∙ 14y agoMovement of the eyeball is controlled by 6 muscles:
For temporal movement (to direct the pupil laterally) - Lateral rectus muscle
For medial movement (to direct the pupil medially) - Medial rectus muscle
For upward movement (to direct the pupil upward) - Superior rectus muscle
For downward movement (to direct the pupil downward) - Inferior rectus muscle
For a combination of medial and downward movement as well as intorsion - superior oblique muscle
For a combination of lateral and upward movement as well as extorsion - inferior oblique muscle

The intrinsiceye muscles, (including the iris sphincter, radial pupilodilator muscles and the ciliarymuscle), are under the control of the autonomic nervous system(involuntary)
