    Study Notes

    Oculomotor Nerve (CN III)

    • Medial nuclei of CN III innervate the medial rectus muscle.
    • Inferior oblique muscle is innervated by the trochlear nerve (CN IV).

    Size Principle in Skeletal Muscle Activation

    • The size principle states that motor units with the smallest muscle fibers are activated first because they are controlled by the smallest, most highly excitable motor neurons.
    • This principle optimizes the recruitment of tension in skeletal muscles.

    Gaze Holding

    • Gaze holding is achieved through slow vergence, optokinetic reflex, vestibulo-ocular reflex, and pursuit.
    • Saccades are not used for gaze holding, but rather for shifting gaze.

    Extraocular Muscles

    • The time response of extraocular muscles is shorter than most other muscle groups in the human body, with a response time of around 0.2 seconds.
    • Extraocular muscles lack a relaxation period.

    Effects of CN III Damage

    • A patient with a left orbital fracture that blocks the superior division of CN III will elevate their chin, tend to tilt the head to the right, and rotate their neck towards the left.

    Muscle Fiber Anatomy

    • A muscle fiber is surrounded by endomysium.

    Eye Movements

    • A duction is a movement of one eye.
    • Conjugate movements involve the simultaneous movement of both eyes in the same direction.

    Innervation of Extraocular Muscles

    • The superior rectus muscle has contralateral innervation.
    • The lateral rectus muscle has ipsilateral innervation.

    Saccades

    • Saccades are rapid eye movements that can reach speeds of up to 800 deg/sec.
    • They have a latency of around 90 deg/sec and are visually driven to stabilize the retinal image during large-field motion.

    Oculomotor Nerve (CN III)

    • Medial nuclei of CN III innervate the medial rectus muscle.
    • Inferior oblique muscle is innervated by the trochlear nerve (CN IV).
