First Day of School 2004

3. Goals for the Term Solid base of knowledge
Comfort with Ocular terminology
Basics of tissue structure & function
At the end of the course you can give yourself a 3D guided tour of the eye and orbit within your mind’s eye.

4. Exam Schedule & Grading
Midterm 37%
Lab work sheets & hw (4%)
Quizzes: Four each 5.5% (22%)
and Final Exam 37%
some of Final is review
There will be 4 or 5 Lab sessions, attendance is mandatory

5. Exam Schedule & Grading
Oral presentation (8%)
Two person team
5 minutes talk on ocular health problem or disease
Team member 1 gives 2.5 min on the anatomy related to topic
Team member 2 gives 2.5 min on the pathology, etiology, treatment, prevalence
Schedule in advance anytime
Topic must be approved by instructor
Hand outs must be given to the class

6. Sources of information
The Human Eye structure and Function by Clyde Oyster
Hand-outs, outlines including additional figures.
CD’s of power point presentations for out of class review
Come to Class

7. Texts and Supplements Oyster (you buy this one) The Human Eye
Williams & Warwick Functional Neuroanatomy of Man (copy provided)
Snell & Lemp: Clinical Anatomy of the Eye (copy of selected figures provided)

8. Broad-based learning Read the Book Power point presentations
Almost all lectures available on CD
Hand out outline the lecture
Study Guides
When all else fails: RTB
Read the Book
Go to Class

9. Competitive Analysis Competitors - YOU HAVE NONE
Drive yourself - help your classmates
Work with each other
Share strengths overcome weaknesses
Its not about grades, its about knowledge!
Report cheating to Honor council

10. Any Questions?
How do I get
this thing
off my finger?

11. Visual system Overview
Let me first remind you that the phototransduction can also take place outside of reconstituted systems. That studying whole cells, tissues and organs will

12. Overview When the structure seems complicated , think FUNCTION
Imaging : OPTICAL CLARITY
Information processing: pathways, adaptation
Mobility: balance, strength, speed, MECHANICS
Biological System: respiration, pain, protection

13. Terminology Rostral (toward top of head - rooster)
Caudal (toward tail) cauda equina - horses tail
Anterior - front - ventral
Posterior- back - dorsal (dorsal fin)
Medial (midline) {Nasal}
Lateral away from midline (Temporal)
Central -
Peripheral- away from center

14. Reference planes
How do you know this is a diagram of the right eye?

15. Pop Quiz #1 a: Lens b: Ciliary Body (Pars plicata)
c: Pars Plana of ciliary body
d: Retina
e: Zonule or suspensory ligament e b c d

16. Basic components of eyeball

17. Eyeball: Optical Pathway
Cornea
Anterior Chamber
Iris/Pupil
Posterior Chamber
Lens
Vitreous
Retina

18. Eyeball: Layered tissues
Protective epithelium
Cornea/Sclera
Choroid
RPE
All to protect/nourish the nervous tissue of retina/optic nerve

19. Uvea:
uveal layer is shown in red: It consists of the iris, ciliary body and choroid
From Williams & Warwick

20. Neuronal function
Let me first remind you that the phototransduction can also take place outside of reconstituted systems. That studying whole cells, tissues and organs will
