Contents of Orbit

The document summarizes the contents of the orbit, including the eyeball, extraocular muscles, vessels, nerves, lacrimal gland, and orbital fat. It describes the orbital and bulbar fascia surrounding these structures. The extraocular muscles consist of four rectus muscles and two oblique muscles that originate from various bones and insert into the sclera to enable eye movement. The document lists the involuntary orbitalis muscle and muscles related to eyelid movement.

Contents of orbit

1. Eye ball
2. Fascia – orbital & bulbar ie tenon’s fascia
3. Extra ocular muscles
4. Vessels ie ophthalmic artery superior &
inferior ophthalmic vein & lymphatic’s
5. Nerves optic oculomotor Trochlear abducent
ophthalmic maxillary
6. Lacrimal gland
7. Orbital fat
Fascia
1. Orbital fascia – it is loosely attached to inner
aspect of orbit it is just continuation of Dura
matter posteriorly & anteriorly with
periosteum of bone
there is gap over the inferior orbital fissure
it is filled by smooth muscle called as
orbitalis upper & lower
margins of orbital fascia sends a flap which is
attached to eyelids called as orbital septum
these septum holds the tendon of superior
oblique & forms lacrimal fascia which fills the
lacrimal groove
2. Bulbar fascia or tenon’s fascia - it is thin
loose membranous sheath which surrounding
eyeball which extends from sheath to
sclerocorneal junction or limbus
It is separated from sclera by a space called
as episcleral space
3. This fascia is pierced by tendons of extra
ocular muscles ciliary vessels & nerves
4. This sheath gives
a) Tubular sheath – which covers orbital muscle
b) Medial check ligament - extension from
medial rectus to the lacrimal bone
c) Lateral check ligament – extension from
lateral rectus to zygomatic ligament
5. Its lower part is thickedened to form
suspensory ligament of eye or of Lockwood
---------------------------------------------------------
------------Extra ocular muscles
There are voluntary & involuntary muscles
Voluntary muscles
a) Four recti
Superior
Inferior
Medial
Lateral
Origin - from common tendinous ring the ring is
attached to apex of orbit
Lateral rectus has additional origin from greater
wing sphenoid
Insertion
Insertion - the recti are inserted in to sclera a little
posterior to sclero-corneal junction the
approximate distance of insertion is 5,6,7,8
Medial rectus -5mm behind sclero-corneal junction
Inferior rectus - 6 mm behind sclero-corneal
junction
Lateral rectus -7 mm behind sclero-corneal
junction
Superior rectus - 8 mm behind sclero-corneal
junction
Two oblique
Muscle Origin Insertion
Superior Body of Posterior
sphenoid Superolateral
part of sclera
Inferior Orbital surface Posterior
of maxilla Inferolateral
part of sclera
Lavator Orbital surface In superior
palpebrae of lesser wing tarsus & skin of
superioris sphenoid upper eye lids
Involuntary muscles – three inn number
1. Superior tarsal - it is extension from deep
part of levator palpebrae superioris &
inserted in upper margin of superior tarsus –
it is part of eye lid relating to small section of
connective tissue along the edge of eyelid

2. Inferior tarsal muscle connects inferior tarsus


of lower eyelid to inferior rectus it helps in
depression of eye lids
3. Orbitalis - filles the inferior orbital fissure
Action
1. Superior rectus –elevation adduction
intortion
2. Inferior rectus – depression adduction
extortion
3. Inferior oblique - elevation abduction
extortion
4. Superior oblique - depression abduction
extortion
5. Medial rectus - adduction
6. Lateral rectus –abduction
Nerve supply - all are supplied by oculomotor
except SO4 & LR6
