What else can I help you with?
The muscles that are attached to bones of the orbit and to the sclera are located outside the eyeball and are described as?
extraocular muscles.
What attaches the tongue to the pharynx?
There are two types of muscles associated with the tongue, the intrinsic and the extrinsic. The extrinsic muscles attach the tongue to the skull and anchor it to the throat.
What are the three layers of the eye from the outer layer to the inner layer?
The eye contains three layers which are: the outer fibrous tunic, an intermediate vascular tunic, and an inner neural tunic (retina). The outer fibrous tunic function is to serve as the sclera and cornea. The cornea serves as a opening to the eye and helps with thefocus of light rays. The sclera protects from large and small particles and provides a connection for extrinsic muscles. The middle vascular tunic consists of three eye structures: choroid coat that helps to consumeexcess light, this is why the inside of the eye is dark and the ciliarry body which createsthe ciliary muscles and processes, and the iris which has smooth muscle controls the pupil size and also the colored part of the eye. The inner nervous tunic contains the retina andthe visual receptor cells. This portion of the eye is made of different cell types like the nerve cell.
Cranial nerves that have some function in vision include the?
The cranial nerves that have some function in vision include the optic nerve (II), which is responsible for carrying visual information from the eye to the brain, and the oculomotor nerve (III), which controls the movement of the eye muscles.
What would happen to your neurons if any of its parts were injured or diseased?
The neuron would not fire (function) correctly. The muscles or glands that they go to will not work. If you have ever seen Steven Hawking, he has a disease called ALS which prevents him from walking or even talking now. He communicates by using one of a few muscles he has that still function near his eye.
How do extrinsic eye muscles differ in action from the instrintic eye muscles?
Extrinsic eye muscles move the eyeball in relation to the rest of the body, whereas intrinsic muscles move structures within the eyeball.A: The extrinsic muscles control the movement of the eyes.The extrinsic muscles are controlled by the somatic nervous system(voluntary) The intrinsicmuscles control the lens and pupil. The intrinsiceye muscles, (including the iris sphincter, radial pupilodilator muscles and the ciliarymuscle), are under the control of the autonomic nervous system(involuntary)
Why is it more of a strain on the intrinsic and extrinsic eye muscle to look at the close objects than at far objects?
extrinsic muscles are strained
Which of the extrinsic eye muscles moves the eye up and turns it toward the outside margin of the body?
inferior oblique
What extrinsic eye muscles are controlled during the convergence reflex?
The medial rectus muscles are primarily responsible for the convergence reflex. When focusing on a near object, these muscles contract to rotate both eyes inward, allowing them to converge and maintain single binocular vision.
Is gross eye movements are produced by five extrinsic eye muscles attached to the outer surface of each eye?
yes they are, I studied this in college
What extrinsic eye muscles control the movement of the eyes during convergence reflex?
Medial Rectus
Five accessory eye structures that contribute to the formation of tears?
eyebrows, eyelids, lacrimal apparatus, conjunctiva, and extrinsic eye muscles
If a person with an injury to the extrinsic muscles of the eye would find it difficult to what?
focus light onto the retina
How many extrinsic eye muscles are attached to the exterior surface of each eyeball?
30
What has the author Hyman Saul Sugar written?
Hyman Saul Sugar has written: 'The extrinsic eye muscles' -- subject(s): Diseases, Eye, Muscles 'The glaucomas' -- subject(s): Glaucoma
What functions do the extrinsic muscles of the eye perform?
It's the string like things on the back of the eye next to the optic nerve, it allows the eye to move around.Human eye have ciliary muscles not eye muscles,which holds the eye lens in position.these muscles controls the focal length of eye lens.They change the shape of the lens. (Novanet)
What are the extrinsic eye muscles?
Superior Rectus Medial Rectus InferiorRectus Superior Oblique Inferior Oblique Lateral Rectus
