Ocular A& P #8 Final
Terms- Covering Visual Fields and Nervous System
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Lateral Geniculate Body | The processing center for visual information in the mid-brain and the visual processing center for V1. |
Optic Track | The axons of the ganglion cells. It runs from chiasma to lateral geniculate. |
Optic Radiations | In the temporal lobe and runs from the lateral geniculate body (LGB) to the occipital lobe. |
Optic Nerve | The axons of the ganglion cells and runs from the globe to the chiasma. |
Optic Chiasma | The axons of the ganglion cells, the fibers cross next to the Pituitary, and the visual field (VF) defect will be on both temporal areas. |
Nerve Fiber Layer | The Axons of the ganglion cells and runs in an arcuate pattern |
Efferent Fibers | Runs from the CNS to the organ (eye) |
Afferent Fibers | Runs from the organ (eye) to the CNS |
Pupillomotor Fibers | Separates the fibers in the optic nerve and leaves the optic track before the lat geniculate. |
Meyers Loop | In the temporal lobe. |
Ipsilateral | Same side |
Contralateral | Opposite side |
Congruous | VF defect is exactly the same for both VF and is an occipital lobe defect |
Incongruous | VF defects is not exactly the same OU (both eyes) VF and is located in the temporal lobe. |
Physiological Blind Spot | 15 degrees temporal to the central spot visual field. |
Ceco-Central Scotoma | A central and paracentral VF defect and is an early VF defect in glaucoma. |
Trigeminal Nerve | The sensory (V C.N.) to the eye, upper face, and tip of nose. |
Facial Nerve | The motor nerve to the orbicularis. (VII C.N.) |
Oculomotor Nerve | The nerve (III C.N.) to the medial, superior, and inferior rectus muscles and the levator palpebrae muscle. Efferent pupillomotor fibers are carried in the nerve. |
Abducens Nerve | A slow light, accommodation, consensual reflex (VI C.N.) |
Trochlear Nerve | The nerve to the superior oblique muscles (IV C.N.) |
Sympathetic Innervation | The superior palpebral M. (Meuller) |
Ophthalmic Nerve | Sensory to the the eye, upper face, and tip of nose. (V1) |
Head Tilt Test | Called the Bielchowski, it tests for S.O palsy. |
Parasympathetic N.S. | Efferent Pupillomotor fibers carried in the nerve |
Pupillomotor Fibers | Afferent fibers that leave the optic track before the LGB. |
Anisocoria | Difference in pupil size |
Lagophthalmos | Inability to close lid |
Neurotrophic Cornea | Loss of sensation to the cornea |
