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
What else can I help you with?
What extrinsic eye muscle turns the eye medially?

What extrinsic eye muscle would cause lateral strabismus of the right eye?
lateral rectus

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)
What extrinsic eye muscle turns the eye up and laterally?
Superior Rectus allows you to look Up & In, whiel the Superior Oblique allows you to look Up & Out.
Is it true that the extrinsic eye muscle motor units contain only 8 to 12 muscle cells and in some cases as few as 2 or 3 muscle cells?
yes true

Extrinsic muscles of the hand originate in the antebrachium (forearm).
What eye muscle control the movement of the eye?
