    Anatomy of Eyelids

    Uploaded by

    Feiruz Hamid Umar Bahasywen
    The document summarizes the anatomy of the eyelids. It discusses the 6 structural layers of the eyelid from skin and subcutaneous tissue on the outside to conjunctiva on the inside. It describes the main muscles that control eyelid movement - the orbicularis oculi muscle that closes the eyelids and the levator palpebral superioris muscle that opens the eyelids. The document also mentions other anatomical structures like the tarsal plates, meibomian glands and eyelashes.

    ANATOMY OF EYELIDS

    FEIRUZ HAMID UMAR BAHASYWEN (A126670)

    Eyelids
    Act to protect the anterior surface and cover the globe from local injury Spread tear film across the cornea with blinking Aid in regulation of light reaching the eye Aid in tear flow regulation by their pumping action

    6 Structural Layers of Eyelid


    1. Skin and subcutaneous tissue 2. Striated Muscle ( Orbicularis Occuli & Levator Palpebral Superiosis ) 3. Mullers Muscle 4. Fibrous Layer ( Tarsal Plates & Orbital Septum ) 5. Conjunctiva

    1. Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue


    Skin : thinnest of the body 2 layers : Epidermis - superficial keratinising stratified squamous epithelium - keratonocyte developed from basal cell layer Dermis - located below epidermis - vascular connective tissue - hair follicles, sebum gland and sweat gland Upper eyelid crease : caused by attachment of levator aponeurosis to pretarsal orbicularis bundle and skin

    2. Striated Muscle
    a. Orbiccularis Occuli Superficial muscles of facial expression Close the eyelids by moving down the upper lid to meet the lower lid and palpebral fissure tighten up from the outer to the inner canthus 300 msec to complete ; 1 blink / 3 sec Forms the thickess of the eyelid The muscle divided into the orbital and palpebral parts, with the latter being divided further into the preseptal and pretarsal portions. Palpebral : blinking, winking ( spontaneous ) Pretarsal : forced closure Both of the palpebral and orbital portion is innervated by facial nerve

    cont..
    b. Levator Palpebral Superiosis Originates at the inferior aspect of lesser wing of sphenoid bone, just above the optic foramen It is a skeletal muscle that aided by tarsal muscle Maintain the position of the upper eyelid Innervated by oculomotor nerve

    A : Frontalis B : Corrugator superciliaris C : Procerus D : Orbital orbicularis E : Preseptal orbicularis F : Pretarsal orbicularis.

    the anatomy of of orbicularis occuli muscle

    3. Mullers Muscle
    Originate from the undersurface of the levator in the region of the aponeuroticmuscle junction, and insert into the superior margin of the tarsus. To assist levator palpebral superiosis and raise the upper lid Innervated by sympathetic nervous system Fatty infiltration may occur, giving the muscle a yellowish color, due to aging

    4. Fibrous Layer
    a. Orbital Septum Fibrous tissue, arises from periosteum of the orbital margin to the edge of tarsal plates Laterally attached to the orbital margin Hollowed by blood vassels, nerves, and aponeurosis of the levator Fuse with : - levator aponeurosis ( to cover the tarsal plate ) - capsulopalpebral orbital septum complex Weak and thin with age

    cont..
    b. Tarsal Plates Dense connective tissue that responsible for the integrity of the lids Skeleton of eyelid Each tarsus approximately 25 - 29 mm long and 1 mm thick Upper plate ~ 10 12 mm high Lower eyelid ~ 4 mm high

    5. Conjunctiva
    A clear mucous membrane Non-keratinizing squamous epithelium and goblet cell Posterior layer of the eyelids Goblet cell producing mucous component of tear film

    Other Anatomical Consideration


    1.

    Lid Margin
    Mucocutaneous junction (grey line) 2mm wide ; 30 mm long

    2.

    Eyelashes
    One of the hairs that grow at the edge of the eyelid Protect the eye Upper lid : 100 150 eyelashes Lower lid : 50 75 eyelashes Eyelashes take about 7 8 weeks to grow back if pulled out

    3.

    Meibomian Glands
    Also known as tarsal gland. Originated in tarsus Located at the rim of the eyelids inside the tarsal plate Responsible for the supply of meibum, and oily substance that prevents evaporation of the eyes tear film. Upper : 25 glands Lower : 20 glands
