What else can I help you with?
Is the palpebrae connected at the lateral and medial canthus?
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.
What muscles are in the tripod muscles?
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.
What are the inner and outter canthi of the eye?
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.
Lacrimal glands are located on which surface of the eye?
The lacrimal glands are located on the superior and lateral surfaces of the eye.
When was Eye to Ear created?
Eye to Ear was created in 1992.
Is the ear medial or lateral to the eye?
The ears are lateral to the eyes. The eyes are medial to the ears.
The ear is distal to the eye?
The ears are lateral to the eyes. The terms "distal" and "proximal" don't apply to the face.
The eye muscles produce diagonal eye movements?
If you mean to turn your eye from side to side (abduction and adduction together as one), the medial and lateral rectus do this.
Is the palpebrae connected at the lateral and medial canthus?
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.
Is the nose medial to the cheekbones?
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.)
What are the extrinsic eye muscles?
Superior Rectus Medial Rectus InferiorRectus Superior Oblique Inferior Oblique Lateral Rectus
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 muscles are in the tripod muscles?
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.
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.
Which two muscles must contract in order to get both eyes to rotate the the left?
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.
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.
