Cornea
These are the structures that make up the fibrous tunic.
+100 BONUS POINTS: Where do they meet?
What are the cornea and sclera?
BONUS: Meet at the limbus.This structure is considered the weakest part of the fibrous tunic.
What is the laminate cribrosa?
What are non-pigmented ciliary epithelium of the pars plicata?
These are the three structures that are part of the uveal tract.
The corneal epithelium is covered by this structure, while the corneal endothelium is bathed by this substance.
What is the tear film and aqueous humor?
Chronic IOP elevation in glaucoma may lead to optic nerve cupping and occurs by this mechanism, per SD slides.
What is connective tissue remodeling?
Does the conventional pathway involving the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm depend on pressure to drive aqueous outflow?
Yes!
This major artery is responsible for 2/3 of blood supply to the orbit.
What is the ophthalmic artery?
Zonula occludens are located in this layer of the cornea.
What is the corneal epithelium?
BONUS: What is the corneal endothelium?
These are the three structures that meet at the corneoscleral junction.
What is the trabecular meshwork, canal of Schlemm, and scleral spur?
This is the aqueous outflow pathway where aqueous enters the iris at the iris root and through the ciliary body into the supraciliary space.
What is the uveoscleral (non-conventional) pathway?
CRA supplies which portion of the retina and optic nerve?
What is the inner retina and inner aspects of the optic nerve?
In the corneal stroma, these collagen fiber types are responsible for regulated the fibril size of collagen I fibers.
What are collagen types III and V?
The presence of these in the iris epithelia contribute to the formation of the blood-aqueous barrier.
What are tight junctions?
The retina is avascular between these two retinal layers.
What is the outer plexiform layer (OPL) and RPE?
Schwalbe’s Line is the most anterior structure seen during gonio, and is a landmark for this.
What is the end of the Descemet’s membrane?
*Descemet’s is the basement membrane for the corneal endothelium.
This is the term for what is created by the lens and iris to prevent backflow of aqueous.
What is a one-way valve?
Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) is often secondary to this condition.
What is giant cell arteritis?
