& PHYSIOLOGY OF THE ORBIT
Dr. Ayesha Abdullah

LEARNING OUTCOME
By the end of this lecture the students
would be able to;
“correlate the structural organization
of the orbit with its functions and
clinical significance”

Brain
Floor
• Zygomatic, maxilla and palatine bones.
• weak part
• Infraorbital groove & canal for the infraorbital
nerve
• Maxillary sinus.
Medial Wall
• lacrimal, maxillary, ethmoid & sphenoid
• Thinnest wall
• Lamina papyrecea
• It separates the orbit from the nasal
cavity, the ethmoidal and the sphenoidal
sinuses
Lateral Wall
• Zygomatic & Sphenoid (greater wing)
• Stronger wall
• It separates the orbit from the (temporal
fossa) and the brain

Brain : Orbit is closely related to the brain in
relation to its roof and lateral wall.
Para nasal sinuses: Orbit is intimately connected
to the paranasal sinuses.
Maxillaly sinus via the floor.
Ethmoidal and sphenoidal sinus via the medial wall.
Frontal sinus at the roof.
Any infection can easily spread to the orbit from the
sinuses.
Nasal cavity: Nasal cavity is related to the orbit
at its medial or inner wall & through the
nasolacrimal duct
Cavernous sinus via the veins of the orbit
Pterygopalatine fossa via the inferior orbital
fissure

Eyeball & the optic nerve
Muscles – To move the eyeball.
Nerves –
To move the muscles ( III, IV, VI).
To carry different sensations ( V)
parasympathetic innervation ( accommodation, pupillary
constriction & lacrimal gland stimulation
Sympathetic innervation ( pupillary dilatation, vasoconstriction,
smooth muscles of the eye lids & hidrosis)
Blood vessels ( branches of ophthalmic artery, superior & inferior
ophthalmic veins)
Fat & orbital fascia – For padding purposes &for smooth
movements
Most of the Lacrimal Apparatus ( lacrimal gland & part of the tear
drainage system)
Lacrimal gland and the
view of the orbit from
the roof
Orbital fascia
• Periorbita
• Orbital septum
• Tenon’s capsule
• Fascial spaces

Summary
• Orbit is the protective casing for the delicate
visual apparatus - the eyeball
• It is made up of 7 bones, has 4 margins, 4
walls/ boundaries, 4 important openings , 5
important relations & 6 contents
• Infection can spread to the brain from the
orbit directly or through the venous drainage
• Trauma mostly damages the medial wall &
the floor ( the weakest parts give way)
• The symptomotology of orbital diseases is
reflective of its clinical anatomy
