- To accomplish this, the neural foramen is surrounded by circular muscle fibres that form a sphincter. Contraction of these muscle fibres makes the foramen smaller, closing the seal, whilst relaxing the sphincter opens the foramen and allows coelomic fluid to pass from one segment to the next.

Optic Nerve Each optic nerve contains approx. one million fibres carrying information from the rods and cones of the retina. The optic nerves progress from the posterior of the eyeball, into the skull, through the optic chiasma (also known as the optic commissure), then on to the cortex of the occipital lobe on each side of the brain. More about Ophthalmology: This section includes short definitions and descriptions of the parts of the eye.

3b. 5. The Sinuses of the Dura Mater (2) A parietal emissary vein passes through the parietal foramen and connects the superior sagittal sinus with the veins of the scalp. (3) A net-work of minute veins (rete canalis hypoglossi) traverses the hypoglossal canal and joins the transverse sinus with the vertebral vein and deep veins of the neck.8) An internal carotid plexus of veins traverses the carotid canal and unites the cavernous sinus with the internal jugular vein. (9) A vein is transmitted through the foramen cecum and connects the superior sagittal sinus with the veins of the nasal cavity.

- These nerves all pass through the superior orbital fissure, a foramen in the sphenoid bone at the rear of the eye socket. Cranial nerve 3, the oculomotor nerve, is a motor nerve that controls muscles around the eye, as well as the ability of the pupil to respond to light changes.ranial nerve 6, the abducent nerve, is a motor nerve that allows the eye to move laterally. Cranial Nerve 5, Maxillary Branch. The maxillary branch of the trigeminal nerve, a sensory branch that supplies the upper lip, sinuses and palate, passes through the foramen rotundum, an opening in the middle of the skull.

- This nerve, an outgrowth of. the diencephalon, leaves the orbit via the optic canal to enter. the middle cranial fossa. There, the optic nerves of the right. and left sides join each other to form the optic chiasma(G., “optic crossing”) where partial decussation of the optic nerve. ﬁbers of the two sides takes place.

- The optic nerve is peculiar in that its fibers and ganglion cells are probably third in the series of neurons from the receptors to the brain. Consequently the optic nerve corresponds rather to a tract of fibers within the brain than to the other cranial nerves. Its fibers pass backward and medialward through the orbit and optic foramen to the optic commissure where they partially decussate.

optic chiasm Axons from the nasal retina cross to the opposite side, whereas axons from the temporal retina run directly caudal without crossing; some pass transversely on the posterior surface between the two optic tracts, and others pass transversely on the anterior surface between the two optic nerves.

Interventricular foramina (neuroanatomy) The lateral ventricles connected to the third ventricle by the interventricular foramina. In the brain, the interventricular foramina (or foramina of Monro) are channels that connect the paired lateral ventricles with the third ventricle at the midline of the brain.he foramina were named after the Scottish physician and University of Edinburgh graduate Alexander Monro, who first described the structures in his 1783 publication, Observations on the Structure and Functions of the Nervous System. They had previously been identified by the 17th century anatomist Raymond Vieussens.

Thin layer of tissue covering the front of the eye, except t Optic Nerve. The Optic Nerve, also called Cranial Nerve II, is the nerve that transmits visual information from the Retina to the Brain. Optic Disc. The Optic Disc or Optic Nerve head is the point in the eye where the optic nerve fibers leave the retina.Due to absence of light sensitive rods and cones of the retina at this point, it is not sensitive to light and thus is also known as The Blind Spot or Anatomical Blind Spot.he Optic Nerve, also called Cranial Nerve II, is the nerve that transmits visual information from the Retina to the Brain.

Structures passing through foramina of skull Structures passing through foramina of skull. The internal surface of the cranial base can be divided into 3 cranial fossae, the anterior, middle, and posterior. The anterior and middle fossae are separated by the lesser wing of sphenoid bone, and the middle and posterior fossae are separated by petrous part of temporal bone. Various structures (nerves, arteries, veins) passing through various foramina of skull are listed below: Foramen Ovale: Mnemonic: MALE 1. Mandibular Nerve (CN V3) 2. Accessory meningeal nerve 3. Lesser petrosal nerve 4. Emissary vein (Cavernous sinus to pterygoid plexus) 5. Occasionally anterior trunk of middle meningeal artery. Foramen Spinosum. Mnemonic: MEN 1.

The Optic Nerve As the optic nerve leaves the back of the eye, it travels to the  optic chiasm, located just below and in front of the pituitary  gland (which is why a tumor on the pituitary gland, pressing on the  optic chiasm, can cause vision problems).

- The optic cup is small. For these reasons, examination of the optic nerve and its ability to transmit the visual message is an essential portion of the examination for glaucoma. In most patients, the optic nerve can be readily examined. It can be seen directly inside the eye with an instrument called the ophthalmoscope.or these reasons, examination of the optic nerve and its ability to transmit the visual message is an essential portion of the examination for glaucoma.

- Each cervical vertebra consists of a thin ring of bone, or vertebral arch, surrounding the vertebral and transverse foramina. The vertebral foramen is a large opening in the center of the vertebra that provides space for the spinal cord and its meninges as they pass through the neck. Flanking the vertebral foramen on each side are the much smaller transverse foramina. The transverse foramina surround the vertebral arteries and veins, which, along with the carotid arteries and jugular veins, have the vital job of carrying blood to and from the brain.

Superior orbital fissure The superior orbital fissure is a foramen in the skull, although strictly it is more of a cleft, lying between the lesser and greater wings of the sphenoid bone. 1  1 Structures passing through. number of important anatomical structures pass through the fissure, and these can be damaged in orbital trauma, particularly blowout fractures through the floor of the orbit into the maxillary sinus. These structures are:

- Other causes of damage to these nerves include head traumaand tearing of the nerves, smoking, cocaine, or brain tumors impinging on the nerves. Optic Nerve (CN-II): Sensory for vision. Its nerve arise from the ganglion cells of the retina and pass through theoptic foramen (optic canal).agus Nerve (CN-X): Mixed: sensory and motor. Passes through the jugular foramen. It passes through the neck nextto the carotid arteries, after which the two travel together next to the esophagus through thediaphragm into the abdomen.
