  2. Orbital Bones and Orbital Fractures: An Overview - All About...

    www.allaboutvision.com/eye-care/eye-anatomy/orbital-bone

    Orbital bones provide a base within the skull for the eyeball to rest, allowing the eye to move and function properly. This structure is designed to provide strong protection for your eyes in the event of head trauma or injury, though sometimes the bones themselves can sustain a fracture.

  3. Orbital Bones: Anatomy, Fractures, and Treatments - Vision Center

    www.visioncenter.org/eye-anatomy/orbital-bone

    What is the Orbital Bone? The orbital bones join to form the orbit or socket of the eye, where the eyeball rests. The orbital structure provides pathways for the eye to connect with the nerves, lacrimal apparatus, adipose tissues, blood vessels, and extraocular muscles.

    By definition, the orbit (bony orbit or orbital cavity) is a skeletal cavity comprised of seven bones situated within the skull. The cavity surrounds and provides mechanical protection for the eye and soft tissue structures related to it.

  6. Orbital Bones - Ophthalmology Review

    www.ophthalmologyreview.org/articles/orbital-bones

    There are 7 bones that comprise the orbit. It is our job as ophthalmologists to be able to readily identify these bones and know pretty much every bump, notch, hole, and contour of these bones and what structures pass through, travel along, and attach to these bones. The bones are: Sphenoid; Ethmoid; Lacrimal; Frontal; Palatine; Maxillary ...

  7. The floor of the orbit consists of three bones: the maxillary bone, the palatine bone, and the orbital plate of the zygomatic bone. This part of the orbit is also the roof of the maxillary sinus. There is an infraorbital groove along the floor and it travels into a canal anteriorly where it eventually exits as the infraorbital foramen.

  8. The orbits are symmetrical paired structures separated by the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Seven bones form each orbit: frontal, sphenoid, maxillary, zygomatic, palatine, ethmoid, and lacrimal. The orbital roof is formed by the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone and the frontal bone.

  9. Anatomy of the Orbit - PMC

    pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7561454

    The orbit is a paired, transversely oval, and cone-shaped osseous cavity bounded and formed by the anterior and middle cranial base as well as the viscerocranium.

  10. The orbital cavity is a four-walled, pyramid-shaped structure that is formed by several bones of the skull, including the frontal bone, zygomatic bone, sphenoid bone, and ethmoid bone. The orbital cavity is bounded by the orbital margin, a bony ridge that encircles the orbit and separates it from the surrounding facial structures.
