Cards (23)

  • Periosteum
    The fibrous membrane covering the outer surface of bones
  • Orbital Fascia

    • The periosteum of the bones that form the walls of the orbit
  • Orbicularis oculi

    Muscle that controls the eyelids
  • Levator palpebrae superioris
    Muscle that controls the eyelids
  • Fibrous Coat

    Made up of a posterior opaque part, the sclera, and an anterior transparent part the cornea
  • Optic nerve

    Enters the orbit from the middle cranial fossa by passing through the optic canal
  • Ophthalmic artery

    Accompanies the optic nerve
  • Medial and Lateral Check Ligaments
    Triangular ligaments that connect the medial and lateral walls of the orbit
  • Sphincter Pupillae

    Muscle that constricts the pupil in the presence of bright light and during accommodation
  • Lacrimal Nucleus

    Nucleus of the facial nerve that provides the parasympathetic secretomotor nerve supply
  • Frontal Bone
    Bone that forms the orbital region of the eye
  • Central Artery of the Retina

    Small branch that pierces the meningeal sheaths of the optic nerve to gain entrance to the nerve
  • Consensual light reflex

    Tested by shining the light in one eye and noting the contraction of the pupil in the opposite eye
  • Paranasal Sinuses
    Cavities found in the interior of the maxilla, frontal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones
  • Larynx
    Organ that provides a protective sphincter at the inlet of the air passages and is also responsible for voice production
  • Thyrohyoid Membrane

    Connects the upper margin of the thyroid cartilage to the hyoid bone
  • Extrinsic Muscles

    Muscles that move the larynx up and down during swallowing
  • Infundibulum
    Anterior end of the hiatus that leads into a funnel-shaped channel, continuous with the frontal sinus
  • Pituitary Gland

    Small, oval structure attached to the undersurface of the brain by the infundibulum, protected by its location in the sella turcia of the sphenoid bone
  • Parathyroid hormone (PTH)

    Produced by the chief cells in the parathyroid glands, stimulates osteoclastic activity in bones, mobilizing bone calcium and increasing calcium levels in the blood
  • Fibroelastic Tube

    Kept patent by the presence of U-shaped cartilaginous bar (rings) of hyaline cartilage embedded in its wall
  • Ophthalmic division (V1)

    Branch of the trigeminal nerve that helps you feel sensations in your face
  • Maxillary division (V2)

    Branch of the trigeminal nerve that helps you feel sensations in your face
