Study Notes

Trochlea and six extraocular muscles: Levator palpebrae superioris, Superior oblique, Superior rectus, Medial rectus, Inferior oblique, and Inferior rectus
Medial and lateral rectus are the only muscles acting in the X-axis, important for clinical testing
Superior and inferior rectus, oblique muscles, are the only muscles that elevate the eye (look up) in the Y-axis
Superior rectus and inferior oblique muscles must be isolated for clinical testing by aligning muscle pull with the gaze of the orbit
Superior oblique and inferior rectus muscles are the only muscles that depress the eye (look down) in the Y-axis
Innervation of extraocular muscles: LR6 SO4 AO3 (mnemonic)
Optic nerve, a sensory nerve, transmits visual information from the eye to the brain
Ophthalmic division of Trigeminal nerve, a sensory nerve, provides sensation to the eyeball and surrounding area
Motor nerves, Oculomotor [III], Trochlear [IV], Abducens [VI], innervate the extraocular muscles and the eye
Ophthalmic artery, a branch of the internal carotid artery, supplies blood to the eyeball and orbit structures
Two venous channels, superior and inferior ophthalmic veins, drain blood from the orbit and eye.
