Inferior Oblique Human & Physiology Lab Manual, Cat Edition 10th Edition p365
A total of six muscle move each eyeball, 4 rectus muscels and 2 obliques. The superior, inferior, lateral and medial rectal muscle all pull the eye to be looking more in ther own direction. The superior oblique pulls the eye to look down and laterally and the inferior oblique pull the eye to look um and medialy.
The Medial Rectus.
The Trochlea Nerve (cranial nerve 4) controls the superior oblique muscle of the eye. It turns the eye laterally and downwards.
The inferior oblique muscle, which is located in the anterior portion beneath the eye (hence the inferior in the name). Its full Latin name is obliquus oculi inferior.
Trochlear Nerve innervates Superior Oblique(extrinsic eye muscle)Oculomotor Nerve innervates Inferior Oblique, Superior Rectus, Inferior Rectus, and Medial Rectus (which are all extrinsic eye muscles) along with Ciliary Body, and the Iris (which are both intrinsic eye muscles)Abducens Nerve innervates Lateral Rectus(extrinsic eye muscle)
The inferior oblique muscle of the eye, abducts, elevates and laterally rotates the eye
lateral rectus
strabismus
extrinsic muscles are strained
external eye muscles 6 extrinsic eye muscles 4-rectus (straight) muscles originate from the anualar ring superior (3), inferrrior (3) , medial(3) lateral (6)- move eye up and down medially and laterally 2-oblique muscles superior (4) and inferrior oblique (3)look side>side: one eye is elevated/the others depressed
