to keep the conjunctiva and cornea moist and lubricated.
LACRIMAL APPARATUS
Upper outer corner of the eye and secretes tears.
LACRIMAL GLAND
Assumption
Alexander Hamilton's plan to web creditors to the nation government, by having the national government pay for the states’ debts. In return to southern votes to pass the bill, Hamilton swung northern votes to move the capitol to the Potomac.
Each muscle is coordinated or yoked with one in the other eye. This ensures that when the 2 eyes move their axes always remain parallel.
CONJUGATE MOVEMENT
The eye is a sphere composed of 3 concentric coats name them
SCLERA, CHOROID, RETINA
Outer fibrous coat
SCLERA
Middle vascular coat
CHOROID
Inner Nervous coat
RETINA
Tough, protective, white covering. Its continuous anteriorly with the smooth, transparent cornea, which covers the iris and pupil.
SCLERA
Very sensitive to touch, contact a wisp of cotton stimulates a blink with both eyes called
CORNEA
CORNEAL REFLEX
In middle layer, has dark pigmentation to prevent light from reflecting internally and is heavily vascularized to deliver blood to the retina. Anteriorly it is continuous with ciliary body(control thickness of the lens) and iris.
CHOROID
Round and regular, size is determined by a balance of para. and symp. chains of ANS. Para. stimulation through CN III caues constriciton. Symp stimulation dilates the pupil and elevates the eyelid. It also reacts to the amount of ambient light
PUPIL
Biconvex disc located posterior to the pupil. Serves as a refracting medium, keeping viewed objects in continual focus on the retina. Thickness is controlled by ciliary body, it bulges for focusing on near objects and flattens for far objects.
LENS
In posterior chamber contains this which is clear, watery, that is produced by the ciliary body. It serves to deliver nutrients to the surrounding tissues and to drain metabolic wastes.
AQUEOUS HUMOR
Visual receptive layer in which light waves are changed into nerve impulses. Surrounds the soft gelatinous vitreous humor.
RETINA
Area in which fibers from the retina converage to form the optic disc.
OPTIC DISK
Include a paired artery and vein extending to each quadrant.
RETINAL VESSELS
Area of the sharpest and keenest vision.
FOVEA CENTRALIS
Adaptation of the eye for near vision. Increase the curvature of the lends through movement of ciliary muscles.
ACCOMMODATION
Glasslike quality decreases the lens ability to change shape to accommodate for near vision
PRESBYOPIA
Perception of 2 images of a single object
DIPLOPIA
Protruding eyes
EXOPHTHALAMOS
Suken eyes
ENOPHTHALMOS
Pupils of 2 different sizes
ANISOCORIA
squint or cross-eyed
STRABISMUS
