Term
What type of bones are formed in cartilage and then ossified?
Definition
Endochondral
Term
What type of embryological cells form the bony orbit?
Definition
Mesenchyme surrounding the optic vesicle[image]
Term
In what type of bone formation are bones ossified from connective tissue?
Definition
membranous ossification
Term
From what cells is the orbital wall derived from?
Definition
Cranial neural crest cells
Term
What two processes fuse together to form the medial, inferior, and lateral orbital walls?
Definition
The lateral nasal process and the maxillary process.
Term
What are the functions of the eyelid?
Definition
Protect
Lubricate
Maintain the ocular surface
Term
What forms the orbital roof?
Definition
The capsule of the forebrain
Term
What is the first bone to develop and when?
Definition
The maxillary bone at 6 weeks gestation
Term
Does the maxillary bone form from endochondral or mebranous ossification?
Definition
Membranous, bones are ossified from connective tissue.
Term
Where do secondary ossification centers of the maxillary bone develop?
Definition
The adjacent orbitonasal and premaxillary region.
Term
Through what process does the sphenoid bone develop?
Definition
Endochondral and intramembranous ossification
Term
When do the lesser wing of the sphenoid and the optic canal begin as cartilaginous structures?
Definition
7 weeks
Term
When does the greater wing of the sphenoid bone begin to ossify after being preformed in cartilage?
Definition
10 weeks
Term
When does the optic strut ossify?
Definition
11 weeks
Term
What bone separates the optic canal from the superior orbital fissure?
Definition
The optic strut
Term
When do the greater and lesser wings of sphenoid join together?
Definition
16 weeks
Term
What is the only part of the orbital wall that is not completely ossified at birth?
Definition
The orbital apex
Term
What bones make up the orbit?
Definition
Sphenoid
Frontal
Ethmoid
Maxillary
Zygomatic
Palatine
Lacrimal
Term
What is the strongest portion of the orbital rim?
Definition
the lateral wall
Term
What two bones make up the lateral orbital rim?
Definition
The zygomatic bone and the zygomatic process of the frontal bone.
Term
What three structures connect to the tubercle of the zygomatic bone?
Definition
1. The lateral canthal ligament
2. The lateral rectus muscle check ligament
3. The aponeurosis of the levator palpaebrae superioris muscle
Term
What is the depression in the floor of the orbit?
Definition
A fossa for the origin of the inferior oblique muscle.
Term
From what structure does the orbital floor separate the eye?
Definition
Maxillary sinus
Term
What provides support for the orbital floor?
Definition
The maxillary ethmoid buttress and the infraorbital sulcus/canal
Term
Which wall of the orbit is the most easily deformed?
Definition
orbital wall
Term
What is the lamina papyracea/
Definition
The lateral surface of the labyrinth of the ethmoid bone is formed of a thin, smooth, oblong plate, the lamina papyracea (or orbital lamina), which covers in the middle and posterior ethmoidal cells and forms a large part of the medial wall of the orbit.
Term
What provides support for the orbital floor?
Definition
The maxillary ethmoid buttress and the infraorbitalsulcus/canal.
Term
What are the fracture points of a tripod fracture?
Definition
The zygomaticomaxillary suture
The frontozygomatic suture
The zygomatic arch
Term
When a tripod fracture occurs, which way does the complex rotate upon contraction of the muscle across the fracture?
Definition
medially and inferiorly
Term
Why can't a patient with a tripod fracture open his mouth?
Definition
Because the coronoid process of the mandible contracts the rotated zygomatic arch.
Term
What are three patient symptoms of a tripod fracture?
Definition
1. He can't open his mouth.
2. The cheek looks depressed.
3. muscle spasm
Term
What is bupthalmos?
Definition
Buphthalmos is a congenital condition of the eye. An abnormally narrow angle between the cornea and iris blocks the outflow of aqueous humor, which leads to an increased intraocular pressure and a characteristic bulging enlargement of the eyeball. Other clinical signs include excessive tearing and cupping of the optic disk, which may the first sign to develop.
Term
How much difference between the eyes as measured in exopthalmometry is significant?
Definition
A difference of two or more.
Term
What is the principle elevator of the eyebrow?
Definition
The frontalis muscle.
Term
What three muscles depress the eyebrow?
Definition
1. Corrugator supercili
2. Procerus
3. Orbicularis
Term
What does the superior eyelid develop from?
Definition
A mesenchymal condensation located above the optic cup called the frontonasal (paranasal) process.
Term
What does the inferior eyelid develop from?
Definition
A mesenchymal condensation located below the optic cup called maxillary (visceral) process.
Term
Where does the superior lid margin rest in adults?
Definition
2 mm below the superior canthus
Term
Where does the inferior lid margin rest in adults?
Definition
On the inferior canthus.
Term
What makes up the anterior lamellae of the eyelid?
Definition
skin, pretarsal orbicularis oculi, gland of Zeiss and gland of Moll
Term
What makes up the posterior lamella?
Definition
tarsal plate, conjunctiva, associated glands
Term
What type of glands are the Glands of Zeiss?
Definition
modified sebaceous glands
Term
What types of glands are the glands of Moll?
Definition
eccrine or modified sweat glands that secrete their contents along the follicle shaft p. 161 Remington
Term
What is the muscle of Riolan and where is it located?
Definition
It runs horizontally between the pretarsal orbicularis muscle and the tarsal plate in the upper and lower eyelid

Remington p. 158
Term
What is the present day function of the human crstyalline lens?
Definition

Definition
vitamin A
Term
What protein is the chromophore coupled to?
