Anotomic Properties and Specific Peculiarities of the Eye

. CENTRAL ASIAN JOURNAL OF MEDICAL AND NATURAL SCIENCE, 4 (6): 128-130 (November 2023)

Abstract

The eye is protected from mechanical injury by being enclosed in a socket, or orbit, which is made up of portions of several of the bones of the skull to form a four-sided pyramid, the apex of which points back into the head. Thus, the floor of the orbit is made up of parts of the maxilla, zygomatic, and palatine bones, while the roof is made up of the orbital plate of the frontal bone and, behind this, by the lesser wing of the sphenoid.
