ORBIT
ORBIT
ORBIT
Protects eyeballs
Shape and Disposition
Each orbit resembles 4
sided pyramids
Apex: Post.end of the
orbit
Base: Orbital opening
on the face
4 Walls: Roof, Floor,Lat.

(Two medial wall are parallel
and lateral walls make on
right angle)

CONTENTS OF THE ORBIT
- Pyramidal cavities.
- Socket for voluntary movement of eyeballs
- Contents of orbits are
- Eye balls
- Fascia: Orbital and Bulbar
- Muscles: Extraocular
- Vessels: Opthalmic artery,Sup. Inf. Opthamlic
veins
L/N
- Nerves: II,III,IV & VI Cranial nerves, branches of
opthalmic nerve and sympathetic nerves
- Lacrimal glands
- Orbital fats
ORBITAL AND BULBAR FASCIA
Orbital Fascia or
Periorbita
Involuntary muscles
1) Sup. tarsal muscles: deeper portion of levator
palpabrae: elavates upper eye lids
2) Inferior tarsal muscles: depresses the lower eye
lids
3) Orbitalis bridges of the inf. Orbital fissure
Voluntary muscle’s origin
Insertion
Nerve supply
# Superior oblique is supplied by trochlear
nerve. (SO4)
# Lateral rectus is supplied by Abducent
nerve. (LR6)
# Remaining 5 extraocular muscles sup,inf
and medial recti,inf. oblique and levator
palpabrae superioris are supplied by
occulomotor nerve( III nerve)
Actions of the individual muscles
Single or pure movements are produced by
combined actions of muscles eg.
Upward rotation or Elevation SR and IO
MR, SR and IR
Medial rotation or adduction
LR, SO and I0
Lateral rotation or abduction
Intortion
SO and SR
Extortion IO and IR
Combined movement of eyes
Normally, movements of the two eyes are
harminously coordinated and it is called
conjugate ocular movement.
Dissociation movements of the two eyes are called
dysjunctive movement.
Ant. Post movement of eyeballs are abnormal.
Vessels of the Orbit
1) Optic nerve.
2) Occulomotor nerve with ciliary ganglion.
3) Trochlear
4) Br. Of Opthalmic and maxillary division of
Trigeminal nerve.
5) Abducent
6) Sympathetic nerves.
