|---|---|
| orbital eminence of zygomatic bone | A small elevation on the orbital surface of the zygomatic bone, just within the orbital margin, about 1 cm below the zygomaticofrontal suture; it gives attachment to the lateral check ligament, the lateral palpebral ligament, and the suspensory ligament of the eyeball. Synonym: eminentia orbitalis ossis zygomatici, orbital eminence of zygomatic bone, Whitnall's tubercle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| orbital exenteration | Removal of the entire contents of the orbit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| orbital fasciae | The fascial layers in the orbit consisting of periorbita, septum orbitale, fascia muscularis musculorum bulbi, and vagina bulbi. Synonym: fasciae orbitales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| orbital fat-pad | The mass of fat contained in the orbit that contributes to the support of the eyeball. Synonym: corpus adiposum orbitae, fat body of orbit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| orbital fractures | Fractures of the bones in the orbit, which include parts of the frontal, ethmoidal, lacrimal, and sphenoid bones and the maxilla and zygoma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| orbital gyri | A number of small, irregular convolutions occupying the concave inferior surface of each frontal lobe of the cerebrum. Synonym: gyri orbitales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| orbital hernia | Displacement of orbital fat through a defect in the orbital septum or Tenon's capsule into the subcutaneous tissues of the eyelid or subconjunctivally. (05 Mar 2000) |
| orbital implant | The glass, plastic, or metal device placed in the muscle cone after enucleation of an eye. (05 Mar 2000) |

| orbital lamina of ethmoid bone | A thin plate of ethmoid bone forming part of the medial wall of the orbit and the lateral wall for the ethmoidal labyrinth. Synonym: lamina orbitalis ossis ethmoidalis, lamina papyracea, orbital lamina of ethmoid bone, orbital layer of ethmoid bone, orbital plate, paper plate, papyraceous plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| orbital layer of ethmoid bone | A thin plate of ethmoid bone forming part of the medial wall of the orbit and the lateral wall for the ethmoidal labyrinth. Synonym: lamina orbitalis ossis ethmoidalis, lamina papyracea, orbital lamina of ethmoid bone, orbital layer of ethmoid bone, orbital plate, paper plate, papyraceous plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| orbital margin of eyelids | The outer or peripheral attached borders of the upper and lower eyelids; the "root" of the eyelids, along which it is attached to the orbital rim. (05 Mar 2000) |
| orbital muscle | <anatomy> A rudimentary nonstriated muscle, crossing the infraorbital groove and sphenomaxillary fissure, intimately united with the periosteum of the orbit. Synonym: musculus orbitalis, Muller's muscle, orbital muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
