VISION Poudre High School By: Ben Kirk
Accessory Structures of the Eye • Eyelids (Palpebrae): Windshield wipers for the eyes. • Lubricate and remove debri • Lacrimal Caruncle: Produces night boogers. • Secreted so that the eyelids don’t stick together.
Accessory Structures of the Eye • Conjunctiva: Epithelial layer continuous with the inner layer of the eye lid
Accessory Structures of the Eye • Lacrimal Apparatus: production, distribution, and removal of tears • Lacrimal Gland: Superior and lateral to the eye • Releases tears using tear duct • Lacrimal Canals: Tube by which tears are removed from the eye and enter the Lacrimal Sac
Accessory Structures of the Eye • Lacrimal Apparatus: • Nasolacrimal Duct: Cavity that connects lacrimal sacs to the nasal cavity • Swallow or blow out all lacrimal secretions
Eye Diseases, injuries, etc… • Sty: Infection of sebaceous glands of eyelashes (very painful) • Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye): Damage to and irritation of the conjunctivitis
Anatomy of the Eye • General Facts: • Approximately 1 inch in diameter • Approximately 8 g in weight
Eye Anatomy • Posterior/Vitreous Chamber: • Filled with vitreous humor (gel like consistency) • Used to maintain shape of the eye and hold retina in place
Eye Anatomy • Anterior Chamber: • Separated from posterior chamber by iris and cilliary bodies • Filled with Aqueous Humor (water like consistency) • Function: circulation of nutrients and wastes as well as eyeball structure/shape
Layers of the Eye • Fibrous Tunic: Tough outer layer for protection and muscle attachment • Sclera: White of the eye • Connective tissue where all extrinsic muscles attach. • Cornea: Continuous with sclera • Fibers are arranged to allow light passage (Cornea appears clear) • No blood vessels, very hard to repair
Layers of the Eye • Vascular Tunic: Middle Layer • Iris: Colored region of the eye • Muscles that regulate pupil size • Pupil: Opening in the center of the iris • Ciliary Body: Mass of muscle connected to the lens to change its shape • Choroid: Layer of blood vessels that separates the fibrous and neural tunics posterior to the ciliary bodies.
Layers of the Eye • Neural Tunic: The Retina • Photoreceptors: Rods and Cones • Rods: Light detection (night vision) • Cones: Color Detection • Fovea: Focal point of all images • Highest concentration of cones • Optic Disk: Where optic nerve and blood vessels leave the vitreous chamber • Blind Spot
The Lens: • Focuses image on retina • Physically changes shape
Lens Abnormalities • Cataracts: Lens becomes cloudy • Glaucoma: Increased fluid pressure inside the eye, pinching the optic nerve • Myopia: Nearsightedness • Eyeball is too deep • Hyperopia: Farsightedness • Eyeball is too shallow
