If you mean to turn your eye from side to side (abduction and adduction together as one), the medial and lateral rectus do this.
EOG (Electrooculography) is the abbreviation that refers to recording eye movements by measuring electrical activity of the extraocular muscles.
Ocular movements
The extrinsic muscles of the eye control the movement of the eyeball and enable eye movements, such as looking up, down, and sideways. These muscles work together to coordinate eye movements and allow us to track objects and focus on different points in our visual field.
Eye movements are accomplished by the Extraocular Muscles. The muscle that moves the eye medially is the Medial Rectus.
The six extraocular muscles control and coordinate the movements of the eye: the lateral rectus, medial rectus, superior rectus, inferior rectus, superior oblique, and inferior oblique muscles. Each muscle is responsible for a specific movement of the eye in different directions.
The most frequently affected muscles are the muscles outside the eye (extraocular muscles) that control eye movements; the muscles of the jaw, neck, and upper arm (biceps muscle); the muscles of the lower back (lumbar region); and the diaphragm
yes they are, I studied this in college
The tripod muscles are made up of the lateral rectus, medial rectus, and inferior oblique muscles in the eye. These muscles work together to control eye movements and help maintain proper alignment and coordination.
The hand muscles contain motor units that produce the greatest tension, followed by the back muscles and then the eye muscles. This is due to the varying sizes and recruitment patterns of motor units in different muscles throughout the body.
The movement of the eye within its socket is primarily controlled by six extraocular muscles, which are attached to the outer surface of the eyeball. These muscles work in pairs to facilitate various types of eye movement, including up and down, side to side, and rotational movements. The coordinated action of these muscles allows for smooth tracking of objects and helps maintain visual focus. Additionally, the cranial nerves innervate these muscles, ensuring precise control over eye movements.
It is one of six extraocular muscles that controsl the movements of the eye
