Superior Rectus

Cranial nerve involved in vision and visual fields?
The optic nerve (purely sensory; carry afferent impulses for vision) Oculomotor (innervates four of the extrinsic eye muscles) Trochlear (innervates an extrinsic eye muscle that hooks through a pulley-shaped ligament in the orbit) Abducens (innervates the muscle that turns abducts the eyeball)
What extrinsic eye muscle would cause lateral strabismus of the right eye?
lateral rectus
Define an extrinsic muscle of the eye?
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

The voluntary muscles of the eye is the extrinsic eye muscle that are controlled during the convergence reflex. The convergence reflex is keen on keeping the eye alert.
What is the condition caused by unequal tension exerted by the extrinsic eye muscle?
strabismus
What nerve governs most of the extrinsic eye muscle?
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)
