It is responsible for inferior rectus, superior rectus, medial rectus, and inferior oblique. Lateral rectus muscle is innervated by abducens nerve (CN VI). Superior oblique muscle is innervated by trochlear nerve (CN III).
What is the smallest cranial nerve?
The smallest cranial nerve is the trochlear nerve (CN IV). It is responsible for controlling the superior oblique muscle of the eye, which helps with downward and inward eye movement.
What nerve is not a branch of the trigeminal nerve?
