The shoulders are lateral and inferior to the eyes. The eyes are superior and medial to the shoulders.
Yes, the palpebrae (eyelids) are connected at both the lateral and medial canthus, forming the corners of the eye where the upper and lower eyelids meet. These connections help maintain the structure and function of the eyelids.
The tripod muscles are made up of the lateral rectus, medial rectus, and inferior oblique muscles in the eye. These muscles work together to control eye movements and help maintain proper alignment and coordination.
The inner canthus (or medial canthus) is the corner of the eye where the upper and lower eyelids meet near the nose. The outer canthus (or lateral canthus) is the corner of the eye where the upper and lower eyelids meet away from the nose.
The lacrimal glands are located on the superior and lateral surfaces of the eye.
Eye to Ear was created in 1992.
The ears are lateral to the eyes. The eyes are medial to the ears.
The ears are lateral to the eyes. The terms "distal" and "proximal" don't apply to the face.
If you mean to turn your eye from side to side (abduction and adduction together as one), the medial and lateral rectus do this.
Yes, the palpebrae (eyelids) are connected at both the lateral and medial canthus, forming the corners of the eye where the upper and lower eyelids meet. These connections help maintain the structure and function of the eyelids.
Yes, the nose is medial to the cheekbones. The nose is toward the midline as compared to the cheekbones. Lateral is away from midline (opposite of medial.)

The muscles are called the extraocular muscules, and they are the superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, lateral rectus, superior oblique, and inferior oblique.
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.
The tripod muscles are made up of the lateral rectus, medial rectus, and inferior oblique muscles in the eye. These muscles work together to control eye movements and help maintain proper alignment and coordination.
The medial rectus inserts on the medial surface of the eye. It is innervated by the oculomotor nerve.
levoversion (looking left) involves:left lateral rectusright medial rectusThis is called conjugate movement (the eyes move in the same direction). Eye muscles work together with other eye muscles, of the same eye and the opposite eye, to move both eyes together in various directions. These are known as yoked eye movements.
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.
