Tear movement = Lacrimal gland → gravity/ blinking → lacrimal duct → lacrimal sac → nasolacrimal duct EYELIDS 1. protects it from injury & excessive light 2. Keep cornea moist by spreading lacrimal fluid when blinking 3. Interior = palpebral conjuctiva 4. Upper & lower lids (dense band of CT) → provide support for the tissue 5. Tarsal glands: Produce lipid secretion to keep eyelids from sticking 6. Eyelashes → sensing approaching dangers & lubricated by ciliary glands 7. Orbicularis Oculi a. Closes eyelids & wrinkles forehead b. Palpebral part “gently” closes lids c. Orbital part “tightly” closes lids 8. Levator Palpebrae superiors → Elevates upper eyelid (innervated by CN III) VISION 1. Refraction of light & accommodation a. Bending of light rays & alter eye to focus on different objects via changing shape & length of lens 2. Close-up vision → Lens becomes more convex (short & thick) 3. Distant → Lens becomes less convex (long & thin) 4. Convergence → maintain binocular vision & track objects moving towards eyes.
