What are orbits?
Open in App
Solution
Orbits:
The orbit refers to the bony socket or skull cavity present behind the eye.
It consists of the eye, orbital fascia, extraocular muscles, and cranial nerves.
It also houses the lacrimal glands, septum, and short ciliary nerves.
The orbit is formed from the union of the frontal bone, maxilla, and zygomatic bone.
This space contains fat that protects the eye and coordinates eye movements via the extraocular muscles.
