Study Notes
Eye Anatomy and Muscle Function
- The transverse axis runs horizontally through the eye at the equator, enabling rotational movements and stability.
Extraocular Muscles and Their Functions
- The inferior rectus muscle is responsible for depression, excycloduction (outward rotation), and adduction (movement toward the nose) from the primary position.
- The superior oblique muscle is responsible for elevation, incycloduction (inward rotation), and adduction from the primary position.
Innervation of Extraocular Muscles
- The oculomotor nerve innervates all extraocular muscles except the superior oblique (innervated by the trochlear nerve) and the lateral rectus (innervated by the abducens nerve).
Eye Movement
- Adduction refers to the movement of the eye nasally (toward the midline), allowing for coordinated binocular vision.
