Why does superior oblique tendon pass through the trochlea?
The superior oblique muscle passes through the trochlea to change the direction of its pull, allowing it to have a more efficient and effective action on the eye. This unique anatomical arrangement helps the eye move smoothly and coordinate its movements for binocular vision.
What is the Ipsilateral antagonist of right inferior oblique ocular muscle?
The ipsilateral antagonist of the right inferior oblique muscle is the right superior oblique muscle. The superior oblique muscle acts to depress and abduct the eye, while the inferior oblique muscle acts to elevate and abduct the eye.
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.
Superior oblique muscle is contracted which way will rotate?
When the superior oblique muscle contracts, the eye will rotate in a downward and outward direction. This movement is known as intorsion and abduction of the eye. It helps to move the eye downwards and away from the nose.
What Muscle rolls the eyeball downward?
Trick question! Inferior Rectus and Superior Oblique. You sneaky person you :)
What is the muscle involved in the rotation of the eye?
The muscle is called an 'extraocular muscle', of which there are 6 - they are relatively small,incredible strong and efficient. They are : medial rectus; superior rectus; superior oblique; lateral rectus; inferior rectus and inferior oblique.
Which muscle type allows you to direct your eyeballs?
The muscles are called the extraocular muscules, and they are the superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, lateral rectus, superior oblique, and inferior oblique.
What eye movement is caused by the superior oblique?
Superior oblique is controlled by cranial nerve VI (Trochlear nerve). This muscle depresses the eye and moves it laterally. A person with damage to this cranial nerve will have difficulty looking down and to the side.
Which eye muscle sends its tendon of origin through a pulley before inserting on a globe?
superior oblique
Which muscle rolls the eyeball upward?
Primarily the superior rectus muscle rotates the eye into upwards gaze.However, if the eye is turned towards the nose (facing intwards) then the inferior oblique muscle does much of the elevation.
What are the six things attached to each eye that control and coordinate the movements of the eye?
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.
What does the inferior oblique muscle of the eye do?
The inferior oblique muscle of the eye, abducts, elevates and laterally rotates the eye
