ORBIT
• Orbital Roof
The orbital roof is formed
from both the orbital
plate of the frontal bone
and the lesser wing of
the sphenoid bone.The
fossa for the lacrimal
gland lying anterolaterally
ORBIT
• Medial Orbital Wall
I. frontal process of the
maxilla
2. lacrimal bone
3. orbital plate of the
ethmoid
4. lesser wing of the
sphenoid
ORBIT
• Orbital Floor
• 3 bones :
1. maxilla
2. palatine
3. orbital plate of the
zygomatic
• Lateral Orbital Wall
The thickest and strongest
of the orbital walls the
lateral wa ll of the orbit is
formed from
• 2 bones : the zygomatic
and the greater wing of
the sphenoid.
Cranial Nerves
• Six of the 12 cranial nerves (CN II - VII ) d
irect ly innervate the eye and periocular
tissues.
Ciliary Ganglion
3 root :
I. A long sensory root arises from the nasociliary branch ofCN
Vsensory fibers from the cornea, the iri s, and the ciliary body.
2. A short motor root arises from the infer ior division of CN Ill .
sup-
plies the inferior oblique muscle. The fibers of the motor root synapse
in the gan-
glion. and the postganglionic fibers car ry parasympathetic axons to
supply the iris
sphincter.
3. The sympathetic root comes from the plexus around the
internal carotid artery. innervates ocular blood
vessels and possibly the dilator muscle.
