Study Notes
The Orbit
- Orbits are symmetrical paired structures located on either side of the nasal cavity.
- They serve to enclose the eyeballs and associated structures, providing protection and support.
Bones Forming the Orbit
- Sphenoid: Contributes to the base of the skull and the orbit.
- Frontal: Forms the forehead and the superior part of the orbit.
- Zygomatic: Known as the cheekbone, it contributes to the lateral wall of the orbit.
- Ethmoid: Involved in the structure between the nasal cavity and the orbits.
- Lacrimal: Smallest bone in the orbit, playing a role in tear production and drainage.
- Maxilla: Forms the upper jaw and part of the floor of the orbit.
- Palatine: Contributes to the floor of the orbit and the hard palate.
Additional Notes
- The structure of the orbit is essential for the positioning and function of the eyes.
