Study Notes

Eye Muscles and Their Functions

Lateral Rectus: Moves the eye laterally, away from the nose.
Medial Rectus: Responsible for moving the eye medially, towards the nose.
Superior Rectus: Elevates the eye while also turning it medially.
Inferior Rectus: Depresses the eye and turns it medially.
Inferior Oblique: Elevates the eye and turns it laterally, facilitating upward movement.
Superior Oblique: Depresses the eye and turns it laterally, assisting in downward movement.
Ciliary Muscle: Changes the shape of the lens for focusing on objects at different distances.
