What else can I help you with?
What extrinsic eye muscle turns the eye medially?
The Medial Rectus.
What muscle is inserted on the medial surface of the eye?
The medial rectus inserts on the medial surface of the eye. It is innervated by the oculomotor nerve.
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.
Turns the eye medially?
Eye movements are accomplished by the Extraocular Muscles. The muscle that moves the eye medially is the Medial Rectus.
What Muscles are used to look cross eyed?
The inferior oblique, superior oblique, lateral rectus, and medial rectus are all used to look cross eyed
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 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 moves eyeball medially?
The medial rectus muscle is responsible for moving the eyeball medially by contracting. This muscle is one of the extraocular muscles that control eye movements.
What eye muscle control the movement of the eye?
A total of six muscle move each eyeball, 4 rectus muscels and 2 obliques. The superior, inferior, lateral and medial rectal muscle all pull the eye to be looking more in ther own direction. The superior oblique pulls the eye to look down and laterally and the inferior oblique pull the eye to look um and medialy.
What are the extrinsic eye muscles?
Superior Rectus Medial Rectus InferiorRectus Superior Oblique Inferior Oblique Lateral Rectus
Which cranial nerve is damaged due to a medial strabismus injury?
Medial strabismus is caused by cranial nerve damage. There is no such thing as a medial strabismus injury that causes a nerve to be damaged, rather the damaged nerve causes strabismus. A strabismus refers to the misalignment of the eyes or a deviation in gaze. A medial strabismus would be the result of damage to the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI). CNVI innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which pulls the eye laterally. Therefore, if this nerve is damaged, the eye is no longer able to pull laterally, and the tonus of the medial rectus muscle acts unopposed. This pulls the eye medially, causing medial strabismus.
