Study Notes
The Orbit
- The orbit is a pyramidal cavity with its base anterior and its apex posteriorly.
Orbital Margins
- The orbital margin is formed: • Above by the frontal bone • Laterally by the processes of the frontal and zygomatic bones • Inferiorly by the zygomatic bone and the maxilla • Medially by the processes of the maxilla and the frontal bone

- Ethmoid Bone: present in the orbit
- Optic Canal: present in the orbit
- Superior Orbital Fissure: present in the orbit
- Sphenoid Bone: present in the orbit
- Inferior Orbital Fissure: present in the orbit
- Maxilla: forms part of the orbital margin
- Palatine Bone: present in the orbit
- Zygomatic Bone: forms part of the orbital margin
