    Orbital Region Contents

    • Eyeball: The main structure of the eye, responsible for light detection and vision.

      • Superior and inferior ophthalmic veins: Drain blood from the orbit.
      • No lymphatic vessels
    • Nerves:
      • Optic nerve (CN II): Transmits visual information from the eye to the brain.
      • Oculomotor nerve (CN III): Controls four extrinsic eye muscles (superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, inferior oblique), the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, and intrinsic eye muscles (ciliary muscle and sphincter pupillae).
      • Trochlear nerve (CN IV): Controls the superior oblique muscle.
      • Abducent nerve (CN VI): Controls the lateral rectus muscle.
      • Branches of the ophthalmic nerve (V1): Provides sensory innervation to the orbital structures.
      • Sympathetic nerves: Innervate the dilator pupillae muscle, blood vessels, sweat glands.
    • Ciliary ganglion: Parasympathetic ganglion that receives input from the oculomotor nerve and provides outflow to the ciliary muscle and sphincter pupillae.
    • Lacrimal gland: Produces tears, which lubricate and protect the eye.
    • Lacrimal sac: Collects tears from the lacrimal gland.
    • Orbital fat: Provides cushioning and insulation for the eye.
    • Orbital bone:

      Orbital Margins

      • Superior: Frontal bone.
      • Inferior: Maxillary bone and zygomatic bone.
      • Medial: Maxillary bone, lacrimal bone, ethmoid bone, sphenoid bone.
      • Lateral: Zygomatic bone, sphenoid bone.

      Orbital Walls

      • Roof: Frontal bone.
      • Floor: Maxillary bone, zygomatic bone, palatine bone.
      • Medial wall: Maxillary bone, lacrimal bone, ethmoid bone, sphenoid bone.
      • Lateral wall: Zygomatic bone, sphenoid bone.

      Openings

      • Superior orbital fissure: Allows passage of the oculomotor nerve (CN III), trochlear nerve (CN IV), abducens nerve (CN VI), ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve (V1), and sympathetic nerves.
      • Optic canal: Allows passage of the optic nerve (CN II) and ophthalmic artery.
      • Inferior orbital fissure: Allows passage of the maxillary branch of the trigeminal nerve (V2) and infraorbital artery.
      • Ethmoid foramina: Provide passage for the nasociliary nerve.
    • Nerve Supply to the Orbital Region:
      • Optic nerve (CN II): Vision.
      • Lacrimal nerve: Sensory innervation to the lacrimal gland and conjunctiva.
      • Frontal nerve: Sensory innervation to the forehead, scalp, upper eyelid, and conjunctiva.
      • Nasociliary nerve: Sensory innervation to the nasal cavity, cornea, iris, and ciliary body; also provides sympathetic fibers to the dilator pupillae muscle.
      • Trochlear nerve (CN IV): Controls the superior oblique muscle.
      • Oculomotor nerve (CN III): Controls four extrinsic eye muscles (superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, inferior oblique), the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, and intrinsic eye muscles (ciliary muscle and sphincter pupillae).
      • Abducent nerve (CN VI): Controls the lateral rectus muscle.
      • Sympathetic fibers: Innervate the dilator pupillae muscle, blood vessels, sweat glands.
      • Parasympathetic fibers: Innervate the ciliary muscle and sphincter pupillae muscle.
      • Maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve (V2): Provides sensory innervation to the cheek, upper teeth, and palate; its zygomatic branch provides sensory innervation to the lateral part of the cheek and the conjunctiva, and may carry sympathetic fibers to the face.
    • Arterial Supply of the Orbital Region:
      • Ophthalmic artery: The main artery supplying the orbit; branches include the central retinal artery, lacrimal artery, supraorbital artery, and posterior ethmoid artery. The ophthalmic artery arises from the internal carotid artery.
    • Venous Drainage of the Orbital Region:
      • Superior and inferior ophthalmic veins: Drain the orbit and join to form the cavernous sinus, which is a major venous space in the skull that receives blood from the brain, the orbits, the face, and the upper parts of the neck.
    • Lacrimal Apparatus:
      • Lacrimal gland: Produces tears.
      • Lacrimal sac: Collects tears and drains into the nasolacrimal duct.
    • Fascial Sheath of the Eyeball & Fat:
      • Orbital fascia: Separates the eyeball and its muscles from the orbital fat.
      • Orbital fat: Cushions and insulates the eye.
    • The Eyelids:
      • Structure:
        • Skin: The outer layer of the eyelid.
        • Subcutaneous tissue: Connective tissue beneath the skin.
        • Orbicularis oculi muscle: Closes the eyelid.
        • Levator palpebrae superioris muscle: Lifts the upper eyelid.
        • Tarsus: A dense connective tissue plate that provides structural support for the eyelid.
        • Conjunctiva: A transparent mucous membrane that lines the inner surface of the eyelid and the outer surface of the eye.
      • ** Movements:**
        • Blinking: A rapid closure of the eyelids that helps to lubricate the eye.
        • Squinting: A partial closure of the eyelids that protects the eye from bright light and reduces glare.
    • Extra-ocular Muscles (EOM):
      • 6 Muscles:
        • Recti (4): Superior rectus, Inferior rectus, Medial rectus, Lateral rectus.
        • Obliques (2): Superior oblique, Inferior oblique.

    Intrinsic Muscles of the Orbital Region

    • Sphincter pupillae: Constricts the pupil (parasympathetic via the oculomotor nerve, CN III).
    • Dilator pupillae: Dilates the pupil (sympathetic via the nasociliary nerve).
    • Ciliary muscle: Controls the shape of the lens in accommodation.
    • (parasympathetic via the 3rd cranial nerve, CN III)

    Structure of the Eye:

    • Fibrous tunic:
      • Sclera: The white outer layer of the eye.
      • Cornea: The transparent anterior portion of the eye; allows light to enter.
    • Vascular tunic (Uvea):
      • Choroid: A pigmented layer that nourishes the retina and absorbs scattered light.
      • Ciliary body: A ring of tissue that contains the ciliary muscles and the ciliary processes (which produce aqueous humor).
      • Iris: The colored part of the eye,
      • Pupil: The opening in the center of the iris.
    • Nervous tunic (Retina):
      • Photoreceptor cells: Rods (light sensitive) and cones (color sensitive) which detect light and convert it to neural signals.
      • Optic nerve: Carries visual information from the retina to the brain.
