| oculomotor muscles | Muscles of the eye that include musculi bulbi (extraocular), musculus orbicularis oculi (eyelids), and musculus orbitalis. These control the eye and surrounding structures. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| oculomotor nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Responsible for motor enervation of upper eyelid muscle, extraocular muscle and pupillary muscle. Lesions of the oculomotor nerve results in ptosis (dropping eyelid), deviation of the eyeball outward, double vision and a dilated pupil. (27 Sep 1997) |
| oculomotor nerve paralysis | Partial or complete paralysis of the eye muscles due to third cranial, or oculomotor, nerve lesion. The lesion may result from injury, ischemia (cerebral haemorrhage), tumours, or other brain pathology. (12 Dec 1998) |
| oculomotor nucleus | The composite group of motor neurons innervating all of the external eye muscles except the musculus rectus lateralis and musculus obliquus superior, and including the musculus levator palpebrae superioris; the most rostral component of the nucleus is the Edinger-Westphal nucleus which innervates the musculi sphincter pupillae and ciliaris via the ciliary ganglion. The oculomotor nucleus lies in the rostral half of the midbrain, near the midline in the most ventral part of the central gray substance; fibres of the medial longitudinal fasciculus form its lateral borders. Synonym: nucleus nervi oculomotorii, nucleus of oculomotor nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oculomotor response | Widespread myogenic potential evoked by visual stimuli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oculomotor system | That part of the central nervous system having to do with eye movements; it is composed of pathways connecting various regions of the cerebrum, brainstem, and ocular nuclei, utilizing multisynaptic articulations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior ciliary artery | <anatomy, artery> One of several arteries derived from muscular branches of the ophthalmic which perforate the anterior part of the sclera and anastomose with posterior ciliary arteries. Synonym: arteria ciliaris anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal lamina of ciliary body | The inner layer of the ciliary body, continuous with the basal layer of the choroid and supporting the pigment epithelium of the ciliary retina. Synonym: lamina basalis corporis ciliaris, basal layer of ciliary body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal layer of ciliary body | The inner layer of the ciliary body, continuous with the basal layer of the choroid and supporting the pigment epithelium of the ciliary retina. Synonym: lamina basalis corporis ciliaris, basal layer of ciliary body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malignant ciliary epithelioma | <tumour> Malignant hyperplasia of ciliary epithelium with frequent involvement of the pigmented layer. Synonym: adult medulloepithelioma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ciliary | 1. Relating to any cilia or hairlike processes, specifically, the eyelashes. 2. Relating to certain of the structures of the eyeball. Origin: Mod. L. Ciliaris, relating to or resembling an eyelid, or eyelash, fr. L. Cilium, eyelid (05 Mar 2000) |
| ciliary arteries | Arteries supplying the iris, conjunctiva, choroid, and ciliary body. The anterior ciliary arteries originate in the ophthalmic and lacrimal arteries and supply the iris and conjunctiva; the short posterior ciliary arteries originate in the ophthalmic artery and supply the choroid; the long posterior ciliary arteries originate in the ophthalmic artery and supply the iris and ciliary process. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ciliary blepharitis | Inflammation of the margins of the eyelids. Synonym: ciliary blepharitis, marginal blepharitis. Meibomian blepharitis, inflammation of the eyelid margin and the meibomian glands. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ciliary body | <anatomy> Tissue that includes the group of muscles that act on the eye lens to produce accommodation and the arterial circle of the iris. The inner ciliary epithelium is continuous with the pigmented retinal epithelium, the outer ciliary epithelium secretes the aqueous humour. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ciliary border of iris | The peripheral border of the iris attached to the ciliary body. Synonym: margo ciliaris iridis, ciliary margin of iris. (05 Mar 2000) |
