szemgödöri

Szemgödöri is a Hungarian term that translates to "eye socket" or "orbital cavity." It refers to the bony structure within the skull that houses and protects the eyeball. This cavity is formed by several bones of the face, including the frontal bone, zygomatic bone, maxilla, ethmoid bone, lacrimal bone, sphenoid bone, and palatine bone.

The orbital cavity is crucial for vision as it contains not only the eyeball but also the extraocular muscles that control eye movement, the optic nerve which transmits visual information to the brain, lacrimal glands that produce tears, and various blood vessels and connective tissues. The shape and size of the orbital cavity can vary slightly between individuals and can be influenced by genetics and other factors.

Medical conditions affecting the szemgödöri can range from infections and inflammation to trauma and tumors. Injuries to the orbital socket can lead to a variety of symptoms, including pain, swelling, vision changes, and difficulty moving the eye. Anatomical abnormalities of the szemgödöri are also possible. The term is primarily used in anatomical and medical contexts when discussing the structures of the head and face.
